Funerals ??? How about The Watchtower funeral home and graveyard ???
by run dont walk inhey, they could make a fortune, have it behind bethel, jw's would pay top dollar to be buried there.. are there any rules regarding funerals ???.
are you allowed to donate your body parts to science or medical help ???.
the watchtower is so concerned about association, i'm surprised they would allow you to be buried beside a "worldly person".. so, the purpose of this thread is .......... are there any rules, regarding how a body is disposed of, and if you can use the kingdom hall, have a gathering afterwards ???.

Were you married at the Kingdom Hall ? How bad was your wedding reception ?
by run dont walk ini'm just wondering...... i remember going to some wedding receptions for couples who got married at the kingdom hall,.
and i hate to be mean but, super boring, and bad, how bad you ask ??
ok here we go ..... - the worst had to be one couple played kingdom meolodies for their wedding dances, i couldn't believe it.. - no alcohol (i'm sure we all experienced a few of these), reception was over by 9:30.. - no music at all, just a gathering of people, and they ended the reception with a prayer, i thought i was at an assembly.. - food, like if you can't afford to get married don't, like frozen stuff bought at your local grocery store, and still in the package when you got up to the tables, how tacky.. - you could always tell a couple who couldn't afford much, when you had to drive 50 miles into the back woods to find some dinky little community hall they rented for $100.. - i remember one where the bride was pregnant, i was really surprised they allowed them to use the kingdom hall.. - another classic was, they had this band (of all jw's of course) and man they were bad.

'us' against 'them' mindset
by Myxomatosis ini'm really curious as to what sort of verbal or otherwise abuse, if any, that everyone received as a jw.
did you get teased at all, threatened, shouted at, any damage to your physical property, leaflets left on the windshield, anything like that?
i ask because after reading this bit from steve hassan's book, and was already rather aware of this through my own personal experience, but what did that make you think about your beliefs?

Had a Conversation with a Young JW Lady at the Bus Stop
by Yizuman inthere was a young blonde lady who was passing out the wt & awake magazines at the bus stop where i was waiting for the bus to go downtown..... i started having a conversation with her by starting out about charles taze russell.
i told her that of all of my readings of the works of c.t.
russell, not one time did he ever teach that jesus was michael the archangel..... so i told her about this quote....zions watchtower and herald of christs presence, their official magazine of doctrine, 1879, page 48, which is teaching on jesus christ: "...his position is contrasted with that of men and angels, as he is lord of both, having all power in heaven and earth.
