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?
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

i finally figured out why i'm so socially retarded...it just hit me.. here i was sitting and wondering why i have such a hard time meeting new people, making friends, thinking of relevent things to say, and so on.
it really is painful and scary for me.
i was told who i could talk to, who i couldn't talk to, what i could say, what i couldn't say.
Diamondblue - thank you for springing to my defences - true Brit spirit! hehe.
LMAO...yeah right...*puts away batman outfit*
It wasnt just your defences Crumpet, it was a general overall feeling about the post to be honest.
Jez, no offence meant ok? I know I can 'tell it like it is' and in fact more than often do, your experiences are equally valuable and the healthy debate is to be encouraged.
See you round

jw's have a vocabulary and terminology of their own dont they?
i have thought about putting togther an apostaglossary to identify those particular sayings and their true meaning; i have included a few to start the ball rolling;.
'he doesnt have the right heart condition'.
Make the truth your own
Meaning: Ensure that you set up a regular monthly contribution covenant thingy, enroll in the regular pioneer bookselling service, answer up at all the meetings and pretend that you have spent all your spare time preparing your answers; if your a brother suck up to the elders and pray that they might give you privileges jobs to do. If your a sister submit to not just your husband but the body of elders too and obey their every word, even though what they ask you to do and or suggest makes no sense whatsoever and you could do a better job blindfolded.
one of the things that i could never rationalize is the way the jws all claim to believe the same things.
i mean seriously, you can't get 4 people to decide on dinner!
how are you going to get 6 million to agree on countless and everchanging doctrinal pronouncements.
Everyone has their wedge, lever or buttons to press....you just have to find em
I need to lie down...
Yeah me too...Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
why is it that a jw is considered "spiritually sick" by the elders and the members of the congregation, if he suddenly decides to stop going to meetings and doesn't see eye to eye with the organization anymore?.
i see people who belong to other faiths, and are very active and seem spiritually healthy, even though they don't believe in what jw's teach.. .
i've been told by elders, that i was "spiritually sick".
Nah not spiritually sick....just sick...
you wake up one morning and see that the last few years of your life is nothing more than a vivid dream.
you check a desk calander and realise that it's your baptism date.
your mom is calling asking you to wake up and get ready for the assembly...... .
