Would you love your family, even if?

Question

They were Jehovahs Witnesses? Its harder than it sounds, I promise.

Witnesses will try to convert and preach to anyone who will listen, and sometimes those that wont.

Answer 1

i would love them from a distance, possibly in a different state or country.

Answer 2

Hi Tiff,

Give it all away, the world is going to end...
Yes I am affraid I would, however I have meet a few Jehovahs Witnesses and you have to be firm with them. And yes it can be dammed near impossible because they are so close to fanatics on religion it sucks ...

Only, family and friends are that and no matter you must love them and try to be there for them.

Answer 3

Yes, as they are my family; Love isn't love if you discriminate.

I have had JW's as friends. But it is a senstive issue, as our beliefs are different, and they could get into trouble for talking to me, about those beliefs [as a friend, instead of under the premise of trying to convert me] whereas i am not in trouble for talking to them.
My family has a lot of religions in it. Catholic, Christian, Athiest, Jewish etc. My sisters grandmother converted from Catholicism to JW a long time ago. We are not close though. When she used to come for visits she and i would have some interesting debates. [all in respect though]. My dad was catholic, but was into a lot of religions at one point, everything from scientology to budhisim and so on, although he was still essentially catholic. And he prayed to God.
I am christian and was raised as such, but i am always willing to hear other people out, even if i disagree with their beliefs; and i am always respectful.
But, yes, i would agree with you, sometimes it is difficult, but then, love isn't love if it's conditional. ♥

*edit* pimpsters answer was good! Very True!
*edit* tigger: Baptist and Methodist are not seperate religions. They are different denominations of Church, but are the same reiligion.

Answer 4

No!
I have a few neighbors that are Jehovahs Witnesses and their always trying to convert me and my sister into that!
It's annoying!
They can't respect the fact that I'm Catholic and I want to stay Catholic!
(Even though I really don't belive in all of the Catholic beliefs!)

Answer 5

No my family is all drug addicts or dead. I don't care for them as it is, would be 10 times worse if they were some crazed religion too. Tho am sure that finding a higher power is one of the 12 steps so preachin is probably in my near future. If one of them decides to sober up that is.

Answer 6

Nope, but I don't have to worry about that. My mom already decided she'd be a Morman before she would be a Jehovah Witness.

Answer 7

I know what you mean,
my cousin is christian, the constant preaching gets tiresome,
for some reason they feel they are closer to God than anyone else, yet some don't feel they have to change their way of live to be christian.
but I do love her...

God Bless ;-p

Answer 8

I would always love them, but I would get the point across that I have my own beliefs, and do not try to push yours on me. If they had a prob with it, then I'd tell them that until they respect my beliefs, I will no longer be available to them.

Answer 9

Yes of course

Answer 10

Matters not the religion, Family is still Family!
We were raised Baptist, My eldest sis transitioned to Methodist. Me, I do not cater to one particular religion. I do attend Sis' Church when I visit her out of respect.

Answer 11

I don't know...but I do know that my granddaughters...grandfather is a Jehovahs witness and he has no relationship with his family...sad really
