    GOSSIPING ABOUT SOMEONE'S PERSONAL ISSUES

    That one is definitely selectively enforced. BOE's, wives of elders/MS's, pioneers, all of 'em
    gossip.

    A WIFE SHOWING SUBMISSION BY ATTENTING MEETINGS AND SHARING IN FIELD MINISTRY WITH HER HUSBAND

    So now wives are not allowed to skip meetings and service if the husband isn't skipping them.
    Women are really second-class rank-and file members. Maybe we should mark the wives who
    aren't perfect servants and playthings at home.

    ASSOCIATING WITH A DISFELLOWSHIPPED CHILD AND NOT AGREEING WITH THE DECISION THE ELDERS MADE ABOUT THE CHILD'S DISFELLOWSHIPING.

    We are the leaders. Our henchmen, the elders- must be obeyed. How dare a mother associate
    with someone she gave birth to.

    I think that if they disfellowship this lady, she and her husband might leave the WT organization.
    Marking might get her or at least the husband to stay, and keep some folks from listening to
    their rhetoric.

    Dear Tallman,

    WELCOME to the forum!!

    Marking? I choose to leave the judging up to Jesus.

    Sincerely,

    It's just another way to control people in the congregations. Whatever they can't fit into the categories of disfellowshipping or public reproof, they can always go to door # 3, marking.

    It's pretty much cowardly and is comparable to gossip.

    The reason that I say that it is cowardly is because it is a subtle way of making someone in the congregation a pariah without ever having the courage to confront them or getting all the facts straight.

    It's gossip because you are issuing an edict without knowing all the facts.

    any individual who took the step of marking another in the cong would not have any social interaction with the one marked...

    but they also took upon themselves the responsibility of helping the marked one spiritually..

    yeah like that ever happened
