i just found out that a husband of an old friend committed a suicide and i was wondering if there are any letters to elders or any wts rules concerning funerals for those who committed suicide.
i've looked in the elders book and letters to boe index and didn't find anything.
some posts here say they can have the funeral at the kh and some here said they couldn't hold it there because suicide was involved.
I think its up to the body of elders.
Sadly I knew 2 guys who commited suicide one had a funeral in the hall the other did not. Both were MS.
my priorities in my life have recently changed fundamentally.
i have always, deep down, felt a yearning for the circus.
my teachers growing up would always catch me doodling picutres of the circus with me in them being a jolly circus laborer.
this seems like a literary device by a later author added to the story of jesus.. matthew 27:19: while pilate was sitting in the judgment hall, his wife sent him a message: "have nothing to do with that innocent man, because in a dream last night, i suffered much on account of him.".
how would any apostle or follower of jesus know the contents of a private letter written to pontius pilate by his wife?.
how many followers of jesus were in the same room with jesus and pilate?
Not to thread jack but Tec how much speculation does it take before the smell test is failed?
Like the link I posted and the other discussion on the book of Genesis, the bible continues to have 'literary devices' as terry put it that just falls out of line with common sense.
Back to topic if indeed pilates wife wrote such a letter Why did he ignore her? If john was in the room (tho I believe you mean courtyard) how could he know about a letter and its contents? If pilate discussed the letter he must not have thought much of his wifes premenition.

I mentioned his wife in this post, but never thought about how the gospel writers would be privy to this info good point.
so did the 'da society' give these dub internet savvies permission to start a forum?
because last i checked, the ole boys in their oversized brooklyn bunker didn't want their members on the internet unless it was to view their own official websites.
i thought maybe it was an apostate forum until i read their long winded, typically condescending jdub style membership guidelines:.
Thing is...How long can a forum thats basically an extention of the KH last?
Think about it how viable can a message board be were you just spout how great the WT study was *bleech* the fact your following the WT$orders to pioneer for april *bleech* and how you look forward to the end of this wicked system (and the death of Billions.0
Even when I was a believing dub that shyt got old with me. And if it does take on the traits of a KH how long before clicks develope and the same problems dubs have with people in the hall manifest itself online.
Actually these idiots online are probably the same ones no one will speek to in the kingdumb halls due to their piety and overall bitch-assed-ness.
i really enjoy these guys' videos.

I'm not really a big ABBA fan...Dead!
well, in my japanese forum, i often introduce weekly study articles to everybody, and everybody comments freely.. also in this forum, i'd like to do the same thing every week.. (if you wish, i would also post the schedule of other meetings every week.).
in my case, i do unsparing criticism mostly.. .
march 28 - april 3. the watchtower, january 15, 2011, study article 5.
IDK if you've seen Blondies comments you will not hear at WT threads. Normally thats where folks typically comment on the weekly WT lesson...If they can stomach it.
