recently at the beach house with my DF studly son...a carload of young jw's in service drove by and saw us...old friends of his/me...they turned around and stopped...hugs and all!...i loved them treating him so human
most dubs now HATE to shun...esp. their own family and there is less and less of it...my own Mom will not shun my son, but Dad will...she just told me she has no prob treating my son as just her normal grandson because she believe no kids should be allowed to be baptised!....i LOVE YOU MOM!!....i have asked my handful of jw friends if they would shun their kids if they get df'd and i got all no's except for two HELLNO's!....so maybe....if oompa the prophet is correct....
if WT would just stop this pathetic practice of DF and shunning...esp. for kids who were dunked.......their numbers will explode (and they can change anything and everything, and pretty much already have, heck 1914 is about out the door for good).......oompa
then holidays will be ok again....just like pinatas...hey they dont mean that anymore!
