Good for him. His contribution was significant so no one else felt obliged to dip into their own pockets. Nice to know that money was the sole purpose for their visit.

One called by accident 6 months ago and instantly regretted it. It was just after the Royal Commission findings and the elder was woefully ill prepared. -

People are all different. Being a jw doesnt make someone good or bad and neither does someone leaving make them intrinsically good. Many people leave the faith or are thrown out of it and some will be people with values and some will not.

Are JW's allowed to have close non JW friends?
by 007DB1 ini am a non-participating christian who is fully respectful of but never had anything to do with jw.. i have a jw friend who seems to closely follow his jw belief's.
i have met most of his family and friends who all are also jw's.
he says i am his only non-jw good friend.. he is getting married this year to his long time gf and with our recent growing more guarded and distant friendship, i am wondering what is going on?.

You are told to be wary of no n jws. I suspect that he is trying to distance himself because although you are his friend you will not be on the guest list for his wedding. He knows that you may have expectations that you would be invited but he doesnt want to explain why he invited a worldly non relative to the wedding. He would rather avoid the conversation and be distant than fess up that his religion is making him behave like an arse.
You can get rid of the elephant in the room by saying I am happy for you, I know that you may not be able to invite all your friends as family takes priority but I will be thinking of you and hope you enjoy your day.

Mark I would like to suggest that you should not make assumptions about my beliefs since youdo not know from my posts on this thread where I stand. I have said that the questions you ask show a limited understanding of the Bible text. I would read historic posts by leolia who has a breadth of k owledge and understanding of the text which would benefit you greatly

Just as an aside it is perfectly OK not to have formulated an opinion about a specific text taken out of context. We are after all reading the text in translation and outside of the historical context in which it was written. A more appropriate question would be what did the person writing the text mean and what did his contempories think it meant.
It is not OK to ask a question and then use the answer as a stick to beat someone with.

Mark I feel for you and you selective viewpoint which states that you are right and only your interpretation counts. This gives you permission to be rude to people with whom you disagree.
There is more than one perspective and in order to debate you need to listen as well as present your case. I feel that you may currently lack this skill but hope youj rethink your approach.

Everyone is in a process of change and development which does not stop our whole life is a learning process. The fact that you feel uncomfortable about the number of lies you have started telling would indicate that you haven't changed as much as you think. There is no reason why you cannot develop into someone who is known as honest and open but has tact and consideration for others.
Lies can get you into trouble especially if you tell too many, keeping track of them all is a tricky process. If you are in a relationship where you are telling needless lies then perhaps you need to look at this. Good relationships can withstand difficult truths.
