Makes you wonder why they are grasping after money in the worldy courts when armageddon is so close. Pathetic hypocrites.
He did get them to attend his funeral though, which is something, I suppose.
An non-JW relative of mine died recently, and some of the JW family showed up at the funeral. They all stayed outside on the footpath and didn't go into the church. Everyone was talking afterwards, about how wierd, rude and arrogant those JWs were. Standing outside the church and missing the entire service. There were some who were highly offended at their actions.

An article in the Sydney Morning Herald:
"From beyond the grave, father-of-four Patrick Carroll continued a five-decade crusade to steer his children away from being active Jehovah's Witnesses and into Catholicism.
Mr Carroll wrote into his will that his adult children were not to receive any inheritance unless they met two conditions: attend his funeral and become Catholics within three months of his death.
Mr Carroll died in April 2012. His children attended the funeral but they did not become Catholics and challenged the condition in the NSW Supreme Court in a bid to still receive their share of his estate.
But Justice Francois Kunc last week ruled that Mr Carroll was entitled to place such conditions on his will.
The court heard that Mr Carroll's motivation was not so much about imposing his own beliefs but rather the fact he never approved of his children becoming Jehovah's Witness.
The court heard that Mr Carroll did not raise his children as Catholics, neither he or they had attended church services when they were young and he did not enroll them in Catholic schools.
But when he split from their mother Lillian in 1959 she became a Jehovah's Witness and over the next decade the couple's four children, Robyn, Paulene, Anthony and Susan, were baptised as Jehovah's Witnesses.
Mr Carroll never approved of "their adherence to that faith", the court heard.
"[Lillian's] conversion to that faith enraged Mr Carroll, who for the rest of his life continued to express his very strong objections to Lillian's and the children's member of that faith," Justice Kunc said in his judgement.
The court was told that all four of his children remain active members of their congregation.
In his will, written in December 2011, four months before he died, Mr Carroll left more than a third of his estate to his four children "dependent upon them becoming baptised into the Catholic Church within a period of three months from the date of my death and such gifts are also subject to and dependent my children attending my funeral."
Mr Carroll's step-daughter and executor of his will, Carolyn Hickin, challenged that condition in court saying those conditions were vague.
But Justice Kunc disagreed, saying the conditions, and in particular the requirement the children become baptised into the Catholic Church were "not uncertain".
He ordered that the children's share of his estate be divided among the other 13 beneficiaries of Mr Carroll's will."

Jesus has very neat hair. And a very tidy beard.
He is also very white.
He looks like a hipster named Trent, draped in a tablecloth.

Smiddy: educate yourself before making a lot of ridiculous statements.

I lived in Wellington for nearly a year, finishing off my Masters.
I loved it. Wellington is really cool. And windy. And also hilly.

Being a Witness results in selfish and self centered people!
by stuckinarut2 ini have noticed that many witnesses are very self centered and selfish people as a result of "leaving everything in god's hands to correct".
what i mean is, because "the kingdom will fix poverty, the homeless, poor, underpriveleged, etc...." it means they can just pass by those in need, or fulfill their natural human desire to help (if they have it) by just giving literature!.
so, just preach to those in need, and then you can feel good and smug about yourself!.

What you are really trying to say, stuck, is that JWs are arseholes.
And I totally agree. Selfish, self-centered arseholes who care for nothing except themselves, aptly describes adherents to this cult.

In Death lies Glory
by BluePill2 ini was alone at the new branch construction site in ticuantepe (nicaragua).
everybody had taken off for a weekend assembly in the capital and it was my turn to have watchman duty and guard the site.
we had dogs and i only had to walk around the perimeters and check all the gates and entrances.. suddenly a young boy appeared at the main gate, breathless and visibly nervous.

The more scarce something is the more valuable to you. Is that one of the reasons why Jehovahs Witnesses and many other Religions treat Life so cheaply and inconsiderate? As something that you can throw away, waste and use without concern?
Yes I agree. That is a very insightful commentary on jw philosophy. That is why they are willing to throw away the one chance they have fora life filled with true happiness surrounded by family and true friends.
Thanks for this post bluepill2.
