YES! That's right! If you are excommunicated, a.k.a. disfellowshipped, from the organization, you are a victim of a pagan practice!
How do I know this? The FAITHFUL AND DISCREET SLAVE has said so!
Awake 1/8/47 Are You Also Excommunicated?
(Excommunication) is a “canon law” which the Roman Catholic Hierarchy seeks to enforce on the pretext that it is God’s law. The authority for excommunication, they claim, is based on the teachings of Christ and the apostles, as found in the following scriptures: Matthew 18:15-19; 1 Corinthians 5:3-5, 16, 22; Galatians 1:8, 9; 1 Timothy 1:20; Titus 3:10. But the Hierarchy’s excommunication, as a punishment and “medicinal” remedy (Catholic Encyclopedia), finds no support in these scriptures. In fact, it is altogether foreign to Bible teachings. – Hebrews 10:26-31
Where did this practice begin? The Encyclopedia Britannica says that papal excommunication is not without pagan influence, “and its variations cannot be adequately explained unless account be taken of several non-Christian analogues of excommunication.” The superstitious Greeks …. Even the Druids had a method of expelling those who lost faith in their religious superstitions. It was therefore after Catholicism adopted its pagan practices, A.D. 325, that this new chapter in religious excommunication was written.
Thereafter, as the pretensions of the Hierarchy increased, the weapon of excommunication became the instrument by which the clergy attained a combination of ecclesiastical power and secular tyranny that finds no parallel in history.
