international version 1 cor 5:11. but now i am writing to you that you must not associate with anyone who claims to be a brother or sister but is sexually immoral or greedy, an idolater or slanderer, a drunkard or swindler.
do not even eat with such people.. if shunning is wrong.
.how does one explain this scripture?.
WT shunning is the exact opposite of Corinthians.
Dude was sleeping with his step-mom, so was banned from meetings.
When he ceased boinking his step-mom, he was to be IMMEDIATELY welcomed back.
WT REQUIRES meeting attendance.
WT acts like the Prodigal's resentful brother, bullying those who return, even though no longer "sinning."

my initial pangs of unease and doubt led me to research some things.
well, a lot of things really.
i've never felt comfortable using the bible to try to calculate dates (1914).
in the awake!
of 8th jan 1947 it states that shunning is a pagan practice and is "all together foreign to bible teaching".. hope this helps some..

It should be noted that the "weapon" of RC excommunication was a "nothing-burger" (Kevin O'Leary speak).
An excommunicated RC was simply deprived of the sacraments. He was not shunned, nor even expelled from the church.
sorry the site was offline for a short while - i kicked off a re-index of the site to pick up the http -> https changeover and, well, i didn't put any rate limits in place so google went full bore at it.
having the site hosted in google's data centre probably helps it go faster than normal.. in other news, i now know the site can scale to handle an insane number of requests if it ever needs to (as long as i put some more coins in the meter)..
I did a DoS attack against myself !
Hey, my other personalities sometimes do weird shit to me, too.

An elder friend of mine that admitted to struggling with the new 'understanding' told me that he felt better after Splanes video.

i was visiting with my family and it seems the rc was worse than i thought.
now they all seem to think that "we are so close to the end" and that the "brothers are really preparing us for the gt".
some even saying that soon our message will change to a judgement message for mankind and talking about how we need to improve "everything we do".
the anointed GB will disappear at the beginning of the Great Tribulation
Hello, Cayman Islands.
Sanderson is smart to stay single until the G.T.
Also, a good reason to keep the GB down to 7 members - why make the split bigger?
