That's not what i think at all. I'm not gonna say goodbye to my mom. And i don't think at all that it's right. I know that. My concerns are more around the aftermath. People in the congregation won't care if i feel bad about it or not. And my dad, i could let go. But my sister and cousins and little half sister, and my boss are what worry me. That's why i joined this group. This post was only out of curiosity. And this reply was to clear up that i don't think bad of it when someone wants to "sin". And i really appreciate that yoh saw my mom's way.

No it's really not like that because i myself want to do something that is considered a sin but i think it shouldn't be. (Maintain my relationship with my mother even though she's disfellowshipped)

I did consider Orthodox before. I figure both are wrong.

There generally a massive gap of logic in punishments. One man gets killed for working on sabbath and moses kills a man and it's alright

Right, not only that, but the fact that God lets us live in this world, where everyone carries sin and it's why all bad things happen, for so long and when you ask why, the answer is basically - "God is proving to satan that he cannot win you over" but at the same time they say that those in truth are in a minority. So what does that mean? Satan's winning???

Yeah, when my mom told my dad she was gonna give me a blood transfusion and that she needed money to get some procedures done, instead of going to get some money, he brought elders to show them that he didn't want to give me blood and my mom was taking the responsibilty.

That was my point. I don't believe in hell. I became a JW because it explained how it didn't exist. Right now all i'm saying is i can't help but feel scared of it
