WT Policy on Deceased Pet Remains
by KiddingMe inwe will be putting our beloved pet of 13 years to rest soon.
is there a wt policy, written or unwritten on what could be done with the ashes after cremation?
i assume it's basically the same for pets as with humans but i'm not real clear on what that is.

The JW policy on cremation (of humans) is that it's a personal matter, but that they should consider local community funeral customs and avoid 'stumbling' others. There is no specific 'policy' about cremating pets.

After he left for the kingdummy hall for his meeting I cut my card up and put the orginal recept, the credit recept, and my cut up card on his desk.
That sounds a bit extreme.

Awake-to-deceit:
I believe it signifies the trinity/occult
So, which is it?
Over a billion people nominally believe in the 'Trinity', so it's hardly a secret or 'occult'. But JWs don't believe in the 'Trinity', so it would be rather pointless for them to 'covertly' suggest otherwise.
It's just a logo for a magazine segment that touches on science (rather poorly). Move along. Nothing to see here.

Awake-to-deceit:
I believe it signifies the trinity/occult, I don't know how long the term 'stylised atom' has been around, I'm pretty sure Borromean Rings pre-date this modern application and that they can have multiple forms of parametrization.
You're welcome to believe whatever you like, but there isn't some 'special' reference to the 'Trinity' (or the 'occult') every time there happens to be three of something. The three dots and rings represent the three electrons of a lithium atom and their associated orbits, as depicted in the Rutherford model.
"Stylised atom" is not a 'special term'. Stylised means what it means, and atom means what it means. Atoms are too small to actually see, so all depictions of atoms are technically stylised, but in this case it is stylised in a manner similar to many logos and other insignia to convey a concept in a non-technical manner. The lithium atom is frequently used to represent atoms in this way because it is more readily identifiable as an atom than simpler hydrogen (one ring) or helium (two rings) representations, without being unduly complex.
Borromean rings by definition are interlinked in such a way that all three rings are linked, but removing any one ring results in two remaining unlinked rings.

Which issue of Awake! are you talking about??
If you're referring to the semi-regular Was it Designed? item, it's a stylised atom as an analog for the concept of design. It most closely resembles a lithium atom.
In any case, they aren't Borromean rings, which by definition interlink in a particular way. There is insufficient detail in the stylised image to represent the interlinks required for Borromean rings.

KariOtt:
Yes to keep the peace I don't celebrate any holidays anymore.
He decided to give up those celebrations. There's no reason you should. You have as much right to your beliefs (or lack of belief) as he has to his. Why not go to other family or friends to celebrate your birthday, Christmas, etc? It might be easier to keep the peace by not having those celebrations at your own home, but there's no reason at all why you should give them up altogether if you don't want to.
Thats why I purchased my cross for myself.
What was his actual reaction to you buying the piece of jewellery? Outraged? Mildly disappointed?
