The WT vultures will NOT feed on my carcass!

by expatbrit in

this is sort of a connected subject to englishman's prior post.

it's a difficult subject, so i'm sorry if it upsets anyone.

but it's been on my mind for a few weeks.. i'm sure that for all of us wt "survivors" (thanks for that term, esmeralda), the idea of our funeral being used as a propagandistic sales pitch for the wt is repugnant.. but, for those of us whose family are still jw's, it's a very real possibility.

Expie,

But, for those of us whose family are still JW's, it's a very real possibility. If I were to die tomorrow, I am sure my family would insist upon the JW formulaic services, even if they knew I did not want to go out that way. It makes me sick to think of it.

Over six months ago I sat down with my attorney and "got my affairs in order." I've named a close friend as executor to my estate, made the funeral arrangements(prepaid), bought the cemetery plot, headstone-even wrote my own talk and selected the person who will give
it(including one alternate). I've made arrangements for a post funeral
meal/party to be held at my favorite restaurant. I know this all might
sound morbid for someone who was 25 years old at the time but I don't think it's wrong to want a good send off. I selected the music and readings I want,that meant something to me during my life. Being a business owner, upon my death, that portion of my estate goes to my partners. I've made some provisions for my family, I hope they're content with that. It's more than I could ever expect from them. I want nothing to go to the WTS, if they choose to, it's out of their own stupidity.

Peace,
Seven
The cost of making these arrangements is well worth the peace of mind.

sorry all you uk guys and gals who taped eastenders, but i couldn't resist it.. must be the badness in me i guess...... englishman.

Englishman, I think we're a few years behind. Tiffany and Cindy are still alive and Phil and Kathy are still married but living apart. Phil is such a tool. Are there any good websites that have archives of old episodes?

Should I Respect Mums Wishes?

by Englishman in

jw
friends

my jw mum has chosen not to write a will.

as she has very little in the way of worldly goods, she has asked my brother and i to sell her possesions when the time comes, and give the money to "the congregation".

presumably the jw`s will decide suddenly that it`s now ok to talk to us df'd ones.. also, my mum has asked me to pack up all her 100's of wt books for presentation to the local congregation library.. now, i have to tell you that these books include the original watchtower and awake volumes.

Seven

Hi EM, I know you want to honor your Mum's last wishes, but is there any chance you might borrow a few of these volumes now? Just a thought.

Is it possible to become a Jehovah's Witness by reading the Bible alone?

by agent2863 in

"don't you think it would surely be impossible for a person to become a jehovah's witness by reading the bible alone?

can someone really come to believe jehovah's witness doctrine by reading the bible only?

for example, if you were to have only read the bible, with no watchtower study aids, do you think that you would have come to the conclusion that heaven closed its doors in 1935, or that jesus is really the archangel micheal?

Patio, At your leisure cruise the following sites:
* http://www.talkorigins.org Simon provided this link last year. It's a good one concerning evolution.
* http://www.bibles.net Very good Bible reference materail here, ancient writings, etc. All translations.
