  to quote the governing body excuse/apology/justification :.

  jehovahs witnesses have had wrong expectations about when the end would come.

  I have read "Faith On The March", it does not come even close to the writings of Ray Franz. Although after reading it I do believe A.H Macmillan new the truth behind the WT but did not have the strength or Faith to fight for a change.

  my best man at my wedding, twenty years ago, was someone i always trusted.

  he was a friend for fishing, a friend who remained when i left the religion with my wife 15 years ago and although he was a bit issolated.

  i kind of trusted him.

  in the english congregations they used to announce that brother x has been disfellowshipped.

  but in the spanish congregations the announcement was made using the word expulsado (spanish)= expel in english.

  when i look up the word disfellowship, this is what i found:.

  Thanks everyone! It is true that currently JW's don't use this term from the platform. What's interesting is to see the different terms they make us use in order to avoid any comparison with the Catholics.

  If you use the word communion (in spanish COMUNION) it automatically refers to Catholics among the Latin community. Therefore my take is that it is just another way to be different.

  But in our day to day conversations as JW, ( I am still in) we do use disfelloship or (expel in spanish)

  Very good points... But I am trying to find out why among Spanish JW's we still use the word expulsado in Spanish which means expel vs. disfellowship.

  When I look up the word disfellowship, this is what I found:

  disfellowship [?d?s'f?l????p]

  vb-ships, -shipping, -shippedUS, -ships-shiping, -shiped(tr) (Christian Churches, other) to excommunicate My question is the following: JW's never use the word excommunicate in english or spanish. Why the difference??
