disfellowshippng, despite the good samaritan thing.
The apostles taught to remove one who is non-repentant, one who continues to practive lawlessness. Also those in a postion as an elder in the congregation. One who judges another will be judged also. The elders are not commanded to judge their brothers whom they teach are they?
I had doubts most of my life. I was a good little lemming and dismissed them. The last straw was when my son died the utter lack of love my family and I received. The utter lack of love was topped off my an elder that told me that even though my sons death was terrible, "at least you can wait 'till the new system to have kids. That's what the bible says" or something like that. It's only now that I'm finding about the other stuff.
Ditto to everything said on this thread, but mostly the hipocrasy. Love your neighbor, we'll hate you !
One thursday meeting a prominent elder in the cong. said we should all make a special attempt to go out on service the following Saturday. Put preaching ahead of any personal things you need to do.
So, Saturday morning as I am walking with my companion, we turn the corner onto the street where the Elder lives(d). Guess who is packing their SUV with a picnic basket, beach ball and all the other supplies for a day at the shore ? Yep, you guessed.
Sunday I went to the KH, stayed for 5 minutes and then I just could not control my feet from taking action and escorting me out. Never have been back.
