I heard Samuel Herd (governing body member) at at circuit assembly say that if your mother is df'd, you would have as little contact with her as possible.
Modern Corban: "My time and energy is something devoted to God." Ignoring the weightier matters... tsk.
Absolutely, OldSoul.
Mark 7 NIV 9 And he said to them: ?You have a fine way of setting aside the commands of God in order to observe [c] your own traditions! 10 For Moses said, ?Honor your father and your mother,? [d] and, ?Anyone who curses his father or mother must be put to death.? [e] 11 But you say that if a man says to his father or mother: ?Whatever help you might otherwise have received from me is Corban? (that is, a gift devoted to God), 12 then you no longer let him do anything for his father or mother. 13 Thus you nullify the word of God by your tradition that you have handed down. And you do many things like that.?
