ScullyRe: Categories of Friendships


This is a valuable list. I'm going to hang on to it, too.

I'd like also to offer an observation regarding the JWs. There were quite a lot of JWs whom I at one time considered to be "real" friends.

I wonder how many of us had those kinds of friendships with other JWs, that were later hindered because of WTS directives regarding loyalty to the organization over friendships within the congregation. It's strange how numbers on a field service report or a person's ability to go through life without questioning their belief system makes someone a better friend than others who don't 'measure up' the same way.

It really is a sad thing that so-called "real" friends allow a few old men living in a far-away place to dictate who can and cannot be their friends. I daresay that if more people practiced Christian love rather than the shunning that's required of JWs against DFd, DAd, and even inactive people or 'bad association' type of people, that you'd eventually have more congregations, and more people wanting to go back. But that doesn't happen, does it?

Love, Scully
