Do you think family members shunning each other over religious matters is OK if you do it?
Originally posted by galveston75 I'm not sad or depressed about anything. In fact I'm a very happy person and I'm very happy about my life. So you really don't have a clue on that issue.
You've just used the Titanic as an analogy for the end of the world being nigh: and you are "a very happy person and [...] very happy about [your] life"?

I don't shun any of my family members for their religious beliefs. They sun me and my family that are JW's just as Jesus said they would do.
I know where your going with this and if anyone is praticing a serious and gross sin such as homosexulaity, I am ordered by God in the Bible to limit my association with them as family members.
Not my rules but God's. I agree with those rules.

Your OP asks "what Christians here have given up to serve Jesus". It's actually a good OP, but you have ballzed it up by turning into your personal persecution board.
Galveston, what have you, personally, actually given up in order to serve Jesus?

You bet....... I can't wait for God and his son to get ride of wickedness and all that it implies.

So you see yourself as a victim of shunning? But all the shunning advocated and orchestrated by JWs and JW groups is just and proper?

I'm a humble servant of Jesus and have followed his commands. He said not to live a life of pursueing riches and to be content with only what is needed to survive.
I was in the top of my classes in High School in drafting and architecture and had a very promising outlook in that field if I wanted to follow that and go to collage and other schooling. My teacher pushed me as much as possible in that direction as was humanly possible.
I choose not to, but to be a teacher of the Bible to those who want to learn. I have been very happy with the decision I made many years ago.
Yeah I felt I could probably be making tons of $$$$$$ and be behind many pretty buildings and houses being built on the planet, but I felt teaching others of God and what the bright future the earth will truly be one day for them was a little more important.
How's that for ya?

It depends on the situation and you know that. Well maybe you don't. Must not huh?
