  judged for not ostrisizing?

  by blindfool in

  ok, i'm getting a little lazy here.

  i glanced at a couple of jw books on the issue, but i know you guys can answer, so i'm going straight to the experts.. what happens if a good witness refuses to ostracize a df'd member.

  i know an elder might approach and question their actions, but would a judicial committee ever be formed to stop a person from associating with a df'd witness?.

  ok, heres my question for all the ex-elders out there.. it will be announced thursday that my niece will be disfellowshipped.. the circumstances are not important to this discussion, but she is .

  remorseful for her actions and has taken steps so it will not happen again.

  she actually made a lot of sacrifices to try to make her mistake right.

  why I like this web site

  i thought about posting this topic earlier today and decided not to.. but after reading little-lamb-on-a-hill i thought, what the heck?.

  yesterday, my eight year old son had some minor surgery, nothing serious, very minor, but you know how the doctors tell you how even minor surgery can take a serious turn.

  well, i started to imagine all the things that could go wrong and of course thought of the blood issue.

  celebrating the death of Jesus

  by blindfool in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  am i the only one bothered by the way the jw's refer to the memorial as a celebration of the death of jesus?.

  i understand that jesus said to keep the tradition of the last meal, but should it be referred to as a celebration?

  this should be a solemn occasion and not one we would look forward to celebrating.

  question about shepherding calls

  by blindfool in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i'm just curious about something and thought some of the former elders and such could answer.. i know of some witnesses who are sick and can't come to the meetings.. we used to call them shut-ins in church.

  i don't think that any elders or pioneers ever visit on a regular basis.

  it seems to me that it would be easy for a pioneer to rack up some good hours by going by and having a weekley book study and wt study with these people.
