  New Disfellowshipping Procedure

  by Anna Marina in

  disfellowship but never, ever announce it.. this new procedure is to be confirmed - anyone else come across it?.

  for this record these are jesus' actual instructions in relation to this matter:-.

  (matthew 18:15-17) 15 “moreover, if your brother commits a sin, go lay bare his fault between you and him alone.

  Wouldn't that screw up the shunning process?

  If you get DF'd and not know it, that could cause major mental issues.

  You may think you are DF'd, then start to talk to yourself, shun yourself, and then get up and leave the room.

  Hey GreatTeacher nice to see you back

  @cofty ...

  I agree. I liked the book he wrote for children. We used that a lot teaching young ones in the Borg.

  it's not fair to have mail-in ballots with mob rule

  @LV101 ...

  I guess the Repubs aren't smart enough to do the same thing and "fix" their ballets too.

  This pandemic which is causing a financial collapse in many countries would be a death blow to just about any politcal leader

  @Mr Finkelstein ...

  True. In retrospect, the best thing long-term for the Dems is that Hillary lost to Trump. She would never win a second term.

  I know there are some other elders / ex-elders here and would appreciate any thoughts on creating my own prophesy. I don't want to get DF'd or anything, but the black goat thing just has my mind spinning.

  Like the black goat has the feet of a lion or something. Maybe it deceives and misleads those who listen to its voice.

  I could come up with dozens of ideas. And then I could try to understand how my own prophesy would be fulfilled.

  I just don't want to get into trouble.

  prologue.

  get out shouted the audience you must be ashamed of yourself.

  the crowd was in a hysterical state, every time that we tried to say something we were silenced by the clapping and screams which got louder and louder of the majority of the two hundred people in attendance.

  @Paul B ...

  That building from the outside looks like one of the units Barry Weiss bought on Storage Wars the other night. He paid $800 for it but found some baseball memorabilia that he ended up selling for over $2900.

  Not a bad return on a storage locker ($2900 - 800 = $2100).

  It was August 2016 when Bannon / Conway replaced Manafort as Trump's campaign manager.

  @sir82 ...

  Yes, I do give Trump credit that he was smart enough to not have his campaign manager running the campaign from Federal prison.

  Maryland's current Republican governor, Larry Hogan ... might be angling for the 2024 nomination.

  GrreatTeacher ....

  Yes, I bet he is. He talks coherently and doesn't call people he doesn't like childish names. He definitely seems and governs like a "normal" person, if there is such a thing.

  He could lose a few pounds, but other than that, he seems like he is a very informative and viable candidate if he chooses to run.

  ... a second term. It will be embarrassing for Trump if this is not also the case for him.

  @Listener ...

  The last one-term president was Bush the Elder, a very nice man, who lost to Clinton. Yet, afterward, they became very close friends. They later toured the world on humanitarian purposes and raising money. Barbara Bush even jokingly called Bill Clinton "my son".

  Can you imagine Trump becoming a close friend with someone who beats him in an election???

  Remember, Jesus probably saw Eve naked before Adam saw her. I bet she was a hottie.

  I just wonder that since metals were not used yet, could she have shaved herself? (underarms, legs, lower region)? Or maybe Adam liked his woman a bit "bushy".

  Just thinking.
