Jehavah Witnesses

[cazdee]

My son is becoming a witness and I wondered where they get buried, he is beginning to cut off from family, is this the norm?

[cazdee]

Are they buried in a church of England graveyard or do they have their own cemeteries?

[DaisyNonna]

How old is he?

[SirOracle]

I think that the C of E bury Non Christians in their cemeteries,so he should be all right.

[cazdee]

40 so hopefully it won't be an issue for a long time. It just started a debate in the family.

[Jeza]

No disrespect to your son but where I live they are forever banging at the door. They are a bloody nuisance.

[brainiac]

You'd better hope he never gets ill or injured and needs a blood transfusion....

[Jeza]

Yes I have Jock, but it's always different people.

[cazdee]

I am with you Jeza, which is probably why he is seeing us less and less.

When I was very young (about 3 years old) my best friend`s family became Witnesses. Her father didn`t whole-heartedly embrace that faith but he was a Jehovah Witness nonetheless. When he died he was buried in our village churchyard which was C of E. Kingdom Halls don`t have buriel grounds anyway.

[DaisyNonna]

How can it be good or moral to refuse to let a dying child have a blood transfusion which would save their life?

[Jeza]

So Methyl I take it you have never done a typo. I knew what she meant as did everyone else.

[237SJ]

I`m sure that if the OP wanted to ask peoples` opinions about blood transfusions and other superfluous issues, they would have asked for them.

[DaisyNonna]

237SJ, since when has letting a child die been superfluous?

[237SJ]

I didn`t say that letting a baby die is superfluous as I am sure you know. I said that the OP just wanted an answer to their question and didn`t necessarily want to listen to other peoples` moralising.
