My wife and I went to a non-witness wedding a couple of weeks ago with my witness and elder brother-in-law and his family. Lots of booze and dancing till late at night.
Have another wedding at the end the month, this time a witness wedding - and I am still invited (despite being a congragtional outcast, though not df'ed od da'ed). Interestlingly, my brother-in-law is not invited even though he was a former friend of the family as he was on a fiasco of a judicial committee involving the bride's mother, which ended up with the disfellowshipping decision being thrown out on appeal.
There will be elders there, I am sure. But whilst my brother-in-law let his hair down at the non-JW wedding I am sure that this will be a very sober affair.

What funeral will you have?
by Gilberto inthere has been a couple of threads about death just lately and it got me thinking about what funeral i would have.
i hope it won't be for many years yet though.. when you are a dub it would have just happened.. when i was fading i would have just accepted that it would have been what my wife wanted.
i would have also had to have a dub funeral for her.

I spoke to my JW wife a few months ago about this subject, and guess what?
She told me that she wants to be cremated and her ashes scattered on the Yammuna or Ganges in India. I think I will go for the same myself.

Can't add much more to garybuss's advice. Perhaps, make as many friends as you can and as fewer enemies. Value your family, especially your kids - they grow up too fast.

Olympic wrestler and actor who became the last of the men who struck the symbolic J. Arthur Rank movie gong has died aged 80.
While Ken Richmond was faking the striking of the gong on screen, the real noise came from a percussionist called James Blades hitting a tam tam which was a mere two feet in diameter.
At 6ft 2in (1.9 m) and 19 stone (120 kg), Richmond was well-suited to his chosen sport of wrestling. He won a bronze medal in the freestyle heavyweight category in the 1952 Olympics in Helsinki.
Chris Saunders discusses the varied interests of his close friend Kenneth Richmond with Matthew Bannister.
Kenneth Richmond was born on July 10 th 1926. He died on August 3rd 2006. -

Who are these campaigns for?
Seems to me they are for drumming up support from the rank and file rather being a genuine attempt to put a message out to the public.

Another recent read:
A Suitable Boy by Vikram Seth
A huge novel of over 1500 pages. Set in India in the early 1950s, it is a bit of an Indian soap opera. It is useful if you have a basic knowledge of Hindi words. There is a liberal scattering of Hindi terms, e.g. nimbu pani (lemon water), but there is no glossary. -

doinmypart - read Time Traveller's wife lasat year. Obviously not a good JW -"if there was an Olympics for oral sex, she would be a champion" - I am sure the quote is quite right but you get the drift.
I have read Dan Brown's Da Vinci Code - what a crap writer - I only wish I could do better myself and make a fortune.

diamondblue1974 - hey man I just bought Human Traces yesterday. Still on chapter one!
I read Birdsong last year - an excellent novel describing the hell of the trenches in the first world war. Quite sad really.
