I assume God made Bones to last for a long time for a reason, with Burial you still have Bones:

In 6 ft casket bones last for a very long time. If held in a dry environment -- as with mummies -- they can last for thousands or tens of thousands of years. Locked in frozen ground in the Arctic, or in a desert, or underneath layers of silt at the bottom a river, the bones could last for thousands of years. In some cases, even long enough for the minerals in the bones to interact with percolating ground water and fossilize. Fossilized bones, if they remain protected from erosion or mechanical damage can last millions or even hundreds of millions of years.

thanks for pointing that out. I am angry that Prince was cremated. If George Lopez gave TYKA $20,00 for the funeral and she spent $ 1,800? on cremation instead, I'm try not say anything bad about his sister but .... I really hope the cremation was a lie and he is buried in a private grave

.

Prince had his son cremated, so I'm sure that he would want the same. I think there is a lot of misunderstanding about cremation. Cremation is accepted in the Catholic church. What we have to understand that once we perish, our spirit leaves our body. It's our spirit that lives on, not our flesh. Hope this makes sense.

What I find odd is that JW does not believe in cremation, yet his family had him cremated.

.

Very sad about P's Son. I read the story and it's just heartbreaking. I was a bit shocked to read that P was not there when his Son passed. I can't imagine what that did to Mayte. I can't imagine the pain of losing a child but, maybe he could not bear to see him one last time and he wanted to let him go in peace.

.

FALSE!!! I was raised a JW, where did you get this idea from?

.

That was an old post; someone already corrected me on that, thanks!

Is it true JWs don't take blood and If so, why?

Red herring aside. First off, this is irrelevant to the subject. Second off, I don't subscribe to the blood teachings of JW's. Thirdly, my sister died after REFUSING to take blood and it still pisses me off to no end. But, to answer your question THEY believe that the bible teaches to abstain from blood Acts 15:28-29 and that you should present your body as a holy living sacrifice and that blood represents life and that the ingestion of blood defouls the body and is gross unappreciative conduct and disrespectful to God as the giver of life. Blah, blah, blah Now, obviously I don't BELIEVE these false doctrines and they have amended these illogical teachings to the point of being unrecognizable to the one that was first established by the jew Charles Taze Russel. Although Rutherford was actually responsible for the modern day "blood prohibition" and a hitler supporter and taught other biblically false doctrines, most likly because he was an alcholic and was often inebriated both while writing these unbelievably false teachings as well as when engaged in public speaking and house to house ministry. At this point it should be clear to you that I am well studied in the teachings that JW's believe and that I am no longer associated with them. However, I went into a little background for the simple reason that the average witness is unaware of these facts and it is primarily because they are shamed from doing any kind of research, because if they did thet would see that the watch tower society has changed its stance on the blood teachings several times. Listen, I apologise for the beginning and I didnt mean to be so rude, but its hard no extremely difficult for me to discuss this, because I warned my sister that this would happen two weeks before she went into the hospital.

And thats not the only thing they have changed over the years. And to think Larry Graham had P brainwashed in this crap!
