  Jw's and funerals

  by One true Jesus Freak in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  i have a thoughtful question.

  when a jw dies and there is a funeral or memorial for them, just how much of that person is 'remembered" or talked about?

  do they just have a funeral service for them, or do they turn the memorial into a wt study?

  So they get cremated, so no living person can visit their "final resting spot" No later generation or family or friends will ever know or be able to see the grave. Maybe it is cheaper, but that still is sad. Unless that is what the person wanted themselves.

  And as for a brief intro and that is all? That is sick and sad. I've gone to many funerals (normal ones) and all they talk is about the person, their life and what they were all about. Church didn't even come up.

  It's just sad that JW's are not recognized once they are gone. I've gone to one JW funeral and honestly I do not remember what happend. I really do not remember how much of the person was said. As I am older now and able to understand what is going I am curious as to what goes on behind those doors.

  I am seriously curious about this because my friend is going to a memorial for a JW and I'd like to compare a couple of things. I'd like to see if they infact do just stick to the person, the memories and such or do they just say a few "kind words" and move on to the Study?

  I love that verse. Thank you!

  I forgot to add a few comments.

  1990 Adult Christians too can be disappointed, and this has in some cases led to spiritual disaster. Some set their hope on a date when they were sure Armageddon would come. When nothing happened on that day, they felt let down. (The Watchtower; 4/15/1990 ; p. 27)

  and

  1992 (I forgot to copy it) it was the one about questioning if the elderly generation will pass before God saves the earth from ruin... not acording to Bible Prophecy"

  okay, so in 1990 they were telling people they were hoping for too much on a date (that the WTS placed in peoples minds). Christians were disappointed and led to spiritual disaster and let down. Well if someone gave me a trip around the world and I was all packed up and ready to go and then they said "JUST KIDDING!" I would be disappointed and let down too.

  then I noticed in 1992 They were still teaching about the elderly generation not passing?

  So more hope and another let down?

  It is! And I have never been one of them. I just worry that I will be treated like one (and be shuned) just for being in a Christian bookstore?

  They may think of me as devils work or something.

  I personally love going to christian book stores. They always have great deals on books. A $25 dollar book for $5? Always a plus. The music is great too.

  However, a part of me sometimes gets an uneasy feeling when I am in there. I look around like someone is going to "catch" me. I have no reason not to be in there. I look around and sometimes buy things. Maybe I am worried that my friends or family who are in and are shopping next door will see me coming out and try to convince me with (their) reasons of why I shouldn't be in a Christian book store.

  How to get a friend out of "the truth"

  by St-Jacques in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i'm sure threads along these lines have come up dozens of times in the past, but i'm not exactly sure how one would go about searching for this topic.. i was approached about a week ago by a girl named eve, with whom i share a mutual friend.

  our friend is someone i knew when i was a witness, and is one of eve's close friends at school.

  now, over the course of high school, eve has been trying to get her friend to realize the truth about the sham that the watchtower calls a religion.

  " Tell her to compare the September Kingdom Ministry Question box to the article entitled "Do Not Be A Victim of Propaganda" in her June 22, 2000 Awake magazine. The Awake article will expose the KM question box's true purpose and thus reveal the truth about the WTS. If that fails, she will at least never forget having read it and it may pay off later in life! You can probably find a scan of the Sept. KM QB and maybe someone will have a scan of the Awake article as well on this website. BTW, comparing these two items was probably the primary thing that solidified all my doubts and got me started on my fade from that deceitful organization! " I heard this from somewhere. Does anyone have the comparision that is mentioned here?

I may not have my prayers answered at the drop of a hat, but I know soon enough I will receive some answers that I may not necessary be looking for but may need.

  Soon enough, I hope to fit in and become one of your family.

  I guess that means that I will not be leaving here. Yet.

  Hello everyone I'm writing this because I am taking a break from here for awhile. One reason is I do not feel welcomed. Everyone else just clicks with everyone else and I feel out of place. Maybe later I will come back, but until then, I will depart myself. No one was mean in anyway, just to set the record. This is such as small word I really don't feel comfortable with another user so close, being in the same library and not actually running into each other is too weird for my comfort. I read where they saw me. I have yet to see them. I'm sure they are a nice person. I'm just not ready to meet anyone yet. I hope you understand.
