Went to one this year. The elder had the balls to hold out "everlasting life" for the faithful. Evidently the deceased, as well as "millions now living" missed the boat. Total cold hearted sales pitch.

Here is the funeral talk outline. VERY discraceful.
by stillstuckcruz inthis is truly terrible.
i just love the statement "instead of eulogizing the deceased, use the material in this outline to give a fine witness concerning the truth.
" in other words, utterly disregard the deceased.

Uber Dub wants to have dinner....
by outsmartthesystem inok. the good news is that my wife has eased up on the whole "talking it out with the elders" thing.
she now insists that she is doing her"own independent research with unbiased materials" on some subjects.
unbiased?

Hi Quendi; Even as an elder, I took my family out for Thanksgiving. We had a "don't ask; don't tell" policy here in NY.

Is POLYGAMY ever justifiable? I say yes, Yes, and YES!!!!!!
by Judge Dread init is in the nature of man to want to have more than one woman.. a man cannot help himself.
he was born that way.. if it was legal, men would have multiple wives, two, three, maybe ten if he could afford it.. that's all.. jdw .

Ireland Bethel up for sale
by Mattieu inhttp://www.wicklowpeople.ie/news/jehovahs-witnesses-hq-goes-on-market-2910987.html.
whenever a new branch or k/hall is built, its always proof that supposedly j is blessing his people and speeding up the work.
does that mean when they have to close a bethel branch it means he is pissed off with "his people"????.

Let's buy it & turn it into a brewery. I'm sure the Irish need another one.

What is it with OBVES that you give him/her the time of day ?
by smiddy ini am at a loss as to understanding why some people give so much time and energy to responding to people like obves on this board ,,,,,,,,and of course he`s not the only one , ,,,,,,,,,why do we give these guys the platform to espouse their dribble ?
on this site ?
it is an exjw site is it not,?

Probably because we could never question our cult leaders, we find being able to do so here a refreshing change. Even those with extreme views are allowed to air them here. Do I believe OBVES? No. Would I defend his right to express himself here? Definitely. Go OBVES!
