JW funerals are very homogenized, one size fits all affairs. They sort of hijack the whole thing,even if it's not held at the Kingdom Hall. The main thing is that your Dad enjoyed his life and had people who loved him and that he also loved, till the end. Sounds like he did just that.

Doughboy was buried in a lightly greased coffin.
Dozens of celebrities turned out to pay their respects, including Mrs. Butterworth, Hungry Jack, the California Raisins, Betty Crocker,
the Hostess Twinkies and Captain Crunch.
The grave site was piled high with flours.
Aunt Jemima delivered the eulogy and lovingly described Doughboy as a man who never knew how much he was kneaded.
Doughboy rose quickly in show business, but his later life was filled with turnovers. He was not considered a very smart cookie, wasting much of his dough on half-baked schemes.
Despite being a little flaky at times, he still, as a crusty old man, was considered a roll model for millions.
Doughboy is survived by his wife, Play Dough; two children John Dough and Jane Dough; plus they had one in the oven.
He is also survived by his elderly father Pop Tart.

RBC accident report paperwork on jwleaks? why does it matter if elder
by ?me? inon one of the recent boe letters, they sent a rbc form to document any accidents on the jobsite.
there is a portion to check if the injured person was an elder, pioneer, ms, etc.... .
why does this matter?

The "rank" of the person who was injured might give them an idea of how credible the claim is and what strategy they might use to thwart any payout.
It also might give them data as to who is getting hurt so they can identify any pattern that indicate needed safety changes. Is it the high ranking supervisors or the worker bees, who are getting hurt or is it the low ranking publisers, or is it the foolish young ones who are given work that should be done by more experienced workers ?

From the looks of those carts, the JW's will have to hold an umbrella over them if it started raining.

If you were around in 1914 or knew someone who was, it is highly probable that this one will indeed be the last.

Why JW assemblies NEED to change
by kneehighmiah inthe assemblies would be get better results and get more people to come and be inspired if they were more encouraging.
instead the assemblies are a giant guilt trip.
don't go to college, don't get a good job, dont buy things even if you can afford them, don't play violent games, don't flirt.

Amen...people need the place they choose to worship God in, to give them strength to get them through another week, not a place that highlights the negativity of the world and places further burdens upon them.

I think my D.O. Is a closet apostate. References Stanford Prison Study and hints he sometimes disagrees with the Branch
by kneehighmiah ini find it odd that the district overseer today made.
1. zero yes 0 references to the fds in any of his talks.. 2.he also told elders that the brothers worship god and not them.so therefore the elders have no authority to order the friends around.. 3. he also talked about the stanford prison study and said that people who receive authority over others often abuse it.
4. he mentioned that when he disagrees with the branch (aka the fds) he's learned to just do what they say.

I wish we wouldn't use the word Apostate when refering to someone who's woken up to the fact that JW's aren't the ture religon. That's "their" word for it and like much of what they think, it is inaccurate.

I want my donations back!
by Hortenzie ini want to ask wt for my donations back.
i live in canada and i have income tax receipts from them so i can prove how much i gave them.... anybody ever tried something like that or heard about somebody doing it?
what approach should i take?.

I don't think you have a snowball's chance in Hell Gehenna of ever getting your money back but I think it would send them the message that former members don't just disappear into the woodwork anymore. They are being watched and are being held accountable like never before.

It's about accountability. Turning in time is not only a way to measure an idividuals spirituality or for those in charge to quantify or evaluate your relaitonship God but is also serves as a way to measure ones subjection to the organization. Many are not motivated by their love for human kind, they need a way to measure and compare themselves to others or to the group and they need a tagible way to prove their worth.
Mommy, I placed 4 magazines in service today.
Good boy Pete, you are making Jehovah's heart glad.
