I wonder if someone has a WT quote to back JWoods up about the "rather expensive funeral"
No quote from here, but I recall that the idea was that an ordinary jew would not have been able to afford a private cave-tomb and all the fixings.
At the same time, the JWs were adamant about cautioning people against creating elaborate funerals for themselves.
But just think of the money they must be saving on those costly Brazilian bikini waxes -
have you ever thought about having your car blessed by a priest?
it is cheper than insurance.... it is very popular in russia.
priests are ready to bless your car against an accident (10 us dollars) and for a special extra fee you can also have an anti-theft blessing.
If your car were demonized, would it spit out green antifreeze and spin around and around while over-revving its own engine?

Wonder what Martin Luther King (the original, not the civil rights activist) would have thought of this?
it is a single 8.5 x 11 color page that opens with this drivel: how can you survive the end of the world?
--- you are warmly invited to come and listen to the answer.... there is a typical watchtower picture of zombie-like survivors coming out of a dark armageddon storm cloud with lightning and thunder, and walking into a spring field of sunshine and flowers.. on the back is quoted mark 13:37 - "keep on the watch".
(said near 2000 years ago, but continuing on) - four bulletins: stay awake as christian families / know that the end is near / imitate jesus' example of watchfulness / keep in expectation, watching for jehovah's day.. at the bottom is a generic invitation to mail in what is a little coupon for a bible study to the local branch office (no local contact information is given) with entries for such places as trinidad/tobago, ghana, nigeria, curacao, etc.
One side note though, as I studied that cover art...I guess women in pants won't be able to survive the end of the world...
Yeah, but who would want to spend eternity with Hillary Clinton anyway?
you gotta be kidding me!
this is one of the weirdest things they've come out with.. .

Just walk towards the light...
a question here mainly for ex-elders etc , though all input would be helpful.. a letter that i wrote some time ago confidentially to an elder regarding the usual issues about the gb etc has come into the hands of a couple of members of the congregation who are regarding it a prime facie evidence that i am an apostate.
though the letter isn't especially incriminating as such , it does flag up several mistakes that the wtbts has made.
the brother has described me as "verging on apostate.".
Loyalty presents particular challenges to elders. One of these challenges is the matter of confidentiality. A member of a congregation may confide in an elder. Loyalty to that one will keep the elder from violating the principle of confidentiality. He will heed the counsel at Proverbs 25:9: “Do not reveal the confidential talk of another.” That means not even to his own wife.
Blondie is "legally" correct...but in practice this kind of confidentiality only extends to child molesters and embezzlers of the old and sick.
Apostates need not expect any quarter of confidentiality.
