yeah? well that's a good point you make, GFS- but what about if someone SAYS they aren't in for the social, but yet act like it? How are you going to tell if that person isn't in your hall, and you only seem them at social events? And you KNOW they are going to get all defensive and attack you if you point out anything to them...come on people, think more about these answers you're giving me.
haha, this is one of the funniest things i've ever read. because no matter what answer you give, you can refute it. you're kinda like the pharasees... always trying to trap jesus, except that none of us are smart enough to reverse what you are saying and turn it into a power bomb on YOU!
I think i wrapped it up in my other comment though, you shouldn't judge people's spirituality. but if you feel that hanging around them is having a negative affect on YOUR spirituality, then unless you like the sound of the words "second death," i suggest you keep away. because friendship with one person isnt worth sacrificing your everlasting life for, especially when there are so many good people in Jehovah's organization to be friends with
yeah you pharesee scum dont make me try to chop you up with my sword!
"you shouldn't judge people's spirituality. but if you feel that hanging around them is having a negative affect on YOUR spirituality" [...] then you shouldn't hang with them
that's exactly right, and i think it's the best attitude to hold.
thanks ian! nice job paraphrasing! ;)
yer all SERPANTS! OFFSPRING OF VIPERS!
I think you show your spirituality in day to day things, what is important in your life. For example someone could profess to be really spiritual, answering up, pioneering etc but we don't know what they do it their own homes or they are doing it, in part, for recognition and praise.
Therefore i think they to know if someone is really spiritual you need to talk to them, be around them and see how they react to situations that arise in their lives.
If they do something you dont like you can either talk to them about it, there may be a reason, or cut yourself off from them
Its one big learning curve i think we've all been through it and are still on it, see for yourselves what people are, dont judge them on other peoples opinions
But remember most importantly not to look for splinters, where you have your very own rafters!
