I am sure most of you have seen the following quote form the WBTS's PR site:
"Do you shun former members?
Those who simply cease to be involved in the faith are not shunned. In compliance with the Scriptures, however, members can be expelled for serious unchristian conduct, such as stealing, drunkenness, or adultery, if they do not repent and cease such actions. Disfellowshipping does not sever family ties. Disfellowshipped members may continue to attend religious services, and if they wish, they may receive pastoral visits. They are always welcome to return to the faith.—1 Corinthians 5:11-13"
I have been having a pretty hard time on another site trying to get a straight answer to a question about the above quote.
I have simply asked him if it is true or false?
Do those who simply cease to be involved get shunned?
And do family ties get severed by DF'ing?
I just can't get him to give me a answer. Is the question that hard?
What does everyone here think, is this statement above true or false?
I vote for FALSE myself.
Take care.
