Would Jesus have shunned any member of his family? I asked my Dad that question and we've had a normal relationship ever since.
Has anyone tried this with their family?
WWJD?

I imagine most witnesses would just say that WWJD is just a worldy saying, and dismiss any further talking.
That being said, yes, I agree, that Jesus would not have shunned his family.

For a worldly saying it was used often enough by elders giving me lectures.
Should I go to University?.......................WWJD?
Should I pursue a career?.......................WWJD?
Every question that is asked is answered with the same comment;
In answer to the question though, Jesus would not have shunned any member of his family.
Kind regards

WWJD? A stupid question IMO
The fact is, we know that Jesus came and lived amongst humankind in his time i.e. 2,000 years ago.
So, there are many things he did that we don't do, just as there are many things we do that he didn't. It's simply how society lives today.
Take the trivial example of men's trousers. WWJD? Well, he never wore them, so should we? yet who would take this seriously.
We could probably think of many such examples.
The christian teaching is that Jesus reigns eternally. What Joe wears to the meeting on Sunday is hardly the earth-shattering concern to Jesus that it seems to have to the minions of the WTS.

I don't believe jesus would do some thing like that, but i know that there is a statement in the bible that you have to love god more than you brother or sister or mother or father type of thing, but i dont believe the practices of the JW are validated by the that scripture in the bible
**Matthew 10:37 - He who loves father or mother more than me is not worthy of me; and he who loves son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me**

A bit off topic but I like the "WWJD" type T-shirts: Who Would Jesus Bomb?
