Death and JW's
by Wordly Andre in
1. jw
2. friends
in regards to other posts about people dropping dead during meeting and assemblies, it has been my belief that jw's have a pretty weird way of dealing with death.

i'm not sure if its just my family or what but none of my brothers or sisters ever go to visit my dad's grave.

i know this for sure, because no one in my family burried him, i took his ashes and placed him in a cemetery, none of my jw brothers or sister ever asked where is dad located, and by that time my mom was already married to another jw.

I've posted here before about my relationship with my dad before he died and how his last words to me were that he could never forgive me for turning my back on jehovah, and that I was a dissappointment to him and he will never forgive me for the way I live my life. I still bring him flowers 4 times a year, no one in my family knows that I do this, it's just between him and me, well now you guys.
That is so sad... I am so sorry you had to endure such. I would do the same as you, I would still visit and bring flowers, no matter how things had ended between us. Like you said... "He was your Dad".
When my second husband died, a JW, some of the Sisters expressed concern over the fact that I cried alot. One even said... " I don't understand why you keep crying, you'll see him again in the new system"....... UGH... B*ll Sh*t.
That Sister had never been married, or come anywhere close to losing two husbands in death. Neither she, nor any of the rest of them had any idea of the impact that situation had on me.
I think they are ~ NUTS ~ when it comes to dealing with death... so cold...!! I never was that way...

Name something that JWs believe in that isn't in the Bible

my favorites are:.

"paradise earth": not in the bible.

"great crowd" of "other sheep" - two unrelated texts... put them together, and voila!, you just changed the destiny of millions!.

Yes, I'm definitely a female...
I was just responding to your initial post....
I can't help it if I think men look sexy when they are sleeping, it's the only time they are still long enough to really look at them.

Edited to add :
Thanks for explanation, Min... that was funny..!!

What JW teaching did you find hardest to defend??
by karter in

for me it was that god is killing billions of people just to prove a point.

what about you?
Casper

Purpleplus,
Great post...!!! I totally agree with your thoughts.
He then asked if my reasons were scriptural or "because they say so". After that I knew I was a slave to the borg and contemplated my exit.
"Exactly"....

I have a wierd take on praying, what about you?...
by Hecklerboy in
1. jw
2. friends
everytime i talk to someone about praying they say that they pray all the time.

talk to god whenever they can.

well i'm just the opposite.
Casper

Heckler,
Sounds like you found a system that works for you...
Personally, I stopped praying 10 years ago when I left the org. We were all told that our prayers didn't go any farther than the ceiling, if we didn't worship Jehovah so I thought, what's the point.
There are times tho... that I really feel a need to beg someone for help, or want to express gratitude or appreciation for the beauty around me.
I am still searching for that "Someone or Something".

I had a hard time with all of it at the doors, mainly because I'd didn't really buy all of it myself.

Hellfire was esp. hard to defend, since most people in this area totally believe in it.
