•In the case of where a father or mother or son or daughter is disfellowshipped
,how should such person be treated by members of the family in their family
relationship?—P.C.,Ontario, Canada.
We are not living today among theocratic nations where such members of our
fleshly family relationship could be exterminated for apostasy from God and his
theocratic organization, as was possible and was ordered in the nation of
Israel in the wilderness of Sinai and in the land of Palestine. "Thou
shalt surely kill him; thy hand shall be first upon him to put him to death,
and afterwards the hand of all the people. And thou shalt stone him to death
with stones, because he hath sought to draw thee away from Jehovah thy God, . .
. And all Israel shall hear, and fear, and shall do no more any such wickedness
as this is in the midst of thee."—Deut. 13:6-11,AS.
Being limited by the laws of the worldly nation in which we live and also by
the laws of God through Jesus Christ, we can take action against apostates only
to a certain extent, that is, consistent with both sets of laws. The law of the
land and God’s law through Christ forbid us to kill apostates, even though they
be members of our own flesh-and-blood family relationship. However, God’s law
requires us to recognize their being disfellowshipped from his congregation,
and this despite the fact that the law of the land in which we live requires us
under some natural obligation to live with and have dealings with such
apostates under the same roof."
I don't see much of a difference in the reasons given for the attacks in Paris and the way the WTS treats members who dare "insult our Prophet" !
Don't you just love the use of the word "exterminated" - like the way one deals with cockroaches !
