  Have you made arrangements for your civil funeral?

  by digderidoo in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  it may sound morbid, but have you?.

  it appears that the funeral of a disfellowshipped person would be, that an elder if he feels that there may be some repentence on the behalf of the person that they would give a funeral, but not at the kingdom hall.. this leads me to think what would i want?

  i certainly wouldn't want an elder to give a talk at my funeral.

  I want a funeral where people talk about memories of me as a person, not so they can use it as a springboard to recruit cult members.

  Should Marijuana Possession Be Decriminalized If Under An Ounce?

  by minimus in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  in massachusetts, possession of pot, if under an ounce will only get you a fine, under a new law.. some say this will send the wrong message about illegal drug use.

  (personally, i don't imbibe but i know many that do).

  so, do you think allowing this law to pass will bring about more illegal drug use?.

  Marijuana should be treated like alcohol. Use of it in the privacy of your home should be fine but working or driving under the influence should be against the law. You'd be pretty easy to spot, too, being all paranoid for driving 2 miles an hour down the highway. So I've heard.

  What exactly was the proper food at the proper time?

  by Hoping4Change in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  forgetting (and forgiving for the sake of discussion) all of the changes, mistakes and errors between the teachings from the late 1800's to 1920 by the bible students, what exactly was the "proper food" being dispensed during the "proper time" when jesus supposedly made his choice of this group of people to be the sole harbringers of truth?

  i am assuming all of those changes/mistakes/errors, of course were not proper food, so what were the things being taught during jesus's selection that led him to select the bible students?

  is there anything truly unique (and correct/accurate/proper) that can be claimed by the bible students during that time period that could warrant jesus' choice?.

  "What they actually teach is that after the original person dies a NEW body is created and impressed with the memories and personality of the original that were kept in Jehovah's memory. This NEW body with old memories and personality will wake up in the paradise Earth.

  The original person (body) is still dead and wakes up to nothing!"

  VM44 I had this exact discussion on this subject with another dub when I was a teenager. I don't think most adult dubs actually think about this, and if you tried to explain it to them I don't think they'd get what you're driving at. But I read a lot of science fiction as a teen and I think that helped me think these things through a little more. It makes you appreciate how necessary it is to have an immortal soul.

  Indoctrination of children into the Watchtower Society

  by Homerovah the Almighty in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  pulling off from another thread, the topic of children and the watchtower comes into high lighted consideration,.

  there is little doubt on the enormous psychological effects the wts's mental indoctrination has in the developmental growth of children.. i personally went through this myself as you folks as well, so i can relate to the experience.. goaling people to become servitude slaves for the needs of the society in support of both their identity and financial needs is in itself disturbing.. plying the same tactics on to impressionable children and schooling them into being door to door publishers is nothing more but disgraceful.

  and borders on criminal.

  I couldn't agree with you more Homerovah. I too was brainwashed from an early age. Now that I have a child of my own I am determined not to put her through the same things. Any advice on how to do this as I am surrounded by dub relatives is appreciated.
