It seems to me that the following would be reasons for excommunication in the scriptures as long as the person was flagrant and unrepentant in this regard:
1 Cor. 5:10 – A brother who is a:
Fornicator
Greedy
Idolater
Reviler
Drunkard
Extortioner
And 1 Tim. 5:20 –
Blasphemer
Then, in 2 John - anti-Christ
How do we know how far the 1st century Christians took excommunication back then? As far as the Anti-Christ goes, Christians would not receive them into there homes. However, in the case of the person who had relations with his fathers wife in Cor, was he allowed to say a greeting with the other members? Did "mix in company with" mean he wasn't allowed at the meetings, or that they weren't supposed to talk with him at all?
After how long was the excommunication ban lifted? Was he even repentant when the ban was lifted?
Also, it seems that the entire congregation made the judicial decisions. On what scriptural basis does JWs form a committee instead of the entire congregation?
If excommunication is used in the scriptires, would we not be getting the scriptures principles if we then didn't pass the same judgement on a murderer or rapist? And then, if judgement was passed on them, where would a line be drawn? Which sins would be fall under the excommunication rule?
And if sin is breaking a law according to the scriptures, which law shows the sins we are to stay away from - Noahs law or the Mosaic one?

Russian JWs in Serious Trouble - about to be banned
by Dogpatch inalthough it has been leading up to this for a long time, it appears russia has made up their mind to get rid of "extremist" groups by banning them, and jws are pretty much at the top of the list.
the last few years under putin they have been giving them heaps of trouble.. .
i am not for bans as it usually backfires, but under the "new" admnistration it looks like hard-core responses are in order.

I have finally figured ot how a lot of JWs gain more members besides having more kids...
by cognac ini've noticed that when a bible study is conducted, when worldly people have questions a lot of jws say that there question is covered later in the book.
that way, the worldlys get stopped in there tracks all the while feeling like there questions are getting answered while the assimilation takes place.. they either forget there question or the book tells them what the answer is without either giving them biblical proof or twisting scriptures.
i've noticed a lot of paragraphs in books just telling people what the answer is without scriptures or saying something like, "surely it would make sense that...".

If they say they would like to meet with you...
Say, "Sure! I was hoping you would ask! You know, I was just gonna ask you, how do you know Jerusalem fell in 607 vs 586/587? I couldn't figure it out. If you could come over with the answer to that, that would be great! Give me a call when it's a good time for you!"
