Man that took a large pair of balls to say that. Good on you. But there really was no argument.

Well done, you have caught them in their circular reasoning. -

Utter respect OFS!
Wish I'd been there - I'd have recorded it. Great answer, and brilliant to hear how you counselled the inept & ill-informed elder.
Even on my monthly cover-visit to the KH, I no longer give any answers. I want them all to continue viewing me as "spiritually weak."

P.S.
This is the exact wording on the web site -
“If, however, a baptized Witness makes a practice of breaking the Bible’s moral code and does not repent, he or she will be shunned or dis-fellowshipped.”
Can anyone - especially elders or active J.W.'s - explain to me what the wording "shunned or disfellowshipped" means?
Is the Org too afraid to tell the truth and say "shunned and disfellowshipped"?
I've never heard of a directive from the Org which says that one can be done without the other!

The conjunction through "or" in this usage serves to better define "shunned" in that another word "disfellowshipped" equally exemplifies it. -

I don't know how you do it. In my case, just being there with them and studying that article, would make me shake with rage and disgust. I couldn't answer because I know I'd start to scream in the microphone and make myself look like an idiot. You must have incredible composure to do what you did. -

Liars are not able to speak plainly for the truth is not in them; it's lawyer speak they've printed knowing full well it is a lie to include, "Or".
Btw, great response!
