  Question-Did you know your family?

  by Sparkplug in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  soledad made a comment on cruzanhearts thread that got me thinking.... what are your experiences on getting to know family members that were not witnesses.

  i never knew all of my relatives and really as it was put, lost a sense of heritage.

  i feel this part of the family starts with me, and i still wonder what it is like to have cousins, aunts, uncles ets?

  At the age of 40 I started to get in touch with my extended family. So far its been 50/50 Some are distrustful because none of my family have been in touch for over 40 year, and didn't know I existed. Some have greeted me with open arms and are wonderful people and I guess thats it Some people are great and some are awful but just being a realtive does not change who they are.

  well during our lunch i was complaining about my having braces at 30 and how stupid i looked with them and the 83 year old sisters house we were at told me that i wasted my money on them because the end would be here with 7 years anyway.

  i asked her "do you really think so?

  Did it ever bother you that Watchtower never did charitible works?

  by AK - Jeff in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  i mean, for forty years believing the witness lie it always made me wonder.. judas was the keeper of the money box - and there are statements that indicated that the apostles thought that wasting money that could be used to aid the poor was sinful - so indications are that the earliest christians were doing charitible works.

  of course there are many scriptural passages that encourage that activity among believers.

  today all the organization ever does is pay lip service to charity.

  Yes it did. I used to watch television and see all the aid/charity workers helping in the wars and troubles but you never saw any witnesses. I onced asked why if worldy were so bad that they helped each other. I never did learn to keep my mouth shut.

  To ensure my future, I already loved the guy, but I didn't want my parents as next of kin, also if we seperated I would get 50% (if not more) of all assets.

  I did, not a big lottery just a brand new 4WD car. I sold it hit London 2 weeks later. I trip I did was a 6 month tour of Africa but it was in a truck and sleeping rough. Still I had a ball, and it changed my life forever. Didn't work for couple of years, just travelled.

  What made it sweeter was that I purchased a raffle ticket to win. Ha Ha Ha.
