Didn't mean to steal the thread, but I cannot fathom just how childish this disfellowshipping is. The fact that some do not do it means there is some who can actually think for themselves and are still decent beings. For the rest of them, it's pretty sad. This is the kind of s%$t that children do in daycare. But even the children do forgive and forget.
I can understand as I come to learn about the teachings of Jesus why the Witnesses shun Jesus himself. The whole idea of Christianity is lost without Jesus. They have done exactly that- they are completely lost .
Thanks Mr. Flipper. and all others.
