  Thoughts on JW funerals

  by Syme in

  i recently had the sad opportunity to attend 2 jw funerals.

  the first was a few months ago and the second today.

  the first was my grandfather's and the second of an old friend back from my jw days.

  The JWS use the death of people as a exploitation vehicle to promote their resurrection doctrine and their religion as a whole.
  

  Yes they talk a little about the individual and their service to Jehovah, talks, participation in the congregation so forth but I think they go overboard.

  Most JWS funerals are attended by a portion of non JWS and the JWS intentionally use these events to lure people to the organization, kind of propaganda in action.
  

  JWS funerals are designed and outlined by the WTS with a specific purpose in mind .

  I think it would be better to talk a bit more of about the person by people who knew them and perhaps a little bit at the end about the resurrection doctrine.

  If The Jehovah's Witnesses Stole Your Past...Don't Let Them Steal Your Future!

  yes, many here have lost many years of life due to being infected by this cult like religion.

  for many it is very hard to let go of that life and those wasted years.. of course people need time to heal and this web site is a great place to do that, swap war stories and commiserate.. i was in for over 50 years.

  so of course it will be with me for the rest of my life.

  I think its important to realize or reflect what was good about the organization.

  There were set of rules of behavior and conduct that were enforced by elders and the guidelines set by the top leaders of the Org. that obviously had some practical goodness to them.
  

  On the other hand some were actually quite damaging such as deaths for refusing a blood transfusion, the breaking up of families, to mention a couple.

  Not everything outside the Org. is evil.

  In a matter of fact there is evil situated in most religious organizations if you closely enough.
  

  We should be now able to accept the fact that people can make their way in life in a wholesome way without relgoius indoctrination, yes it is possible.

  I've been trying ever since I left, how about you ?

  Since this monument Pyramid was created and guided by Jehovah in its size and structure, does that mean Jehovah is pagan too ?

  That would make the Egyptian religion the correct religion chosen by god.

  I think JWS should wear a pyramid of some kind on their heads just to make sure they are pleasing Jehovah.

  Ignorance and a zeal for literature publishing is just what the Watchtower has been involved in since its early beginning.

  Still that way if you ask me.

  I wonder why the GB men dont hand out rules and counseling about obesity ?

  All of the GB men look overly obese, now there's a counseling that would really save a few lives.

  Focus on what you can do for yourself now, and for others around you

  Spot on Simon

  Turn the page and close it up, start writing something new and positive for yourself.

  "Today is the first day of the rest of your life"

  A new life awaits us all.

  Yes that's right Fadeaway,

  A hair cut quite common in the 1930's could get you in trouble down at the Kingdom Hall today.

  I find it ironic that the guy who started this watch what you wear and appear like (GB member A Morris) is quite often seen giving talks wearing flamboyant high class expensive suits.
