do Jehovah Witness post death notices?

Question

Where do Jehovah Witnesses Post death notices of loved ones

Answer 1

The matter of a death notice is generally secular. Jehovah's Witnesses do not have any particular belief.

There are no particular rituals involved in Jehovah's Witness funerals, cremations, or burials. All specifics are decided by the family of the deceased, or the deceased himself by means of will.

Generally, a ten- to twenty-minute bible-based talk is delivered by a congregation elder or family member at a funeral home, Kingdom Hall, or other dignified location. The deceased is not eulogized, but is remembered. Prayers are offered. At the graveside, a few bible passages may be read and another prayer offered.

Of course, Jehovah's Witness funerals are not as depressed as those with no hope.

(1 Thessalonians 4:13) Moreover, brothers, we do not want you to be ignorant concerning those who are sleeping in death; that you may not sorrow just as the rest also do who have no hope.

Answer 3

There is no reason why Jehovahs Witness don't post death notices. The only difference being that JW's know that the dead one is in a deep sleep awaiting the resurrection call.
As to where the announcement is made, usually the local newspaper and an announcement can be made at the Kingdom Hall.

Answer 4

Jehovah Witness Obituary

Answer 5

Yes when a loved one falls asleep in death they are shown in the obituary and the memorial services are listed on it and it is held at the Kingdom Hall and the Brothers give talks about the resurrection and the paradise. There could also be a brother from a different state that was friends with the brother or sister and they talk about what they did when they were serving Jehovah. They also talk about the Paradise and they read from the Bible, a specific Scripture that the loved one wanted to be read at their memorial service. We have a prayer and we sing the Kingdom melodies song book.

Personally for me: I love Witness funerals the best because they talk about the resurrection and the paradise. I have been to two funerals: one Witness, my uncle who was a witness and one non-Witness, my grandpa who wasn't a Witness. The one that I liked most was my uncle's funeral because of the way it talked about how my uncle and many others are going to resurrected in the New System.

Answer 6

It depends on if the decedent had it in his / her will or not.
Beyond that then the choice
goes to the next of kin to the deceased.
It may be announced at your local Hall.
It may be posted in the local newspaper.
If it was a murder or car accident
i.e. a sudden death*
some such sort of circumstances,
that hits the newspapers, that's kind of,
in a manner of speaking, out of your control.
i.e. CNN or Fox News etc...

*If the circumstances were sudden,
the newspaper, is a decent way to get the news out.
We did it for my mom~in~law.
Some ppl still didn't even know,
a yr later and such.
like... "how's Joan"?

Answer 7

J.W's do.
But they always keep in mind that their dead loved ones are 'asleep' in death, to await the resurrection, and have NOT gone to heaven.
(Psalm 13:3) Do look [upon me]; answer me, O Jehovah my God. Do make my eyes shine, that I may not fall asleep in death,

(Revelation 20:12-13) And I saw the dead, the great and the small, standing before the throne, and scrolls were opened. But another scroll was opened; it is the scroll of life. And the dead were judged out of those things written in the scrolls according to their deeds. 13 And the sea gave up those dead in it, and death and Ha′des gave up those dead in them, and they were judged individually according to their deeds.

(Ecclesiastes 9:5-6) For the living are conscious that they will die; but as for the dead, they are conscious of nothing at all, neither do they anymore have wages, because the remembrance of them has been forgotten. 6 Also, their love and their hate and their jealousy have already perished, and they have no portion anymore to time indefinite in anything that has to be done under the sun.

Answer 8

*** w89 6/15 p. 3 Will We Ever See Them Again? ***

IN THE Grand Duchy of Luxembourg, surviving families and friends repeatedly express sentiments such as these in newspaper memorial notices published after the death of a loved one.

So the answer is yes.

Answer 9

By death notices, do you mean Obituaries?
I can't speak for every Jehovah's Witness, but when my Mom died, we posted her obituary in the newspaper.

Answer 10

In obituaries? Not sure I understand what you mean.

When both my grandmothers and my father died, we posted in the paper's obits section, like most people do.
