Hi Angelica:
What DOES the elder book say?
From page 92:
"Wrongdoing is incresing in frequency and in depravity; such can infiltrate and affect the Christian congregation. (2 Tim 3:1-5, 13; Jude 3,4,11-13)
The Scriptures clearly show that Jehovah forbids certain conduct among his clean people; brothers need to uphold Jehovah's righteous standards regarding the following:
From page 95:
Obscene speech (Eph. 5:3-5; Col 3:8)
Failure to abstain from blood (Gen 9:4; Acts 15:20, 28,29)
Greed - gambling extortion (1 Cor 5:10, 11; 6:10; 1 Tim. 3:8 it-1 pp. 1005-6)
This however has been amended by a letter which has been read, but not distributed. Willful acceptance of a forbidden blood component is considered an act of voluntary disassociation. This is really a distinction without a difference, as disassociated individuals are treated the same as disfellowshipped ones.
