Yes, yes, in technical terms, in mathematics way of explanation we can say that. If one potato living basket he is not part of that basket. But he is still potato grew up in the same pot/peace of soil and got the attributes of his family. So practicality, spiritually and by genetic he is part of that very family. If they don't want talk to each other that is their problem. Such "detail" (about their dis-functionality) is not reason to reject the indisputable fact how they belong to each other by blood. And have all legal and human obligations to each other by the both laws, God's and Terrestrial. :))) One of fundamental law is to have conversation. And NOT to ignoring other by silence. Ok, when you are angry you will not speak for awhile, but angry must stop before sun goes down, :)))))) Bible said, haha -
What If Everyone Who Ever Lived Was Resurrected?
Srecko Sostar replied to Jack Ryan's topic in Jehovah’s Witnesses's Topics
"But when grace is shown to the wicked, they do not learn righteousness; even in a land of uprightness they go on doing evil and do not regard the majesty of the Lord." - Is. 26:10 It is strange to connect this Isaiah verse with “I have hope toward God . . . that there is going to be a resurrection of both the righteous and the unrighteous.”—Act 24:15. I wonder how it is even possible that wicked will be in 1000 years Kingdom?? By surviving Armageddon or by resurrection!?!? 1) JWorg say how "only" JW and people who support JHVH (sheep like ones) will survive Armageddon. 2) JWorg teach how (based on Act 24:15) unrighteous people will resurrect too. Unrighteous NOT Wicked. So, conclusion is that wicked ones will not be present in 1000 years Kingdom. It is very, very big difference do you only/just unrighteous or do you wicked !!!!!!! Something is wrong with explanation in Paradise book (Live forever) and implementation of Isaiah verses in that context.  What do you think?    -
What If Everyone Who Ever Lived Was Resurrected?
Srecko Sostar replied to Jack Ryan's topic in Jehovah’s Witnesses's Topics
If you like to hear what i mean then it is this; If all people will be resurrect, then also all problems (heritage) that follows (were followed) life of every single resurrected person will come back to existence too. all :)) and all :(( will take place too If somebody thinks, "when Kingdom come, 1000 years get start and all will be without problem",...he have a problem. In transition process that will last 1000 years, if you believe, from imperfect to perfect condition... Who and What and Why will save you from Your mistakes, from wrong decisions, from sinful inclination and similar? Do you really think how life without satan's influence will mean that population will not create problems in many life fields? Do you thing how God and angels will intervene in every of your and other people wrong move?? Do you think they will be willing to do that "tomorrow", but they are not willing to do that "today"?? -
Thanks! So, according to your respond, can we tell how Bible said nothing specific about; is taking own life sin or braking some god's law or braking some secular law? Talking about WT opinion, would be advisable even to go to funeral and to go and give a speech making this thing (suicide) as something shameful, to be judge as inappropriate act of person, and maybe to "mark" family as not appropriate society for community. As you see, in my opinion, it is not of such matter Would person who committed suicide be resurrected, but, would /will family, friends and JW congregation show comfort, understanding, compassion and love to those who live!?

If we want to answer the question in the title, we may also need to answer to this (as first/primary question or as dual question, together with this in title): What is the difference in whether a person takes life to another man or takes life to himself?
-
"He is not the God of the dead, but of the living, for to him all are alive.” If looking from this point perhaps they not need resurrection (in a interpretation that is common to this point of understanding) , because they are alive to HIM already/now. Or they will be in some way and meaning and some kind of fulfillment. :))) problem coming because so many verses exist in The Holy Book

Why John Butler Left Jehovah's Witnesses
Srecko Sostar replied to Anna's topic in Jehovah’s Witnesses's Topics
Why you do not believe JB? Think he is not sincere or he not done his homework well enough...in compare to your research? If JB has more then one reason for leaving WTJW it is also ok. Perhaps he will tell us that also when he will be ready to tell. You Anna also doing research, i see that. Why you have different conclusion, it is up to you. :)) -
This is very common attribute in JW circle that some JW like to apply on each other. How many ambassadors serving in one foreign land? One i think. So for today World Jesus need only cca 238 (https://www.cia.gov/library/publications/the-world-factbook/rankorder/2119rank.html) ambassadors to represent Jesus Kingdom. Or WT can build 238 Betel for each country, and with some number of stuff working there you need some 2380-7140 people who will support Kingdom interest before devil worldly kings, presidents and dictators. All other Kingdom population can do something but can not be ambassadors. What all Kingdom people can do, and have do is to PRAY, or as verse say, to SUPPLICATE for each other and for unbelievers. :))

well said! This sentence said the same thing, as one Bible scripture, what in fact, is going on; “The Evil One controls the whole world.”—1 John 5:19. nwt and all religions too. WTJWorg is not exempt. If somebody want to claim how WTJWorg is not under satan influence then he/she not believe in this Bible premise/statement/conclusion. From time to time, people are hurting each other. Some solve it by talking, some with a quarrel, some with silence. All these methods are known to the human spirit. If our friend stopped talking to someone, maybe we would stop talking as well. Is this good or not, we can discuss, but it happened. On other hand, as you highlighted, shunning on command is out of mind. But if someone is Lloyd's close friend .......:)))) But hey, where is unity then ??:)))))

very interesting experiences to hear from you and others here.
-
Thanks for respond. But i am not sure do you support idea that family members are stopped to be bond/connected with family bonds/ties, blood if they go to live somewhere else?? This idea promoted by WT not sound reasonable, not have common sense, and in fact generated what you very well described as; "it would become a dysfunctional family unit"
-
hahaha, i am proof for this. I left JWorg and wife is in silence about almost all in cong. Just this morning she and one other sister (have no clue who she is, name, nothing) went to Zadar (town on Adriatic coast), for preaching in distance field service, some 290 km from Zagreb. So i have one week of freedom :)))))))))))) and cooking for myself, cleaning, watering plants, doing home works, painting, gardening and many other things ....... ahahahaahaa family ties continue :)))))))

With all due respect to you Anna, i must, not to You, but to WT who gave such instructions tell this; All that "models" who living where is so Stupid!! Do somebody living under same roof, under same roof but on second or fifth floor, in another house but in the same courtyard, in same courtyard but owner of both house is JW, or owner is dfd JW, in same street or in same city, village, .........etc. I sound stupid to myself because making so many variables. Don't you think the same Anna? And WT doing exactly The Same Thing!!
-
You are saying that indeed, and I am sorry you got that impression because the GB don't view themselves that way. So what gives you that impression? Well Anna, i see that in this way. Perhaps it is true how GB nowhere say this in such way and by that your impression is correct. But answer on the question, "Do GB view themselves in that way, as "substitution for" Jesus?" is something that in private conversation will be interesting to hear. And then our "impression" would/will be more clear. Therefore, we are ambassadors+ substituting for Christ,+ as though God were making an appeal through us. As substitutes for Christ, we beg: “Become reconciled to God.” - 2. Cor. 5:20 nwt In Interlinear Translation (by WT) there is Greek word translated with "we are supplicating over Christ". supplicate see definition of supplicate verb ask for, pray for Synonyms for supplicate verb ask for, pray for appeal beg beseech desire petition pray seek solicit put in for Well, how NWT Translation came from supplicate to substitute???? The word supplication is directly related to the simple verb for “to bind” (Matthew 18:18). Wherever you encounter the term “supplication,” it is presenting to us that kind of prayer where we come to the Lord and move into the dimension of controlling by the power of God that which is uncontrollable by human power. - source from web

WT magazine quote: "The religious ties he had with his family change, but blood ties remain. The marriage relationship and normal family affections and dealings continue." source: https://www.jw.org/en/jehovahs-witnesses/faq/shunning/ WT and JW members having real problem that coming to be bigger and bigger with every day. Training Video on JWorg Convention very clear highlighted important point/lesson for JW members, when mum not want to respond on dfd daughter phone call (this act has been presented (showed) as role model that is need to be imitate). Also, there is/are more examples in publications and in public talks in congregations to support what is going on. So, it is question; What GB means when say - "blood ties remain and normal family affections and dealings continue."??? What is "normal family affection" in this ???? when mum not want pick up phone to her flesh and blood?????!!!!! I am so hurt when see this hypocrisy (not because my family not want speak with me), but because i feel the pain that is inside those (ex) JW people rejected by their families and friends!! because of WT policy.

“Whoever drinks from the water that I will give him will never get thirsty at all, but the water that I will give him will become in him a fountain of water bubbling up to impart everlasting life.”—JOHN 4:14. nwt This morning i found post on my g+. And inside picture someone put this verse. And some sort of idea, "new light" came to my stupid head. WT explaining that according to verses in Bible "faithful and discreet slave" is: 10 Who, then, is the faithful and discreet slave? That slave is made up of a small group of anointed brothers who directly prepare and give out spiritual food during Christ’s presence. https://wol.jw.org/en/wol/d/r1/lp-e/402013533 Well, according to Jesus, His Water will become Fountain in YOU, as single person. If You drinks from His Water You became source for spiritual truth, food, water. By this verse in John something is very wrong in WT explanation how only "small group of anointed BROTHERS" (not sisters) aka GB are the only one who giving food, water that leads to Life. PS Jesus told to Samaritan woman this words about source and water and life. He offered her to drink this everlasting water and as result of that, she will become source of water (without need to go to "fds" for spiritual food). Mutual encourage and sharing of this fountain water is not under restriction or obligation inside particular organized religion requirements .

Hi! Video i found today is interesting about this subject - "shunning" and family members. Â
-
sharing feelings? :))) feelings can be "dangerous", very, and if you share such "dangerous" feeling to so called trusted confidant it can turn into an even bigger problem than the one you are already in with your "trouble felling" in your deceitful, sensitive, wounded heart.
-
appendix: I'm wondering if any of you know the answer to the question. Did the video/videos be watched separately, by group of - men, women, married, unmarried or some other combination in the audience?
-
agree! On other hand, if video belong to category called "spiritual food in proper time", then it would be of general benefit for all JW membership, not just for selected audience in The House.

People run WT business for more than 100 years. Whoever takes place on governing position must run WT Company. Company (Board of directors or however else they are called) have responsibility to those who have their interests (shares) in it.
-
Yes, OK. I mean in regard to what you said; "In any Corporation, the ONLY way to correct things that are seriously wrong, is to fire those responsible."
-
What do you think? Can an individual or organization possessing the truth?
-
What do you think? Are the members of the governing body the owners of some shares of WTBTS or any other sister company ?
