Thanks Weana , good info too - I will pass the info on to him that this is indeed a strange reason, seeing that you did bring out that even visitors can make comments, as well as unbaptized persons - could be something for them to chew on ..
Patience is indeed a virtue - but when one is trying so hard, it is taxing to say the least and sometimes he has gone over the top in presenting his case
thanks again
I can't comment at a meeting but I can convert someone at the door.
Never Understood that.
We had a 14 yr girl who was pregnant.......... lost her the right to comment, but went out on service........
Fine EXAMPLE of Bible Morality.
CL -- the strange thing is that most of the lesson is done but sometimes a good point is made and tagged or noted for future reference and they are taking it as not pre studying the lesson
I know I do it, as do others in the cong.. so I am just trying to dig into the reason why it would even be mentioned.. I think JW is on the right trail...
At the end of the day, if it made sense they wouldn't be a cult.
Weana_ would it make any difference if the reinstated one was a male or female s regards treatment of this kind? I know mikes and public prayers would not entere into it, but ust curious..
I've never understood why restrictions are imposed. Please show me the scripture that says someone can't comment but can preach to others? Restrictions seem like petty revenge. It's like they are trying to crush the spirit of someone already crushed by their own conscience. Does anyone have any quotes that explain why restrictions are needed?(from WTBS viewpoint)
B447 -
You hit the nail on the head with that comment -he is feeling so down now - worked so hard to get back, went thru hell and now this from the loving, kind, epathetic (pathetic) brothers who are to follow Christ's example -- he is ready to move to another cong.. and that would be so sad.. yet I believe he would still have to deal with the elders in this cong before receiving all priviledges back.. and would they smear him there?? I think I would call for another committee to handle the situation, if they were to intefer - or does that have to be done only after dis f??
truthlover, I'd recommend that he move anyway. It's tough, because it would be nice not to have restrictions follow you around. However in the long run it might be better, because if they have it in for him there anyway, odds are he can't fare any worse somewhere else.
B447--
thanks for the info
Thank u all - I also ran a check on the search menu for anything and got a copy of the 91 Flock book -- so I think I will be able to give some rounded out info now - without tellng where I got it, that is !!
They always will accept door knockers
