Somehow to me the disfellowshipping is very close to judging another person. Jesus once said he who is without sin cast the first stone. Now I know how that repented person felt when jesus stepped in. I have a father who's heart has always been with the witnesses he is now 87. He was disfellowshipped almost 30 yrs ago,within the past two years he has picked up his studies again and faithfully attends the hall.
He knows his disfellowship has something to do with what a aunt, from my mothers side did, she went an poisoned the hearts of the people there with lies. My aunt has also been a witness for many years she attends faithfully also, but her heart is filled with hate for my father, I dont know why, but I know there has been a tear in my family because the two of them have some hidden anger it seems for the other. I witnessed this about a year ago when I attended the hall with my dad. My aunt was there to, do you know when she saw me, she spoke to me but not my dad, she even asked me to come sit with her, We left there without her saying a word to my dad, this made him feel really hurt, she is suppose to be the one with so much training since she has been the one continuing studies continully. I of course tell her I will sit with my dad. To me I see that satan used her to cause these people to judge my dad.
Anyway, back to questions, 1. If we are all without sin we can say get out of here you speck, for you blimish my clean vessel. Or if we all have sin shouldn't we all be cast out? What man can say he has gone a day without sinning? 2. Is sin rated to a certain degree, where if I lie, or steal or think fornicating thoughts or think that man has a nice but i have now sinned a certain level? If sin is not rated who would than rate it in the hall? Who has the right to say ok, you have sinned you are no longer part of this vessel for our vessel carries no specks. WE THE BROTHERS NOW HAVE TO RE-RATE, RE-EVAULATE your actions to see if your heart is forgiven or if you are clean enough to be rejoined to the vessel. How can they see into a mans heart, in order to say you have done all you should do to return, I thought a lost son even after being away filthy with dirt from the world, when he returns God says the father would accept him, embrace him with open arms. Now if we did the same thing embrace our fellow brothers or sisters, Embrace? hmmm do you take time to go over that persons past acts when u embrace someone, no you dont think of the past you are so happy to see them return you hurridly grab them, take hold of them and nuture them. Embrace is a word that has a nuturing define in it wouldn't you agree? Did that father when his son come home torn and weighted down with sin, than tell the son, are you sure you want to return? are you sure you are now clean? When that son returned did the father say you are beneath the others here so you will have your position in my house?
Son let me see your faults once more I want to make sure your not lying to god. So why is it the Jehovah's witness put a person through all this just to return to the congregation as a forgiven repented persoin. 3. If one comes back to the hall to be reinstated and they deciden not to reinstate the person, and Jesus returns is that person now lost? I sit here sadden to my inner being, as a ex-witness myself, yes thats right my dad raised me up in the hall from a tot to early teens. I am sadden because I am now on the outside looking end, my heart knows and Jehovah only knows my faith, he only knows my judgment, my sentence, and even if the witnesses never acknowledge me again. ONLY JEHOVAH, NOT SOME CONGREGATION PROCLAIMING TO BE THE ONLY TRUE FAITH, CAN SAY GOD WILL NOT ALLOW MY SPIRIT INTO HIS KINGDOM. Tell me was paul a witness? Was moses a witness? How many people in Heaven with God right now a witness, Yes out of all the people Jehovah called up, how many were witnesses? My brothers and sisters please stop your judgemental ways. The seal has never been broken, therefore No, one knows whos name is in that book. Mind could be and the witness reading this now could not be. GET IT?
