I think it's no more, or no less silly than what's in Every Other Religion.

So sorry for your loss. I just lost my mom recently also.

I know less about the JWs than I do about some of the other Christian sects. After a while it all sounds equally bogus, so knowing details ceases to matter to me.

I’m so sorry for your loss. I went to a funeral several years ago for my in laws who are are also JW’s. My ex is a recovering one. They are not xian they are considered pseudo xian or cult like. This is a made up religion by one man like Scientology or seventh day eventists. They’ve had rapture predictions that came and went where people gave away or sold all of thier worldly possessions waiting for Jehovah and they still are.. lol. Be glad you’re not in that mess.

Jehovah's Witness is an apocalyptic cult related to the Seventh Day Adventists, both of which sprang from the Millerite movement of the early/mid 19th century. Miller is famous for having precisely but erroneously predicted the apocalypse not once but twice. Lots of people believed his prediction and went outdoors to wait for the rapture, which of course never came. Both times! It is a shining example of the resiliency and persistence of unjustified belief even in the face of overwhelming contrary evidence. It's actually kind of scary.

My sympathy for losing your mom, that's always tough. As for the JW's conflation of various mythical entities, remember that it doesn't have to make sense in order to be horseshit. This is a good example of that phenomenon.

I thought Jehovah stood for God, and of course, Christians think Jesus Christ = God and son of God. So I think the pastor was right, I guess, in using both Jehovah and JC in the same sentence.

Sorry to hear about that. Well, funerals are more about supporting the grieving families than anything else.

My mom died in 2008 and I went to the funeral, but that was the LAST religious funeral I will ever go to.It was a catholic mass. They are not quite as bad as JW, but not far behind.

My condolences on your loss.

Sorry about your mom. Cancer got mine last may. I do not think we had a religous funeral with mom,sister and grandparents. We just had a wake for all 4. If i recall my cultural anthro stuff. That is one of american sects. It was one of the american sects that came up with rapture. Sorry for your loss

i am sorry about your mother.

re jw, i have a friend/acquaintance who was raised, and still is as far as i know, jw. she has told me about sexual abuse and the church's main concern regarding it, which is to cover it up and punish people for speaking out. that doesn't make me like them much, as delusional sects go.
