but what happens when it comes to family inheritance do they get treated fairly or do they get a lesser share or in extreme cases perhaps nothing at all?

and would jw parents that have no children left in the wts choose to give everything to the org?

Englishman

No person is under any obligation to leave their assets to anyone, including their children, so "fairness" does not come in to it. It is not my "right".

Nonetheless, it is normal practise for a parent to leave any money he may have to his offspring. The WT do get right in there for a slice and will get a much bigger slice if the child has been disfellowshipped.

I wonder if losing out in a will because of religious prejudice is contestable? Particularly if the beneficiary is the very same org that instigated the DF'ing and benefitted as a result of this?

i love it!.

love the take off, love the in-flight meal -yum!

- love the landing.

Englishman

Landing in Funchal is great fun. Ultra-short runway, the pilot comes over the tannoy to tell you he's been especially trained to land here and to expect lots of bumps, bangs and heavy braking. Then he put's on the hand brake before he's even touched the ground..

Look..just like an aircraft carrier.

Inheritance and Ex JW children

by greendawn in

we all know how disfellowshipped or disassociated children get treated by their jw parents, that they are totally shunned.

but what happens when it comes to family inheritance do they get treated fairly or do they get a lesser share or in extreme cases perhaps nothing at all?

and would jw parents that have no children left in the wts choose to give everything to the org?

Englishman

My parents had several inheritances left to them.

Each time, my Dad would give up work and go pioneering until the money ran out. Or he'd sell up and go and serve Where the need was great.

Now, my mum has willed most of her stuff to the WT and to the local KH. ..Including all of her WT bound volumes. I might just keep the one that majors on 1975...

Love the take off, love the in-flight meal -YUM! - love the landing. Especially the landing. That sensation that the plane is about to plummet like a stone as it yaws from side to side as the speed bleeds away. Then..Kabumph! Then reverse thrust that has you hanging forward in your seat belt. Brilliant!

Do you like to fly?

Or do you hate it?

Wife's weight problem

by dangel in

i amlooking for advice.

before getting married, my wife was slim and took care of herself.

after the wedding however, she started to eat much more and not exercise.

Englishman

If these guys are so concerned about how heavy their wives are, why don't they take over the grocery shopping and the cooking?

Then they'll only have themselves to blame if she doesn't come down to their preferred weight.
