i'm in contact with service and writing and brochure first step there bleeding publishers they can't take it anymore publishers are depressed because they feel they must shun others and they know it's unloving.
The other major change that they made is to openly acknowledge that they shun in their FAQ's.
"We do not automatically disfellowship someone who commits a serious sin. 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 disfellowshipped."
If the FAQ's do not change, then the policy is not changing.
it appears that a new 16-page brochure, with the title "return to jehovah" is to be released at the regional convention (dc) this year.
it would be written specifically for those faded or da/df.chapters are:a letter from the governing body1.
the lost one i will search for2.
This is nothing but a rewrite of the Nov. 15, 2008 study article "Help Them Return Without Delay!"
Nothing new. Same headings.

Consider another situation. Suppose
a beloved relative is disfellowshipped.
From your study of the Bible,
you know how disfellowshipped
ones are to be treated. (1 Cor. 5:11;
2 John 10) Yet, upholding the disfellowshipping
decision may at times seem
very difficult, even impossible.

To be studied in June.
Ain't gonna happen.
i would like this to become a permanent thread, because i think there are grounds - at least in europe - to take this matter up to the european court of human rights.
not sure we'll ever get there, but one must start somewhere.
objective: force, by legal means, the watchtower society and the jehovah's witnesses to stop the practice of shunning ex-jehovah's witnesses, on grounds that it constitutes a violation of human rights.. what is needed: all written material ever published by the watchtower society, especially since 1940's, concerning the practice of shunning.
Wow! to compare killing and shunning, that’s a desperate act of a faithless person.
Do you not know any JW's that have committed suicide?
That has been posted about multiple times.
Most know about 3.
I know 6 (not including countless unsuccessful attempts).
Only one spirit being named in the Bible loves the JW cult of death.
"or perhaps there is an adult brother who is restricted from conducting the meeting or offering congregation prayer for reasons known by the elders.
without revealing confidential information, the elders should let the assigned sisters know that they should conduct and pray even if he is in attendance.".
too funny..
The sisters are not even allowed to stand as they "keep silent" in the congregation. They have to sit down! LOL!!!
"A sister should wear a head covering and would normally be seated when conducting a meeting for field service."
Never noticed that one before.
What's the reasoning?
i doubt that nothing has greater impact then a person being df'd - reading the current thread.. i have known many kids df'd at 15, and many baptized at 10 or 11, but none df'd.. i would imagine that the minimum must be about 13.. any younger than 15?.
She didn't scream so "she consented to it"
How many years ago?

never mind with sandy hitting nyc when jkl went to ny, including his awesome/awkward interview with letterman.. .
Okay, just saw Kilborn doing an Ooma commercial.
Waste of talent.
