You're right of course, we don't have the full story. What I was thinking though was that if he was going to meetings, had applied to be reinstated and presumably stopped doing whatever it was that got him disfellowshipped, then by Christian standards of forgiveness and mercy, he should have been allowed back in. After all, elders, despite what they like to pretend, cannot read the heart nor do they have the authority to judge people for life or death. In this regard, they have overstepped into Christ's domain.

NO SUPPORT FOR EXJWS DRAFTED IN UKRAINE
by raymond frantz inhttps://youtu.be/ulan2hhagz8?si=jpedzunzb5o_6axd.
here’s a cautionary tale for anyone counting on past ties with jehovah’s witnesses to dodge conscription: they’ll throw you under the bus faster than you can say “conscientious objector.” a man in ukraine learned this the hard way after refusing military service and hoping his old religious connections would save him.
spoiler alert—they didn’t.

Wow, just wow. Those elders sure love wielding the power of life and death.
By this all will know that you are my disciples, if you... throw each other to the wolves?

I agree with Joe, I raised this subject with my pimi family including the GB man lying under oath and their sudden change of doctrine as to who the fds is.
The pimis sweep it all aside with excuses. I was a bit gobsmacked by the ' well we always knew that not every single anointed person writes articles for the literature '. That's not what it's about! Aaargh! For my own sanity I can't raise these concerns with them anymore.
I have to remind myself of "there's great relief when you stop banging your head against the wall '.

Sorcery = Pharmakeia
by KerryKing inrev18:23 '....you deceived the nations with your sorceries'.. the interlinear for sorceries reads pharmakeia.. bible hub has some interesting definitions, i'll try to share screenshots below.
the gist of it is that sorcery involves drugs/medicines/poisons, with or without spells, sorcery is not the same as witchcraft or divination, or white/black magic.
i have long wondered about the connection between the medical/pharmaceutical industry's symbol of the serpent wrapped around a pole/stake, and the use of the word pharmaceuticals/pharmacy.. considering the common use of fluoride in public drinking water, nsaids with side effects such as depression, brain fog, dizziness, and opioids, mrna gene therapy, vaccines and so on, i wonder am i going mad, are these all coincidences??

Valid viewpoint also Jeffro, I like to keep my mind flexible and look at all the angles so thanks for providing yours. I'm a little confused as to why you sound so angry but I genuinely hope you find peace in life.

That's interesting that they made that connection in the past, but obviously not in recent years and definitely not in connection with medicines.
Another case of telling 99 truths to sell the 1 lie.

Rev18:23 '....you deceived the nations with your sorceries'.

I have long wondered about the connection between the medical/pharmaceutical industry's symbol of the serpent wrapped around a pole/stake, and the use of the word pharmaceuticals/pharmacy.
Considering the common use of fluoride in public drinking water, NSAIDS with side effects such as depression, brain fog, dizziness, and opioids, mrna gene therapy, vaccines and so on, I wonder am I going mad, are these all coincidences?? Most of these are mind altering drugs to varying degrees, not to mention the anti depressants and hormone treatments which are very commonly used.
And what about food colourings and additives which are known to cause hyperactivity and even stimming in children especially. Mind altering substances.
Illegal drugs are of course well known to cause hallucinations and even permanent brain damage.
As the verse above says, are we all being deceived?!
It seems like too many coincidences for my liking.
I welcome polite debate on the subject!
