So are my JW friends really my friends - or not?

by BonaFide in

i am being investigated judicially, although weeks are going by without the elders saying anything to me about it.

i still comment and give my talks.. anyway, some of my friends are getting word about me being investigated, some in my family too.

a couple i used to preach with every week no longer call me and bug me to join them.

The friendship they offer you is conditional, i think you are finding that out as time goes on. I'm also sorry to say that the love and friendship you had for your brother was also conditional. You may have felt in your heart that you were doing the right thing, i am also sure deep down that you did love your brother, but it is only now that you are offering your brother unconditional love and friendship.

If you were ever to leave the 'truth' and you began to experience friendships with so called 'worldly' people, you will begin to see the difference between real friends and conditional friends.

Just my thoughts.

Any toyota mechanics here? Urgent question

trying to replace an oil pan gasket on a 1992 3.0 6 cyl.

two came in the package, do you need to use one or both?

digderidoo

I used to be a quality assessor at the UK's Toyota factory.

Although i can tell you where every spot weld is on the Avensis and Corolla i know nothing of gaskets.

If anyone wants to buy a Lexus don't until you PM me first. They are just Toyota's in drag, ran down the same line and everything.

Are you Racist?

by Warlock in

jw

well, are you?.

warlock .

I am not a racist but i am prejudiced.

I believe everyone is prejudice, it makes it easier for us to define people or draw a conclusion on someone. Whereas racism is all about acting on those prejudices.

Some people say that to be racist you have to be the one with the power, this leads some to say that minorities cannot be racist, interesting and debateable.

I can see what BTS means that race is a social construct, in turn racism is a social construct. It doesn't mean however that it does not exist.

Ultimately it should be realised, "that there is no race except the human race."

Do JW's reveal all their doctrines to those they study the Bible with?

by BonaFide in

yes, the fairly new bible teach book contains some info in the appendix, but do witnesses include that in the study?.

digderidoo

All i can say is that i knew all these issues before i got baptised. I would have thought many know about Judicial Commitees, etc.
