  It was awful

  as i posted in a previous thread, i went to a friends funeral on friday( i'll call him peter).

  it was my first time back to a kh in years.

  as i walked in i overheard a "sister" telling her friend that she had to come straight from work and that's why she was wearing pants and that she hoped no one would think that she was "wordly".

  Thanks for the update... I was thinking of you of Friday!

  I am sure you got some tongues wagging when you said that your life was right with God to that "sister"!

  Love

  Witness intelligence vs. stupidity

  by Shepherd Book in

  there has been a recent thread debating the intelligence of jws.

  i was going to post on that thread but, alas, i have gotten too verbose and have decided to start a new thread.

  i was and am a nerd.

  Interesting theory, but I don't think you can generalise about whether smarter people leave and dumb people stay... I think that there are people of all levels of intellect in and out the borg. And if you are going to talk about intellect, I believe that there are different types of intelligence. Perhaps some peoples talents suit the dubs better than others!

  I was a born in witness and I was an absolutely average witness! I never took any interest in studying the bible or the literature that they spewed out. That fact did not make me not smart! When it came to things I love and enjoy, I am very smart and studious!

  Just my 2 cents.

  What kind of a funeral do you want?

  by Princess Daisy Boo in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  so all this talk at the moment about funerals and stuff got me thinking... what kind of an exit party would i like?.

  i reckon i would not want anything too formal, but i would want loads of people saying how great i was - i people to notice that i am no longer around, and be sad about it!

  i want people to share good memories.

  I just remembered this poem I really love by WH Auden - Funeral Blues -

  Stop all the clocks, cut off the telephone,
  Prevent the dog from barking with a juicy bone,
  Silence the pianos and with muffled drum
  Bring out the coffin, let the mourners come.

  Let aeroplanes circle moaning overhead
  Scribbling on the sky the message He Is Dead,
  Put crêpe bows round the white necks of the public doves,
  Let the traffic policemen wear black cotton gloves.

  He was my North, my South, my East and West,
  My working week and my Sunday rest,
  My noon, my midnight, my talk, my song;
  I thought that love would last for ever: I was wrong.
  

  The stars are not wanted now: put out every one;
  Pack up the moon and dismantle the sun;
  Pour away the ocean and sweep up the wood.
  For nothing now can ever come to any good.

  Oh, yes, if my organs are at all useful, they can have them all!

  his lovei know that you love him, and rightfully so... your love came first, and this i do know.. he cares for you, in a different way,.

  you'll always be, on the top of his list, .

  and i will be there, for the things that you've missed.

  I love your poem.

  My kids are so special.

  My little boy is still at the age where he says he wants to marry me when he is big, and I kinda wish he would always feel that way!

  My daughter and I are just developing a special mother daughter bond and my favourite at the moment is when she tells he dad that "Chicks Rule" and come up and hugs me and says "we da winners hey mom!"

  I want it to be a celebration of my life and who I was.

  I want music.

  I dont want it to be about resurrection hope or God taking back his angels and stuff.

  I dont want to be buried, rather cremated. Scatter my ashes somewhere beautiful. I dont want a grave stone, but maybe a little brass plaque somewhere? There are Botanical Gardens near my home, and quite far into the gardens there is a small dam. Near the dam is hide, to sit and watch birds. I discovered the hide a few years ago there, and I recall sitting in there in semi darkness and solitude and being overcome by such a feeling of peace. I cant really go back there on my own - it is probably not safe, but maybe there?

  But ultimately, I guess how people commemorate my exit from the world is not for me to decide. Maybe the ones I leave behind should make that decision?

  As I am typing this, I am watching the end of EVITA . My fav song of the sound track is this one:

  Another Suitcase in Another Hall Lyrics

  [Eva:]
  I don't expect my love affairs to last for long
  Never fool myself that my dreams will come true
  Being used to trouble I anticipate it
  But all the same I hate it, wouldn't you?
  
  [Chorus:]
  
  [Eva:] So what happens now?
  [Che:] Another suitcase in another hall
  [Eva:] So what happens now?
  [Che:] Take your picture off another wall
  [Eva:] Where am I going to?
  [Che:] You'll get by, you always have before
  [Eva:] Where am I going to?
  
  Time and time again I've said that I don't care
  That I'm immune to gloom, that I'm hard through and through
  But every time it matters all my words desert me
  So anyone can hurt me, and they do
  
  [chorus]
  
  Call in three months time and I'll be fine, I know
  Well maybe not that fine, but I'll survive anyhow
  I won't recall the names and places of each sad occasion
  But that's no consolation here and now.
  
  [chorus, with Che's lines being sung by the starlets]
  
  [Huevo:]
  Don't ask anymore.

  Poem from dub friend.

  i got this in an e-mail from a childhood friend that is still an active jw.

  i found it to be very upsetting and was wondering if anyone else gets the kind of e-mail forwards from friends/family that are still in?

  and how you handle it.

  Geez that upsets me! Really really upsets me.

  Read my profile... as a woman who started dating an "unbeliever", I have been down this road, and you know what... in 11 days, we will have been married for 8 years - he is the most wonderful man alive.

  In fact my Dad once admitted to me that he was a lot better than any of the JW boys I knew - and 8 years down the line - if I look back at the JW man that I did have a relationship with prior to meeting my husband, I can safely say that I am 1000 times better off for marrying my "worldy" boyfriend than I would have been had I stayed involved with the other JW guy!

  Aarrgh!
