Non witness comfort:
"They are in a better place".
"They have gone home".
"They are with the Lord".
"At least they aren't in pain any more".
Its the same shit as JW's only a different flavor. Not so unusual.
i was just enjoying a you tube video clip of george carlin explaining euphemisms.
one of the ones he commented about is how people try to soften the fact someone is dead by saying, "they passed away.
" noo...they died!.

i haven`t had a chance of yet to welcome all of you newly resurrected ones that joseph rutherford assured us would be arriving since 1925 .. so please feel free to make yourself known to us and if we don`t hear from any of you, what should we derive from that .?.

Since the house in San Diego was sold they've been living on the streets out of shopping carts.
i have a funeral to attend for a non jw family member and the jdub family member reminded me that i should not wear black.
for the life of me, i can't recall where this belief came from in jw teachings and i'm born in.
is there something in print or is that just a personal opinion belief?
The reality today is that people show up in jeans, short pants and flip flops. There is seldom any fixed dress code these days. Witnesses tend to have nice suits etc so they are covered but non witnesses seem to dress in a way that comes across very disrespectful.
so i have said this for years.
first it was being gay, then being a tranny and soon it would be ok to have sex with children and animals.
well the idiots on the left have started with the children.
Jeffrey Dahmer had needs too Babs. Idiot

I wonder if they'll sell off kingdom halls making older witnesses drive in the rain 30 minutes to get to meetings? and other properties to come up with more money? Wait, they've already done that. lol Jerks.
they say it will be out any day soon.
do you think the report will do major damage to trump?.
Remains to be seen. If the Republican base has no problem with him being in bed with the mob, announcing he's a sexual predator, inviting Russian oligarchs into the white house to brag he fired the head of the FBI to stop the investigation allowing only Russian media to cover the event, they won't mind anything else I think.
in response to the recent terrorist attack in new zealand their government is proposing to ban semi automatic and military style weaponry.. do you agree with this idea?.
would they be better off allowing more of these weapons instead?.
would it be better to perhaps allow more of the muslim community for example, to be armed with semi automatic guns to protect themselves at their places of worship?.
It's not my country so I have no say. Its small enough they may get it done. Its the immigrants from the US that might be armed they may have to beware of. lol
my doctor says that i need to have an operation to fuse the bones in my neck.
he said that after it's done i'll never look back!.
alcohol was my father's answer to everything.
You know what they say about German laxatives, They bring out the wurst in you
My wife has this weird OCD where she arranges the dinner plates by the year they were bought. It’s an extremely rare dish order.
Went to the park yesterday to play Frisbee with my dog. Think I'm gonna need a flatter dog.

it would appear that with this most recent confiscation the total taken from the jws by moscow amounts to more that $75 million.
(ouch!
Considering how the WT obtains money by pressure and sales, its hardly religious in nature. Its poetic justice in my opinion, though technically uncool.
i'm not sure why this memory popped up, and i was wondering if any others, when they were still active jw had dealings with a pyramid scheme involving other witnesses in the organization?
at the time it was 1993, and my husband and i were still newlyweds.
once in a while, we would attend a neighboring congregation because that was where he grew up, and some of his family was still attending there at the time.
I traveled back to DC on a trip in the late 80's and visited a congregation to take in a meeting. I knew no one there, I was being an uber dub and just had to take in a meeting. First thing when I walked in the Hall an older guy who looked extremely prim and a bit fay introduced himself and started a sales pitch for some cosmetic line. What a turd. I excused myself and sat down. Those fake business schemes were everywhere. Often they were health product related gems.
