  WT Policy on Deceased Pet Remains

  by KiddingMe in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  we will be putting our beloved pet of 13 years to rest soon.

  is there a wt policy, written or unwritten on what could be done with the ashes after cremation?

  i assume it's basically the same for pets as with humans but i'm not real clear on what that is.

  Thanks AnnOMalley and Sir82.

  i don't remember seeing any urns of humans or pets at any JW home, is this uncommon ? Or coincidence?

  Is there a WT Policy, written or unwritten on what could be done with the ashes after cremation? I assume it's basically the same for pets as with humans but I'm not real clear on what that is. Is it unusual to bring them home in an urn? If not, is it unusual to keep on a mantle or is somewhere less conspicuous more acceptable? Is ok, to bring home bury?

  some of my non JW relatives are adamant about remains having a final resting place in the ground so I assume JWs have stricter view point.

  I know I should not be concerned with the WT Policy but I know my husband will be, for the remains of his childhood pet were left at the place that did the euthanasia, so that is most likely what he will view as standard. Therefore, I need to figure out how far to press this issue and determine if there is room for compromise. I'm not even for sure what I want but will need to make decisions (and my arguments) fairly quickly.

  if there's any other suggestions for a dignified way to do this please let me know?

  Got Accosted by 2 JW Women While Pumping Gas Yesterday - Weird

  by flipper in

  absolutely weird.

  minding my own business while pumping gas - this 60 year old short jw lady with fluffed bun styled 60's hair and her 30 year old attractive 5 ' 10 inch jw lady partner came straight up to me as i'm pumping.

  they picked the wrong hombre .

  Great job flipper! You are one of the reasons I hate and rarely do street work. I personally don't like people walking up on me at the gas station and therefore feel really uncomfortable doing it to others. So I'm already uneasy, then to get someone, that flips the script on me and take issue with the org, I would be done. Like someone else said, it would've been time to go for coffee or breakfast break after that. Lol

  I like that you made sure to tell them that you researched and mentioned the name of the recent court case specifying the amount. I think this is key. The way you handled it gives credibility to your concerns, motives and shuts them down. A lot of times when leaving these types of encounters, JWs find a way to resolve in their mind the person's intent so as to discredit them thinking something like "oh he probably just doesn't like JWs", "he must of been stumbled before", "he's mad his family are JWs", "he must be an apostate", or "he must of gotten his information from a unreliable source". But that key information may have them go and do their own research, even if just to discredit something you said or to help them prepare for the next time they encounter this same issue.

  Steve Hassan's books

  at the moment i can't get these books, they are not available as ebooks and i can't risk having them in the house.

  but i have heard so much about them and how helpful they are that i am just wondering if any who have read them can give some insights they have gained from them that would be useful to know.

  thanks in advance.

  Thanks ABS, I will do the same. I did click on the section on Amazon that says something about notifying the publisher that you'd like to see this book on kindle.

  DS211- great plan. It will have to be my last alternative. I work with my husband, so there's no lunch time reading for me, at least not of that book. Lol.

  I just finished reading the PDF of C.O.C., it took about a month while tryin to be descreet from my whole household. After I got down to about the last 75 pages, I finally figured out that I could set my settings for voice over so that I could listen to it instead.

  Does anyone know whether these books (more specifically, Combatting Cult Mind Control) have been made available via ebooks, kindle or some other electronic format?? If so, where? I haven't had success on Amazon.

  I'am in the Penalty Box! I asked the Circuit Overseer "Who Donates Blood For Jehovah's Witnesses Blood Fragments".

  by AuntConnie in

  told my husband to put a muzzle on my mouth over the blood dogma.

  we all were driving around in field service when the topic of "which fragments would you take if you were in a car accident or cut yourself badly".

  said his choice is a personal one, another sister with chronic health problems said she had no problem with the governing body's new light on taking various fragments.
