Eaton RIP means to me being laid to rest. In the peace court. How about an upright burial?
Sounds good to me

In case anyone ( or anyone you know) is strapped for cash or disagrees with expensive funerals, here is some information about "direct cremation". It doesn't mean you don't get to celebrate the persons death in the way they wish, it just means cutting out the major costs. Once you have the persons ashes you can really be creative, individual and personalize the celebration of their life.
Again, " Ask a Mortician" explains:

I've thought of it a lot. There are so many options, especially in the states.
Whatever you do don't embalm it's so bad for the environment. Nasty chemicals. Have a natural burial where you help the soil. It's also much cheaper. Lots of undertaker don't tell the truth and over charge. I love this lady who is a qualified mortician and does affordable natural burials. She's very honest about all aspects of the funeral industry - as well as gorgeous and super entertaining!

Welcome!
Amazing story! I’d love to hear more about your families experience as refugees. Was your Dad a jw when he was an activist or did he become one after defending them in your country of origin?
GetMeOutofhere I loved your post; too ;)

I like that Sparky, who is he? Never heard of him, sounds like a wise dude. Interesting.
Anyway, Van, you meant well! As did the JW if we're being honest. Just because the Org is hypocritical doesn't mean most JWs are. I find the most effective method is to drop one, or at most two, thoughts/questions/statements of fact. That way they don't get overwhelmed & can remember what you've said later on when they calm down.

The International convention in Warsaw is coming soon
by FadeToBlack ini took my wife to the airport today to pick up a 'delegate' from the us.
on the way, she was almost crying with joy when she read that jw's will have free public transportation if they wear their lapel badge and have matching id.
jah provides!

The truth is JWs look forward to International conventions for the Extra-curriculars - the fun and games, sight-seeing, evenings out and 'shows' they get to rehearse and organize, let alone watch.
Watchtowers 'spiritual food' is a snore-fest they have to tolerate in order to enjoy the good stuff. The Org allows all this razzamatazz because it's probably well aware dubs wouldn't fork out a fortune just to listen to a Watchtower-study in another language.

This is a great interview with a Polish exjw who talks about the loss of Polish JWs and the possible reasons for this.
10,000 Polish JWs have left the Org in the last few years. Some have claimed they have moved to the UK but the numbers of UK JWs haven't increased during the same period. In fact they have slightly declined. Which poses the question, where have the British JWs gone if the Polish JWs are all in the UK?
Oh boy! Anyway, it's worth a listen guys!https://youtu.be/-8AsKzXlMF8
