  Let The Dead Bury The Dead

  by Larry in

  yesterday was the first time me or anybody else visited my father's grave site - he died in 1977. he was a non-jw and never liked the them, but he liked the fact that my mother was.

  ironically, i think he died the same day as nathan knorr.

  anyway, this experience has helped me to see the real meaning of 'showing respect.

  I think that we visit the dead for OURSELVES to bring a sort of closure and to help us heal. We may even talk to the dead loved one, but we know deep down that they can't hear us. But still we do what makes US feel better, placing flowers, candles, etc. at their grave.

  Saying that visiting the dead is a waste of time is just one more way in which the Watchtower interferes with natural grief and human emotion. Get out in service, it will take your mind off your troubles.....yeah, right.

  JEHOVAH'S WITNESSES WANT IT BOTH WAYS

  by Perry in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  when individuals leave the organization for conscience reasons, it is evidence that god is shepherding and protecting the flock by doing a sifting work.

  when people leave another christian religion it is evidence that the religion is morally corrupt and unable or unwilling to provide spiritually for their members.

  when a christian from another denomination lies, he is acting according to his own disposition being from the father of the lie.

  Microphone "Handling"

  what is all the fuss about?

  when i was still assimilated (i.e.

  still in the borg, but wanting out every second of that time), there was so much emphasis put on microphone handling that it was almost unreal.

  When I first came to that hall, by the way, there were only 2 ministerial serpents. One was in his forties, the other in his 70's

  Ain't that the truth.

  Especially For Waiting

  i know how much you enjoy nature, so i took a pic of our garden on the day before the bbq.

  it's not a particularly large garden so it doesn't take that much work to maintain it.

  most of the flowers are petunias, niccotania and antihhrynnums, although we can get semi-tropical stuff to grow well in this part of the uk..

  Shouldn't Watchtower simply return the stocks to McCann and then disfellowship his sorry ass?

  They would be in the clear and could spin it anyway they liked.

  my jw dad called me this morning and told me that he found my jw uncle dead, face-down on the floor in his home.

  he's taking it hard.

  i was shocked to hear him say that he wanted me to be with the family.
