What's the purpose of restrictions after reinstatement?
by truthseeker inthe parable of the prodigal son.
i will set out and go back to my father and say to him: father, i have sinned against heaven and against you.
" "my son," the father said, "you are always with me, and everything i have is yours.

This is a little off topic...
But...when you said....
In the parable of the prodigal son, the application here is that if someone sins, and repents, they can receive God's mercy and forgiveness of sins. The father mentioned in the parable said that "we had to celebrate" when explaining the position to his other son.
How do we know he repented? Is it because he admitted it?

GET INTOUCH WITH YOUR FAMILY DAY
by tijkmo in.
there has been a number of discussions lately about not just accepting being shunned by family so i was thinking why not set aside a yearly day to get in touch with family...send a card,text,email to parents and siblings etc not saying anything controversial...just being nice..saying we miss them we love them and anytime they want to meet or write or visit they would be more than welcome..it other words dont treat them like they treat you..do you think that it is a good idea...if so reply here but also spread the word.....if this has been suggested before please excuse me...im new to the world.
lets make it 10th of may every year...dont think there are any other holidays on that date

I think it's a great idea too. I have been wanting to do this for awhile, but don't even know how to start. It's been sooo long, I don't even know really know them. And they certaintly don't know me. What do I write about?
I do have lots of new grandbaby pictures....I thought about putting together a scrap book and sending that too them, with some journaling on the side.

Making contact with family
by Crumpet insome of you may know that my parents and whole family do not have any contact with me, apart from my dad who has provided his mobile number for "family business/emergencies".
i never try to contact them anymore after a negative experience after being beaten up trying to break up a streetfight last november when i called my dad and he hung up as soon as he realised it was me crying on the other end.. .
anyway - i decided that just because they want to forget about me i don't have to be the same anymore and i wanted them to know how happy i was.

What a great idea...hmmm...it's been years since I've spoken to my parents. My dad said I was dead to him.
My daugher has 3 children that my parents haven't met. Maybe I'll send a letter and some pictures. But I think I will be hurt if I don't get a response.
Let us know if they get in contact with you.

Commenting
by DocHayes inwhat type of commenter where you?.
where you the one who answered the question word, for word from the paragraph?.
where you the little kiss @$$ who would more or less read the answer verbatum, but would also tie in a scripture?.

When I was disfellowshipped...The elder told me that they would not be ending the JC meeting with a prayer....and that there was no need for me to pray any longer, because Jehovah would not be listening to my prayers.
