  Disfellowshipping isn't new-the history of Southern Disfellowshipping

  by dawg in

  ok, so i'm doing research on my family.. we've been in this country since 1650, and like lt. dan on forrest gump, i have had someone from my family fight and die in every us war.

  so my family came to georgia in 1789, they were given a land grant for their services in the revolutionary war and settled here near uga/athens.

  when they came to the area known as "goose pond" there was only one church that was established.... it was called "millstone creek" baptist.

  If money itself were the main issue, then JW's would be tithing and there would be no disfellowshipping.

  I am not sure about southern churches, but mountain churches still do, I don't know how frequently, but they still do, and it is only for biblical offenses such as adultery, murder, or whatever, and only then are they shunned, and even at that they can still socialize with their family members.
  
  
  JW style shunning wouldn't happen in mountain churches unless the disfellowshipped person interrupted services or something. People are free to change religions and not be shunned by their family.
  
  
  Baptists are a fierce independant lot and don't take kindly to people telling them who to speak to.

  each shopping trip, i get one new veggie/fruit or new dish and we (me and the kids) will taste test things.

  we've found many things we've liked doing this.

  tonight we just tried a pepino melon and it was very good.

  Remember, you don't have to settle after the first date, and there are plenty of fish in the sea.

  my wife asked for a seperation last week.

  she rattles off a huge list of wrong things, like dress better when going out {wear a jacket?

  } and be more ambitious like her since she would have been a millioniare if i wasn't holding her back?

  my bad ,I forgot you were from Waverly down in the hills of Southern Ohio. I like Paw Paws too, but haven't eaten them that much. They are called a poor man's nanner.
  
  As for persimmon's, I don't think I have ever had them. Do they grow in Ohio? or are they an overseas fruit? Do they grow on trees?

  I second that. Jungle Jims is a really cool grocery store, it is almost a tourist attraction unto itself. Amanda and I would stop there on the way back home from Dayton.
  
  
  FreedomFrog, have you ever tried a Paw Paw?

  hi... my name is chrissy & i have been away from the "truth" for 8 years now.

  i married a "brother" when i was 20. i was humiliated by the "elders" in the backroom for oral sex & publicly humiliated but never disfellowshipped.

  my husband & i left the truth together after moving away from the area where we lived when we were witnesses.

  No, but at least they are trying, despite being almost gagged for doing so.
