We both know a couple that have been inactive for almost a decade. This week they were disfellowshipped because someone had seen Christmas decorations
on their home LAST YEAR! a decade they have been gone and the elders track them down and disfellowship them. Their reasoning? They are both prominent in the community
and as such the congregation could not tolerate their "blatant" display of paganism.
I told my wife that this was a tactic of power. That the WTS care nothing about sin or repentance. They are there to teach you who is boss and will do anything they can to
destroy your familial relationships and friendhsips. It is not about recovering a sinner, but punishing any who dare to leave. They are not CHRISTIAN! I then went on to tell her
about the sex abuse settlements. She said absolutely nothing. She had no answer, no rebuttle. I spoke facts. I did not argue doctrine.
I hate these people. WTF going after a family who has been away for 10 years? These guys are evil. I truely am disgusted.
