Have Witness Funerals and Memorial Services Changed?
by Athanasius inafter reading the thread on mickey spillane's memorial service it sounded like the jws are changing their funeral program.
or was this because of spillane's celebrity status?
in the past the witness funeral outline told the elder conducting the memorial service not eulogize the deceased, but to promote watchtower doctrines.

Interesting JW attire
by Athanasius inyesterday while shopping i had an interesting experience.
there was an older woman ahead of me at the check out who was dressed in all black, including her stockings and shoes.
in fact i thought that she might be a sister, as i've seen nuns at my wife's church dressed in similar fashion.. as i waited my turn to pay for my purchases, she was engaged in conversation with the cashier and gave him a business card as she was leaving.

Attended first Memorial in 20 years
by Athanasius inafter a 20 year absence i attended the memorial this evening.
not surprisingly, nothing has really changed after two decades, as far as the memorial talk is concerned.
the jws were very friendly even though i wore an american flag pin in my lapel and identified myself as a devout anglican.

For My Distant Love
by Athanasius ino' how precious the moment we shared not so long ago.. together we caught the rain, felt dawn, saw sunset glow.. it was so wonderful, so right, that you and i be together.. but duty called.
o' how i wanted to stay with you forever.. the wind tossed your golden tresses the day i left.. you were standing there so beautiful yet so bereft.. that was the saddest of days, the day i had to depart.. for that which is beyond control would keep us apart.. though i am home in that golden land in the west,.
i think of you always, my love, daughter of the east.. my love, a woman so beautiful, and the woman i most adore.. i will count the days till i return and hold you once more..
