by AK - Jeff 7 Replies latest watchtower bible
I have almost quit caring about this stuff - but I saw a scan somewhere of a 'Preface' or 'Forward' to a new WTS pub, that slammed DA persons pretty hard. I think that reading this infomation might be the reason that my cousin [also my absolute best friend for 35 years] has now elected to stop any contact with me. I would like to confirm the info and disect it a bit.
Can anyone tell me what book I saw, and whether it is out there somewhere for dl ?
Jeff
This might be it. Keep Yourselves in God's Love" this is excerpt from the book
DISFELLOWSHIPED RELATIVES NOT LIVING AT HOME
18 The second situation that we need to consider is that involving a disfellowshiped
or disassociated relative who is not in the immediate family circle or living at one's
home. Such a person is still related by blood or marriage, and so there may be some
limited need to care for necessary family matters. Nonetheless, it is not as if he were
living in the same home where contact and conversation could not be avoided. We
should keep clearly in mind the Bible's inspired direction: "Quit mixing in company
with anyone called a brother that is a fornicator or a greedy person . . . , not even
eating with such a man."—
1 Cor. 5:11
.
Just don't try and tell the elders that your relative is neither a fornicator or a greedy person.
Somewhere on this forum there is a PDF link for this book. I tried the search feature for you but I was unable to locate it. Sorry.
Scroll fown to Yknot and there you will find it

Half the dubs that are called "in good standing" are fornicators and greedy bastards.
