  Who shuns you?

  by Dawn in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  after reading a number of posts it sounds like most of you have been shunned even by your immediate family members (parents, brothers, sisters)after you were df'd.. i am shunned by my sister-in-law - but she's it out of the entire family.

  my uncle, brothers, mother, and father (an elder before he passed away) all continued to associate with me - we even go out to dinners together.. so here's my question - is my family the minority?

  i thought that only non-family members had to shun you but family was ok as long as they don't discuss spiritual issues.

  this keeps happening to me, and i want to know if i need to seek professional help?

  is this normal?

  since i da'd, i became a christian, and now everytime i go into hearfelt prayer or even worse, the couple of times i actually went to "an apostate" church and sing songs of praise, i start bawling like a baby.

  2. friends

  i should clarify, i am new at posting, not new to the board.. i've been checking in for a short time now.

  "spying", "lurking", whatever you would like to call it.

  but i thought it was time to come out of the "first closet" i've been in for more than 20 years.

  when i went to mass last sunday, as i walked in there was a stack of leaflets with a message from the cardinal about pedophiles in the church!

  i thought it was great.

  can you imagine how you would feel if you went in to a kh and there was a copy ray franz's book for everyone?

  If you were a GB member how would you reply?

  by sleepy in

  if you were a gb member how would you reply to this letter?.

  i am writing in reply to your letter of the 22 nov 2001.. i had previously written with concern over some statements found in the aug 1, 2001 watchtower pg 14 which stated, a mature christian does not advocate or insist on personal opinions or harbour private ideas when it comes to bible understanding.

  you asked me not to take the statement out of context, but failed to explain clearly how i had done so.. it is my understanding that it is believed that the governing body of jehovahs witnesses has the sole responsibility and is the sole channel that can understand and teach gods message in the bible.

  Who will go to heaven?

  by misty in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i know that jw's say only 144,000. however, i just read a book called "as time runs out" by robert jeffress and he claims that all christians who have received jesus will be picked up at the rapture.

  but, he says, we will not all have the same rank in heaven.

  he claims that different responsibilities will be assigned.

  No ressurection?

  by radar in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  let us eat and drink for tomorrow we are to die!.

  this is how the apostle paul responded to some who were saying in his day, there is no resurrection.

  obviously from this reasoning, there was confusion amongst some as to what actually happens at death.. greek philosophy, which led some people, such as the epicureans, to lead a life of pleasure, was obviously apparent during that christian time period.
