  Funerals of Disfellowshipped ones.

  by exwhyzee in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  some time ago someone posted some information here from some of the wt literature (possibly questions from the readers) that shows it would be inappropriate for a jw to attend the funreal of a disfellowshipped person.

  when our son was undergoing cancer treatment while disfellowshipped we realized that if he didn't make it, we'd be on our own to bury him.

  thankfully he survived but it was this realization and the way the family and friends abandoned us during our darkest hour that started our exit from the religion and eventually sent us packing for good.

  I don't want my mother at my funeral. If you can't talk to me now, don't see me off to the afterlife.

  "The Calendar of Jehovah God"

  by cabasilas in

  2. beliefs

  1935 saw the brief attempt by jehovah's witnesses to adopt a new calendar freed from any connection to other religions or with names derived from paganism.

  the 1935 yearbook published without much explanation a chart showing "jehovah's year of ransom 1903.

  " the yearbook said: "a series of articles in explanation will appear in the golden age.

  Were You Ever Comfortable Going From House To House?

  by minimus in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  because i was raised a witness, i don't think i was "uncomfortable" knocking on strangers' doors.

  (weirdo).. but as i got older, i simply didn't want to bother anyone so i was at there door for no more than 30 seconds.

  at the end i hated being there..

  Never liked it at all. I'm an introvert and the worst thing you can do is force me to talk to people.

  in order of preference

  1. Funeral pyre with hubs, children, & close friends & my fav brother. I've instructed hubs not to tell mother and sister and jw brother of my demise. If I'm not good enough for them to talk to me while living, I don't want them to see me off. Unfortunately, the pyre may be illegal here.

  2. Natural burial as in no embalming. My body will be wrapped in (organic) cotton.

  3. Donate to forensic body farm. Almost as good a natural burial.

  I don't want an autopsy. I don't the memorial to be solemn.

  I don't remember my baptismal questions saying anything about money..oh wait..

  Do you understand that your dedication and baptism identify you as one of Jehovah's Witnesses in association with God's spirit-directed organization?

  The video reminds me of a televangelizer asking people to donate to God.

  Disturbing new YouTube video showing Anthony Morris's approach to teenage baptism

  by cedars in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  if anyone was under the illusion that all baptized jw children become dedicated solely of their own volition, then hopefully this new video should be a wake-up call.. .

  (unfortunately, due to the soundtrack i've chosen, this video is apparently banned in germany.

  comparing getting baptized to getting a driver's license --- let's see:

  -no one gets pressured by parents to get driver's license. if anything, quite the opposite. no one wants sky-high insurance rates

  -one does not need parental permission to get baptized. if both parents are worldly, Johnny Teenager can get baptized on his own and even against his parents' wishes

  -parents must give permission for driver's license and until kid is legal adult, parents can revoke permission

  -everyone must get learner's permit, go to driving school, and pass driving test to get DL.

  -minor drivers get provisional DL, a license with certain restrictions

  -once you're baptized, there is no trial period

  -if you don't wanna drive anymore, you don't. you are not ostracized by society for not renewing your DL

  -if you don't wanna be JW anymore, kiss your social life and sanity goodbye

  -there are driving manuals which clearly state the laws of your locale (For example, did you know that by having a DL, you cannot refuse to take a sobriety test) and any penalties. You can find these rules online on your state's website.

  I'm sure there more.

  I've watched so many "demonic" movies. I even watch The Ghost Whisperer from time to time. Oh, but my favorite show is Supernatural. I'm thinking about getting that pentagram tat the Winchesters have.

  I really liked that the bride showed off her tat. BTW, was it a pagan wedding? I ask because bride & groom look very nature-y
