Deva Posted June 26, 2009 Author Share Posted June 26, 2009 Yes, Loren, for sure one thing I know is he doesn't need a damned Christian psychiatrist. Whatever problem it is, that is bound to make it worse. A screwed up philosophy full of lies is something we don't need here. My parents are probably going to try to influence my sister-in-law on a course of treatment. For them, the only right answer is something involving Christianity. My father is particularly authoritarian. My mother tries more subtle tactics but same story. It has done enough damage to me so damn straight I am going to start communicating with my sister-in-law to try my best to do a counter-influence. In my sister-in-law's weakened emotional state right now there is no telling what will happen. I am noticing that when my parents are talking about others at the funeral who I don't know its always "so-and-so is a Christian" before anything else comes out of their mouths. It is a very sick situation as far as I am concerned. Label people according to their religion. It sucks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Llwellyn Posted June 27, 2009 Share Posted June 27, 2009 I just know that upon my death, my family will try to pull that kind of crap. I just have to make sure I outlive my parents, because they have absolutely no respect or regard for my strong feelings. Even if I gave them explicit instructions about how I wanted my funeral to be conducted and my remains to be disposed of, they would just ignore it, and the whole process would be about Jesus, heaven, and all that disgusting parasitic shit. (They have already told me that they will ignore my request not to proselytize my children when I have them -- whoops, no unsupervised visits to Grandma, I guess!) For example, I don't want to be buried under a cross, or under a gravestone with a cross. Actually, I would prefer it if my grave were completely unmarked. I definitely don't want to risk being resurrected by the Christian God or being justified or forgiven because of the cross. But my family would surely ignore this reasonable request, and would bury me under a cross and swear up and down that I was somehow "saved" despite all outward signs. Perhaps I should execute an appointment of guardianship of my remains, making a non-Christian friend the guardian of my remains rather than my family. On the other hand, if I'm dead and gone, then why scandalize my family and make them suffer? If it would make them feel good to think that my heart was really infected with the Jesus parasite at the time of my death, then why take that away from them?

Llwellyn Posted June 27, 2009 Share Posted June 27, 2009 Print out a document like this one:"APPOINTMENT OF AGENT TO CONTROL DISPOSITION OF REMAINS.". Sign it in front of two witnesses, and in front of a notary. In that document, name a person who shall take care of your corpse after your death. Don't give it to someone who will forget he is your agent or who will fail to assert his power against your family as your agent after your death. Of course, nobody can prevent your family from having a memorial service in any way that they choose, but you don't have to allow them to say anything they want in front of your open casket, and you don't have to allow them to give you a Christian burial or bury you under the symbols of a strange religion. Give your remains to someone who will bury them and solemnize the burial in the way that you want. If you have non-Christian family members or friends, offer to be their agents and to control their remains upon their death, and then get them to execute one of these documents naming you as their agent, then you can make sure that you care for them as you would like to be cared for.
