Another year in the doghouse for smoking? Can the elders be charged with unusual or cruel punishment? Was this even the original sin, or just an extra serving shunning on top?

Unhappy being asked to give a Disfellowshipped Sister a ride to and from Meetings
by Isambard Crater ini'm pimo, very much against disfellowshipping, and going to a meeting leaves me feeling confused and angry at the best of times.
except an elder asked me on thursday night if i can start giving a ride to a disfellowshipped woman because she lives near me and nobody else from the hall lives in my village.
it seems the elder and his family who have been giving this woman a ride for the past six months can no longer stomach the time it takes them to go out of their way.. i thought all normal publishers weren't to have any contact with disfellowshipped people?

Possibly the woman is about to be reinstated but the elder didn't deem fit to divulge that piece of information. So he is preparing to divest himself of the chore of giving her a lift.
If you don't want to do it you could just make an excuse. Although I can't come up with one off the top of my head.

A new introduction written by a Trinitarian from the Watchman Foundation? I wonder what Ray Franz would have made of that.

Not library, book room.
Book room manager was the height I rose to in this organisation. So this is my level of competence. ;-)

I think this is just talking about tidying up the book room, not a prohibition on KHs or individuals keeping these books.
The only books marked "destroy" are ones with old policy in them, such as the publisher books. The reason for "destroying" these books, I suppose is a practical one, insomuch as they don't want anyone picking up an old book and applying old policy. For example the old publisher book instructed to treat unbaptised publishers who have been removed as disfellowshipped. This is no longer policy.

Does this mean discard from the book room or discard from the library?
"Display" where?
And why are a few items marked "destroy"?

Well careful, it won't happen unless people try to make it happen. I would add to your list, blood, shunning, university education, and so on.

Oh it wasn't at the GFT it was at Cineworld. And it was cancelled on the 1st of March. Mmm not much chance of them rescheduling it then I suppose.

I would have watched it at the GFT had it not been for the snow. I wonder if it was rescheduled.
