  whatever happened to this long lost activity?

  i can remember a time when you couldn't make it from the convention doors to your car without being approached by at least one glassy-eyed apostate holding a sign or thrusting a homemade tract under your nose.

  ahhhh, those were the days...

  Picketing may or may not be effective. If you can get media coverage, even better.

  Either way it was the result of pro-active people.

  Disfellowshipping isn't new-the history of Southern Disfellowshipping

  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.
