Surely whatever you feel is in keeping with expressing condolence.
Since Jehovah's Witnesses do not celebrate birthdays, it would be best to respect their beliefs and not get them a card at all.
I would probably just send a Condolence card, and visit the grave privately at a later date, unless you have a mutual friend who KNOWS if you would be welcome at the funeral.
That would depend on what you are getting the greeting card for. It would be good to note that Jehovah's Witnesses do not celebrate Christmas, nor do we exchange holiday greeting cards or even the holiday greetings such as "Merry Christmas." We also do not celebrate the other religious holiday's such as Easter and valentine's day. If you give a holiday greeting card to a witness, it is usually awkward for the witness because he knows you are expecting him to reciprocate, but he won't and sometimes he is at a loss as to what to do, because he doesn't want to hurt anyone's feelings. So, if the greeting card is for a holiday, it would probably be best to simply avoid a card altogether. RELATED QUESTION Can you give a Jehovah witness a card
Yes it is, and very practical as well! And thoughtful.
Yes, it is absolutely okay to send them a card! And they use the same things for newborn babies as you do; blankets, stuffed animals, diapers, cute little shoes, etc. Don't be afraid to be friendly just because they're Jehovah's Witnesses!
No, it is not necessary to send a Thank You Card for a a funeral mass card.
Sending a condolence card is the best thing to do.
just comfort them and get them a nice card or something. just remember they do not celebrate any holdiday other than anniversarys........................ they r normal people with a different religion
You say "my condolences", not "my condolence". For example, if someone you know has passed away, you would write in a sympathy card "I am sorry for your loss, my condolences".
Absolutely, but I do not recommend sending a store bought one. Those one's might have simple things that the witnesses do not believe on. It could have a picture of Jesus on a cross, however in the bible it states that Jesus was tortured on a stake, which is just a long wood pole. I'm sure a witness would appreciate a card that was home-made by you.
If you are going to the funeral take flowers and a card if you are not going to the funeral just send a card, generally the food after a funeral is taken care of by the family and or those that are organizing the funeral.
Yes. The funeral of Jehovah's Witnesses is primarily to provide comfort to grieving ones, and certainly flowers are something that provides cheer to those receiving them. In fact, if you go to the funeral service in the Kingdom Hall, likely you will see flowers on the platform that have been sent by others, including members of the congregation of Jehovah's Witnesses. Edited to add that while Jehovah's Witnesses are Christians, we do not use the cross symbol in our worship. So if you do send flowers to a memorial service/funeral for one of Jehovah's Witnesses, please do not send one that is shaped like a cross. We would certainly appreciate the sentiment, but would not display such an arrangement.
