Swami said:

"WWJD - what would Jesus do?" is a question that Christians are supposed to ask themselves when making difficult moral decisions.

Such modeling sounds like a good idea except for two things: the results show no large-scale difference from non-WWJDers in such matters as war, divorce, wife-beating, alcoholism, unwed pregnancy and so forth.

The one can not be compared to the many. You are talking about the decisions of one. Not the results of the many

How can an untrained follower with less insight know as much of the possible ramifications of any action as that of a master? Answer: he / she cannot.

One learns WWJD by reading what Jesus did. By study and application of what Jesus did to ones own life. That is how Swami

I am a novice tennis player. When in the middle of a rally, if I asked myself what would Federer do, will my game improve? No, not even slightly. I need skills and understanding and practice. Modeling after experts in any field takes work, study and discipline; not a momentary reflection.

I think you have answered yourself here and as with everything one must start at the start

The pedophilac priest who spots a handsome young alter boy and asks WWJD is likely to answer according to his own nature.

Exactly, and this man did not ask WWJD did he?

So what is your point ? That asking WWJD is a waste of time ? Asking what the master would do is a very very wise action........ Isn't it ?

One does not become a master tennis player by never asking questions ?

If one was not to "ask of" the masters of this world one would be a arrogant failure.

One becomes as one asks. One learns as one views. One grows on the roots of others. One becomes one with the masters or..........

one stays as one



When you ask the masters you are not one but more
