BFD ... so good to see a friendly face in the crowd!

Step 1 ... the boy had sex without being married. He knew, you know and I know he broke one of the tenets of being a baptised and dedicated member of Jehovah's Witnesses. So he actually judged himself by doing this. Can't play dumb at 17 years old.

The practise is to have a private JC by chosen elders. If it was meant to be decided by the general congregation, there would be no privacy. As it is, an unrepentent person is announced as no longer being one of Jehovah's Witnesses. Saves ambarassment and no one is the wiser as to what they did wrong.

Step 3... he did not seek reinstatement.

Yes indeed, addiction is a powerful affliction ... preaching to the choir :) been there .. done that .. not booze though.

Sweet BFD .. I'd love to study the Bible with you. PM me and I'll give you my addy ... later .. Rose

ronin:

Step 1 ... started by boy. That's how dominoes start :)

Step 2 ... I stand by the JC committee. They are imperfect but from all I've seen they always try to be fair. I mentioned already that some fall through the cracks and they have the right to appeal and/or seek reinstatement.

Step 3 ... it was not mentioned that he sought reinstatement so one may conclude that unless it is said to be so .. he didn't try.

Step 4 ... you are positively WRONG!!! A person who drinks does so of his own free will. He stands alone and must stop of his own free will. He may get help from others but it is his responsibility to act!

The rules of the society are scripturally based ... so you are in fact blaming Jehovah.

So if I decide to take hard drugs ... for whatever reason ... I can come here crying that it is the fault of the society?

Where is the logic?

ronin1 .. you mention the domino effect. OK ... let's go there. Who started the effect?

Did the boy get df'd for nothing ... making the WTS responsible for the first step? NO. The boy started the effect by having sex before marriage.

Step 2 ... he obviously did not show repentance and was thus df'd.

Step 3 .. if he wanted back in he could have taken steps to get reinstated ... he knows that too. 17 y/o's are a lot smarter than they often portray themselves. They know it looks better for themselves to feign ignorance.

Step 4 .. instead of helping himself, he decided to drink and drive.

Now you and so many here see this as the societies fault. Have I missed anything? Don't think so.

p.s. ... this young man is now 29 years old. Just about time he woke up and smelled the coffee.

ronin ... I see your side but does that mean that every 17 y/o who gets a setback in his/her life can justify their bad behaviour on (whatever) and be exhonorated? Do you see where I'm coming from? A 17 y/o does know right from wrong ... even the law says so. Almost like saying where schools practise corporal punishment ... when the kids grow up they beat up everyone they want and blame the school system.

People have to quit blaming everyone and everything for their own bad actions.

journey-on ... if I'm not mistaken, I think you've asked me this before. Maybe I will start a topic someday ... just not today ... Rose (of the caustic style .. prickly when you get too close:)

hs ... I mentioned Depends as a cute joke.

The way you came back at me is rather sick ...

Please don't wish me a happy anything ever again .... please ...

I think you are quite weird.

Where did I say that the Stench (Trench) was water? Speaking of water, isn't it time to snap on a night time Depend and hit the hay for old codgers like youself? :)

journey-on ... I do see your side. I acknowledge that some fall through the cracks ... at any age. Some people freeze up at a JC meeting. Ultimately, it is their place to get themselves back though. If he truly wanted back, he would have.

Drinking is the easy way out. It absolves any responsibility for the person's actions. I was 17 not toooo long ago. I could have done the same thing ... but chose not to. I truly feel sorry for your brother and for the pain you feel for him. May you both be happy in the future.
