1959 watchtower pg 172 talks about elders going over board personal vendetta.

Like the love you get in an orphanage, up to age 18. They envision a rigid family.
"Being disfellowshipped and shunned is a loving provision "
You do need to differentiate the reason for disfelloeshipping. Some "sins" are easy to recognize; murder, rape, robbery, fraud. But the usual reasons are doubting the governing body and fornication.
so the liberals and their useful idiots, want to ban guns but then do the dumbest crap like letting rioters go and just glad handing criminals.
now crime is being helped along by the left and people are afraid the police can not protect them and the public's desire for gun control is at an all time low.
they the liberals are dumb as dog shit.

The rioters target mostly their own neighborhoods and government buildings. When they think of moving to the outskirts there is a presence of a few armed neighbors visible which discourages them. Korean businesses back when had riflemen on their roofs. No looting or burning, and few if any shot.
If you come to most of the USA you will never know how many legal guns are present in a crowd as they are concealed. Go to a dodgy neighborhood and you can be assured there are armed thugs. I do have more guns than hands, usually locked away.
It has been said that one mans terrorist is another's freedom fighter.
the wt study for this week is all about disfellowshipping.
in an early paragraph it said "think how heartbroken jehovah must have been when members of his own angelic family turned their back on him!".
however when you think about it, when this happened according to the wt teaching, jehovah still engaged with satan in the heavens (book of job) and had conversations with him about what was going on in the earth.. so why do the wt org practice shunning when jehovah god obviously didn't?.
CJ. Just ease out. They will notice your lack of enthusiasm. A confrontation will galvanize them. Turning in time is problematic. For me, this is a new call. A reply is a RV. Pioneers lie about it.
A xmas tree, birthdays are another problem if you start

We dont shoot rioters as a rule but maybe should. A armed person is a deterrent as the bad guy will go to easier pickings. Look up roof top koreans.
Civil order has broken down.

I have known congregations to wonder why restrictions last so long on some people. Once here the committee just plain forgot to follow up.
Waton: divine law enters very seldom. As for ogling, keep your pretty wife off zoom. A sinner can still tune in, as never missing a meeting is a sign of true repentance
you order something online, and get the notification it's been shipped.. "ooh look, it's only coming from 500 miles away and there's a major route from there to here.
i bet it'll be put on a truck or maybe a train and here in a day or two.
great!".

How about the WT leaving jehovah if they ever were connected.
Just started, I'm waiting for the " great lengths and time spent by the elders" comments
tricky words .
perfectly good words go unused in writing and speaking.
their meaning isn't clear and the eye is 'tricked' by similarity to other words or sounds.. .
Instead of avoiding, how about being an amateur etymologist? You know, a person who sticks pins through words.🙂
new information added to the "shepherd the flock elder's book" .
they have updated their policy on viewing child pornography.. from a congregation standpoint it is not viewed as child sex abuse and is something that should not be automatically handled by a judicial committee.
it states that a person viewing child pornography should be strongly counseled.
I love children. Thinking of doing sexual things to them is repugnant.
As for viewing porn, everyone has or is lying. And nothing like being an observer in a participant sport.

Thanks for the heads up. I didn't " study" this week. Maybe a good day to drive to the country.
Wife always starts a rant about how we should obey, then gets over it. Our spiritual discussion with df family is me telling them the latest bazaar new light (not in agreement with it).
My son lit into the hypocrit elder who led his kangaroo court. That man left physical and mental marks on his kids all of whom left.
