  Question about Pope and Embalming

  by DevonMcBride in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i heard the pope wasn't embalmed.

  can someone shed some light on why he wasn't embalmed and how they prevented his body from decaying all week long.

  is he on ice?

  Most interesting. Perhaps another approach has been applied.

  When asking a friend of mine what he thought about the death of the pope, he replied - "the pope can go and get stuffed for all I care". And maybe that is just what the vatican did - called in the taxidermists.

  Having him on permanent display would be a big drawcard and a huge moneyspinner. Perhaps a world tour could be organised for all those millions who couldn't make it to Rome.

  cheeses. If I haven't offend, great. If I have -even better!

  All of you heathens should stop picking on the poor old (ooops, sorry, deceased) pope. You should only speak good of the dead. He's dead. Good.

  Advantages to being a JW

  by MGonzales in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  i'd say that the biggest advantage of being a jw is that you learn the bible.

  growing up a jw (never baptized), i had many friends (mostly catholic) who didn't even know where most books of the bible were even located.

  jws really do learn and study the bible and this knowledge becomes very helpful once you start looking at the bible more objectively and not with wts binders.

  Mgonzales,

  Seems as though you are coming to grips with bible knowledge - remember - "If you don't think your god is a murderous, malevolent thing, then you are not reading and understanding the bible correctly."

  cheeses. still wondering if he should apply for the position of pope.

  The Papal Spectacle. More smoke, mirrors, bells, and whistles.

  so the greatest show on earth rolls around again.

  traditional catholics must be exulted to be a part of the death of one pope and the selection of another.

  many of them would not have thrilled to such a glorious occasion.. a spectacular location, a cast of millions (most of whom are alive), lavish costumes and props, and plenty of superstitious ceremonies and customs.

  Top one and all,

  Perhaps some posters neglect to check that their sarcasm radar is switched on before logging onto the board.

  Yes, people can believe in what ever may soothe their being, and may engage in whatever practices that form part of their religious experience. If they elect to be duped, hoodwinked, conned, deceived, bluffed, then that is their choice. Many others elect not to have their lives determined by superstition and fantasy. What a wonderful world we live in.

  I consider myself an unbiased and unprejudiced individual - I have the same contempt and disrespect for all religious beliefs and practises, and, no, being a witness did not instill that attitude in me, I had it long before I became a dub. Being a dub merely reinforced my opinions. Key phrase? "my opinions".

  cheeses. without the hymns, chants, incantations, prayer beads, and the like. Live in the real world people.

  P. S.

  I don't know if this could be classed as a ritual? - it is something I do everyday - it's after midnight, and I'm heading of for some sleep. Some habits/rituals are hard to break.

  Big Dog,

  Don't mistake safe work practices or personal habits for rituals. There is a distinction.

  And as far as the symbolic and fantastic rituals of catholicism, or any other religion for that matter are concerned, many people over many years have been hurt because of failing to understand that the ringing of the bells, the flowing robes, the gold chains, beads, swinging incense burners, and whatever else these magnificent ones do, it is because they wish to put their followers into "a certain mental state" whereby these followers will believe all these little 'acts' will be pleasing to some almighty being. A load of bunkum.

  cheeses. Thought for the day - If you don't believe your god to be a murdering malevolent thing, then you haven't been reading your bible correctly.

  P.S. I fail to see anyone ripping rituals to shreds - yet.

  Yes Dave, I agree. Finally realising that he was dead, and had been for many years, really did wonders for him. He really looked a picture of health. Perhaps more people should start using embalming fluid and stay away from botox and cosmetic surgery.

  cheeses. wondering if the position of pope is advertised in the classifieds.

  So The Greatest Show on Earth rolls around again. Traditional catholics must be exulted to be a part of the death of one pope and the selection of another. Many of them would not have thrilled to such a glorious occasion.

  A spectacular location, a cast of millions (most of whom are alive), lavish costumes and props, and plenty of superstitious ceremonies and customs. A spectacle like this hasn't happened for many years. Catholics everywhere are excited with all of the ritualistic hoopla and pompous behavior.

  So much so, that the lastest proposal coming from the vatican is that all future popes should be no younger than eighty years, so that these gala events can be enjoyed on a more regular basis.

  It's good for business.

  So the pope is laying in state. What state is that? I would say a state of progressive putrid decay.

  i was sitting in the garden having a beer with my dad this afternoon, it was a beautiful warm spring day, and we chatted away .......it's a good thing, my dad and me haven't always got on.

  i think he thinks i'm not the son he held a 3 day party for when i was born, at least i didn't turn out like he'd hoped.

  you see he's a mans man.

  brother booze,

  You must surely be a comedian. I haven't laughed so much since I heard news that my wife's father nearly had his head torn off by a tractor wheel, as when I read your 'statement' that, "No wonder so many people leave here and eventually find the truth again."

  Names and dates of such persons - please. There, we aren't all so rude - are we?

  with tough shit, cheeses.

  I just had to go and congratulate this guy.

  for his initiative, his enthusiasm, and his courage.. the story.

  my wife and i have just returned from a couple of days in toowoomba (an inland city west of brisbane in oz) and whilst visiting we discovered that the australian gospel music festival was being held there over easter.

  for our education we decided to visit the site (no cost involved - only for the music venues, all of which were in the same location spread throughout a large park).

  The story. My wife and I have just returned from a couple of days in Toowoomba (an inland city west of Brisbane in Oz) and whilst visiting we discovered that the Australian Gospel Music Festival was being held there over easter. For our education we decided to visit the site (no cost involved - only for the music venues, all of which were in the same location spread throughout a large park). As we had expected it was rank with gross commercialization.

  But anyhow, the only redeemimg feature was the message a guy was wearing on his t shirt. Although I didn't write it down, in effect the message was -

  "If you don't believe your god is a murderous and malevolent thing, then you haven't been reading and understanding your bible correctly." I just had to introduce myself and congratulate him - he certainly was taking it right up to their faces.

  cheeses. reflecting on a fine moment.
