I suspect there might be a 'natural disaster' involved here somewhere . . . before and after shots maybe?
i recieved the news today that an aquantance who was studying and attending meetings committed suicide today.
he leaves behind a terminaly ill wife and teenage children.. my best mate (non jw) who employs this man from time to time and was very fond of him is in total shock.. he would like to know what possible funeral he may have and if he himself would be welcome to attend as a non jw.. i have passed on the gist of what i found in the cd lib but would like to know any real world situations and how they have been handled by local jw's.. oz.
Yeah . . . and if you ain't already got "real problems" (like this poor guy) . . . they'll soon fix you up with a set.
My heart bleeds for this guy's family . . . do you know if they were taking "the ride" with him Oz?
a husband and his blond wife are driving in town when the come up to a stop light and stop behind a truck, "wow!
" the wife yells..
" the husband asks back.. "those people in front of us are a long way from home!
A zookeeper was transporting a crate of monkeys to a zoo in a nearby city when his truck broke down.
A blonde pulled up and offered to help.
"I can fix the truck" said the driver . . . "but it may take a while . . . these monkeys are getting really stressed . . . would you take them to the zoo for me?"
"No problem" said the blond . . . and off she went.
The zookeeper got his truck going and drove into town. He couldn't believe his eyes when he saw the blonde walking them down the main street!
"What the hell's going on" he cried . . . "I thought I asked you to take then to the zoo?"
"Oh we've been to the zoo" the blonde replied . . . "but they're still a bit stressed so we're going to the movies now"

I will be suprised if the local BOE goes anywhere near it Oz
I knew an elderly brother whose wife died from complications from diabetes (she was housebound for many years). Because she wasn't baptised he had to make his own arrangements. In the end I conducted a graveside service using the Soc outline (and all the Elders turned up).
Soon after that my 17 year old B Student suicided just prior to baptism (his parents were JW's in another town) and they wouldn't go near that either. They don't like the association with suicide.
But if it is a JW funeral, your friend will be welcome. I just doubt that will happen.
Hope this helps.
PS This is yet another very tragic story!
is there anything new since sunday?

Nobody's talking huh?
