across the board,(jw,s,baptist, catholic etc.
) you walk in any church.

The JW funeral talk outline - poor taste or REALLY poor taste?
by Mr. Falcon inso i attended a funeral for a jw who passed away (non-"annointed) and i would have to state that although i have heard the standard funeral talk outline for dozens of funerals i've attended, i never really took the time to listen.
and my god, i was cringing.
the outline is essentially broken down like this:.

spoke to an old ex-jw friend , damaged goods ?
by man in black inwhen i was a witness i was good friends with a recently baptized guy who was always trying to reach out to help, run the microphones, work behind the counter with the literature, attendant at the assemblies, etc.. the big problem here was that he is a police office, has been one for over 30 years, so the org.
would not allow him to do anything exept clean the toilets during assemblies .
his wife and him divoriced ten years ago and he was df'ed.

How will the "new earth" be cleaned up ?
by man in black ini remember reading about the after effects of armageddon throughout the years, how the birds and beasts will ,eat their fill of the dead bodies.. pictures in the books and magazines showing how people will be destroyed by fire, weather, and earthquakes.
then reading a real insightful post somewhere on this site which was titled something along the lines of "diary of an armageddon survivor".. but now that i have left this religion, i have never really understood accurately just how the wt society believes that the earth will be cleaned up right after the big a.. when the witnesses were studying with my parents back in the mid 70's the po had the idea that god would somehow use matter/antimatter to clean up all of the bodies.
animals eating them all was another point, and the one where survivors would actually have to go around and bury them all was just totally bizzare to me.. (watch the series band of brothers, episode titled "why we fight" this is where the soldiers find a concentration camp,,,, it is a very frightening thing to watch to believe that god would make rightous survivors spend time doing this in the paradise cleaning up without looking for survivors.

Do jw's get more paranoid as they get older ?
by man in black inmy dad has been a jw since the mid 1970's and he has had his ups and downs with this religion during this time.. but the one constant thing has been how terrible conditions are in the world and that god will soon usher in the paradise... my mom died several years ago, and he has grabbed onto the religion with new energy, i can understand that he needs something to focus.
on, and it brings him some comfort.
so i just leave him alone in this area.. a month ago i went down to visit him, ( he lives 1500 miles away) just to spend some time.
