I love weddings, and was quite honored when, in 2008, some young friends asked me to officiate at theirs; they said they wanted a “Belief Systems & Other BS style” marriage talk. Honored, but also a little apprehensive. For my radio show was known for espousing the weird beliefs of others along with my own godless philosophy, and while I knew this would play well in Paonia, Colorado—last redoubt of the unreconstructed hippie—and that Carl and Kelly were spiritually liberal people with their own set of weird beliefs, I also knew that this would be a fairly large ceremony with plenty of people of conventional faith gathered together from all over the country. And who wants to be controversial at a wedding?
Maybe you're in a similar situation—personally, I think this talk might go over with JWs attending a civil ceremony, if they have a sense of humor (some do!). Anyway, here's the talk in case you're interested: A Wedding Talk for Heathens & Christians
cheers,
