"We must hate (the Disfellowshipped person) in the truest sense, which is to regard with extreme active aversion, to consider (the Disfellowshipped person) as loathsome, odious, filthy, to detest." (The Watchtower October 1st 1952 Issue, Page 599)
------------------------------------"In the case of where a father or mother or son or daughter is disfellowshiped, how should such person be treated by members of the family in their family relationship?"
"We are not living today among theocratic nations where such members of our fleshly family relationship could be exterminated for apostasy from God and his theocratic organization, as was possible and was ordered in the nation of Israel in the wilderness of Sinai and in the land of Palestine. "Thou shalt surely kill him; thy hand shall be first upon him to put him to death, and afterwards the hand of all the people. And thou shalt stone him to death with stones, because he hath sought to draw thee away from Jehovah thy God, . . . And all Israel shall hear, and fear, and shall do no more any such wickedness as this is in the midst of thee."-Deut. 13:6-11, AS."
"Being limited by the laws of the worldly nation in which we live and also by the laws of God through Jesus Christ, we can take action against apostates only to a certain extent, that is, consistent with both sets of laws."

And in the "new system," who knows that they don't plan to reinstate execution of "wrongdoers."

That's very strange....I've been DAd for a while now. My dad won't even look at me, and yet, in the last few weeks, I've had four JWs crossing me in the street, looking at me with a big friendly smile, a wave and an ethusiastic greeting!! Crazy world....

On the site where I put up the video of the elder lying in court someone responded that these quotes don't exist and aren't talking about apostates, but rather, nazis of something ludicrous. Is there a way to post this on that site?Thanks.
