how much can one person gag?
it is interesting to note that clive thomas (canadian branch office) spoke during his part in such a way as to betray the fact that he was personally aware that what he was saying was false.. it's one thing when a local onion gets exuberant about parroting the gb's nonsense.
it's quite another when a bloodsucker like clive comes from the branch and does a "bait 'n switch" the way he did.
QBee:
I've been out for 5 years and we never handed out invites to any C.A. or D.C. Even in those 5 years, I've gone to a few Sunday meetings, and I've never heard of it.

i posted a week or two ago that i would stop attending meetings and being an elder.
i decided to wait on this after we received the june 7th boe letter.
i was interested in getting more information from other friends & family at bethel.
When I was an m.s. and my hours got too low, at least the brother said "Warlock, how can we help you?".

can someone please outline the rationale and scriptures used to support the idea that disfellowshipping is a loving gesture?
i am trying to understand how this behavior is justified, when in my mind in seems a simple matter; one only needs ask oneself, 'if jesus (or jehovah) were standing next to you, would jesus (or jehovah), support any shunning-type actions?
' i find it very difficult that the answer would ever be 'yes'.

I agree with you 1000%.

I only agree with you 500%, because I'll help you do it and that will be the second 500%.

a good friend of mine moved away 10 years ago.
needless to say, we lost touch over the years, but our family always spoke of them warmly and with with great affection.. last week, their daughter looked my son up on my-space and we reconnected.
they've left the organization, basically got fed up with the hypocrasy of the membership.

That's kind of funny how you brought this up (must be holy spirit). I still have occasional contact thru e-mail to one of my best friends in high school, and that was over 30 years ago.
I've been waiting for my "friends" from the hall to call me for 5 years. So does that mean I don't have any friends at the hall? I guess.

I didn't say it would solve the problem. Nothing will solve the problem short of banishment to a desert island for most of those with that problem.

if you own stock, please make an argument as to why you purchased it.

Fleur,
Yes, I agree with you, and I know of a couple of cases where the molester admitted what they did, and they were not disfellowshipped. My point is if disfellowshipping was used in the proper way, it would be a loving gesture.
So instead of the abused being kicked out, the abuser should be kicked out. The reporting of crimes to the authorities goes without question.

It is a loving gesture to the Cong. when the disfellowshipped one is a child molester, don't you agree?
