  is it time for the jws to renew their blood cards or something?!

  the reason i ask is because my mother mentioned that i need to get my advance directives in order and be sure to keep the no blood card on me at all times, blah blah blah, and do i need any help in getting it all organized.. .

  i mentioned to her that i don't need any help, i worked in the healthcare field for a long time.

  Is it time for the JWs to renew their blood cards or something?!
  
  The reason I ask is because my mother mentioned that I need to get my advance directives in order and be sure to keep the no blood card on me at all times, blah blah blah, and do I need any help in getting it all organized.
  
  I mentioned to her that I don't need any help, I worked in the healthcare field for a long time. I told her that my advance directive specifies no life support for a hopeless prognosis, etc.
  
  Then I mentioned to her that I'm in the process of making out a legal will. No, I'm not that old (38) but since I am past 35, it isn't a bad idea either.
  
  She wanted to know what was in it, so I filled her in. The conversation ended with her in tears (again) and playing her martyr's game.
  
  I basically told her that:
  
  1) I want to be cremated. This wasn't a problem for her. Until I got to number two....
  
  2) My dearest and best friend (who is "worldly") will take possession of my ashes and will spread them. She wanted to know why I'm specifing that in my will. I told her "so you and dad won't just throw them in the garbage." See, when my father's father died (also a JW), he was cremated. None of my father's family claimed the ashes. They told the funeral home to just dispose of them. Keep in mind that 95% of my family are JWs. When I inquired as to why they did this, I got JW-isms in response.
  
  Well apparently this shocked her and she got really quiet. I told her there's more, like...
  
  3) No funeral. Meaning, no service, no eulogy. I even intend to specify my newspaper obit as just the facts, i.e. birthdate, deathdate, survivors. Period. Nothing more.
  
  When she asked why, I told her that I do not want a JW funeral. Although even though I'll be dead, I told her that I'll be damned if some dipshit only talks about me for 5 minutes and the rest of the 25 on a JW informercial. And since I'm sure that the rest of the family and all their friends would not be willing to have a non-religious secular memorial service, then let's just scrap the whole thing and send me down the proverbial memory hole (ref: Orwell's 1984).
  
  
  Anyway, the conversation ended with her doing her quiet little boo-hooing and martyr's game.
  
  So now I feel like a spiteful bitch. Again.
  
  Yes, I might have been unnecessarily harsh, but she wanted to know what was going to be in my will, so at least I was honest.

  hey, y'all,.

  there are three versions of the truth.. your version, my version, and the real truth somewhere in the middle.. why do some have to become so dogmatic?

  have they an ax to grind?

  This has nothing to do with the post, but I got to compliment you on your choice of avatars!

  Otis from The Devil's Rejects. Well, also House of 1000 Corpses too, but the Otis in TDR was scary.

  I just LOVE Rob Zombie!!!

  Parental FAILURE.

  by easyreader1970 in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  one thing i really hate.

  the wbts basically says that if your child does not grow up a productive members of jehovah's witnesses, in spite of everything else they may be capable of achieving, you fail as a parent.

  this bothers me.

  Oh, I'm a terrible, horrible, sinful, ungrateful, hateful, disrespectful, selfish, disappointment, donchaknow!

  You'd think they'd be overjoyed that I didn't take drugs, didn't get pregnant or sleep around, and didn't party. In fact, most parents would give their eye teeth for offspring like that.

  But no. I'm the worst person in the world because I chose to go to college and work full time instead of putting "the truth" first in my life.

  At 38 years of age, they still behave this way towards me.

  OnTheWay-

  I'm sorry for your's and your wife's loss. The relationship with JWs and death has always been insane. JWs are not allowed to grieve, after all, they'll just see their family when they're resurrected, donchaknow!

  Also, JW funerals are not funerals. Funerals are for the survivors to gather, say goodbye, and celebrate the life of the deceased. Not for the Dubbies! No, they use funerals as JW infomercials.

  Some of the sickening things I've been told/overheard.

  [when I objected that at my grandmother's funeral the freakin' brother delivering the eulogy only spent 5 or less minutes on her as a person] "A funeral is a great opportunity to witness. Your grandmother would have wanted it like that. You need to shut your mouth!"

  "Oh well. We'll see them again in the new world!" [when a man and wife died in a car crash]

  "Nothing should detract us in our ministry. Even the death of a loved one." [talk given from the platform during a Sunday meeting]

  "You should not speak only of the deceased at a funeral. That would be giving worship to the person. All worship is for Jehovah!" [spoken by some CO dipshit]

  I could go on but my blood is already boiling. I'm not a violent person, but sometimes I want to bash their faces in when this kind of shit happens.

  Are there any Americans who moved to Australia here?

  by Lady Zombie in

  2. friends

  or does anyone know someone who has moved from america to australia that i could get in touch with?.

  i'm wondering how difficult a move would be, how much $$ it takes, etc.. i know the australian government won't consider granting immigration unless the candidate has job skills and/or education.

  this is not a problem.

  I'm probably going to have to make a trip to Chicago. That's the closest embassy to me here in Kansas City.

  I was just hoping that I can find someone who has actually made the move and can speak about their experience.

  Do You Clearly Understand That "The Truth" Is Nothing But Bullcrap?

  by minimus in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  what a waste of living being "in the truth" was!

  sometimes i see persons suggesting that the witness religion isn't all so wrong.

  actually they suggest that they themselves are the issue.
