Funeral for an atheist

by Stealth in

jw
friends

99% of all funerals that i have attended have been the wt version, where they preach about the resurrection into paradise and say little about the person who passed other than they were loyal to jah.

the other 1% catholic for grandparents.. now that i consider myself an atheist, i got to wondering what do atheists plan for when they die?.

if you are a non-believer what are your plans for when you die?

i had a distant relative leave his body to science, just last year.

and bigmac there is a mars Pa, so you might get half of your request, lol

what would happen If?

by sowhatnow in

i submitted a letter to the local k hall, explaining that i no longer believe my baptism as a jw is valid, based on my current bible knowlege.

and i wish to be no longer considered a baptised [in this organization], jw, but simply a christain who studies the bible.. and then would continue to attend meetings?.

they couldnt prevent me, its open to the public.. .

oh well, i guess ill just wait and see how things go by being oh so quiet.

of course that is up to my mom,

who was called kdka cathy when she was a teen. [kdka is a tv channel]

she talks too much.

Did you expect all non-Witnesses to die at Armageddon?

by Apognophos in

apologies if this has been asked before, but i couldn't find a thread where the focus was specifically this yes-or-no question.

reach back in your memories to when you were at the peak of your faith in the religion, and tell me honestly:.

"did you, personally, believe that non-witnesses would die at armageddon, even if they hadn't gotten to hear the message at all?".

sowhatnow

i never accepted that ,

im better than that, id never condemn someone to die for ignorance or imperfection.

not going back to those weekly cuckoo conventions

but thought maybe I found a way out for a lot of people who are needing to stay

involved for sake of family

im not and never was missed. If I was df tomorrow the only person who would 'suffer' would be my mom.

I thought gee if your not baptised, your not under thier rules?

years ago I recall something about people wanting to get rebaptised weird but thought hmm I wonder.

in an earlier thread, i mentioned that i wasn't a particularly doggy person but that my parents got a husky last year that i've come to regard as a kind of brother.. huskies superficially resemble wolves and for me it's been fun to compare and contrast husky and wolf behaviour.

huskies howl but rarely bark, and seem to have a strong prey drive and a strong pack instinct - a nod to their wild cousins.

this is why i love huskies, i think.. do you have a favourite dog breed and why?.

sowhatnow

not a dog lover but when i watched the show on PBS wishbone, i thought that jack russel was adorable, so we got one.

fortunatuely he was a mild mannered little 'elmo' [his name] who was a good dog and calm for a jr.

13 years later when he had to be put to rest, my husband cried harder than when his own parents died.

they are funny dogs.

my mom had a mini collie, which i liked, she also was cute, but with the hair, high maintainence. but still adorable.

by sowhatnow in

exodus 34 vs 14. in every bible accept the twisted up new world bible which totally demolished the whole scripture.

when i read it fro that bible i just stopped thinking for a moment, i went blank, [it was scary man].

sowhatnow
