i know that this is a morbid topic, but i often wonder what kind of funeral that i should have.
i mean, i'm not associated with any religion.
i don't want a preacher there speaking about the afterlife or trying to recruit followers.
Mine is planned and spelled out in my will....
I did 26+ years in Law Enforcement and so I will have the Flag Draped Box, Taps, Firing Team, Folded Flag for my wife, etc....but straying from the strictly traditional...there will also be funny stories (I'm a lot of laughs if you know me) and a barbershop quarter (I sing) singing an old Civil War Hymn called "Vacant Chair". I love the old hymn...and I use a wheelchair so it is sort of a pun...vacant chair..get it ? LOL

how many jw's visit this site and remain 'in good standing' in the 'christian (their word not mine) congregation of jehovah's witnesses after six months of perusing various topics?.
i didn't, how about you?
I got out in the late 80's....joined JWD in 02.
i don't mean by the r&f dubs, but loved ones and friends?
and do you regret leaving the organization because of this?.
i am being shunned by twin daughters.
Count me among the shunned....Mother & Father are still in...Grandparents and Great Grandmother were in but all dead now....

my thoughts are with you on your first birthday as a free person.

Happy Birthday Richie !

this is in reference to the thread about dubs not having pets.
although, not a rule from the borg there are ones who would say you should not have pets.
can you think of other silly made-up rules that someone tried to impose on you?
The re-release of the movie "The Shaggy Dog" brought back a silly memory...
I was not allowed to watch the original when it came out in my childhood...because it was magical and was a secret attempt to make people believe in evolution ! LOL
Just because you're paranoid, doesn't mean they're not out to get you ! LOL
after looking at one of the topics on here about which jw event you disliked the most, it got me to thinking.
i think that because of assemblies and conventions, i still hate to travel.
as a kid just about the only time i ever went anywhere, it was to go to an assembly or convention.
I have to travel all over the USA for my business and, while I hate being away from my wife and kids, I love to travel.
We just got a MAJOR contract that will take us to New York City and Atlanta, GA. about every 3 month and I can't wait to get to know those cities better.
I usally take a few trips for work and learn the place and then return with the family to show them around for a real vacation.
