do you think disfellowshipping is unscriptural?.

that was the topic that inspired this..... i have given many scriptures in the previous topic showing how jesus had so much love for us and i feel that paul was trying to set an example for us in his writings.

what is it that really irritates you ,i mean the most annoying ,thing that when you see it or hear it you just clench your teeth,we all have them so let's hear yours.mine is religious boasting.there is this home builder that advertises on tv and says his crap then says we are a christien company.oh yes , because he said that i would trust him more then anyone else,he must have higher standards.
(ya right).or those people who advertise with bumper stickers of their religion,and yes the freaking door bell ringers trying to push their crap on me.isn't it what you feel inside?why advertise to everyone?does it make you feel more important or more religious?because of the attempt to show me that you have faith does not make me feel i could trust you.
this is just one of my irritants and hope not do offend,everyone has the right.
I guess I am a snob, because my biggest peeves involve people who don't write or speak clearly. And there are certain "colloquialisms" that drive me crazy, for instance when people say they want to "conversate" instead of having a "conversation", and when they say "my bad" instead of "I'm sorry". And, while I understand that not everyone who posts here is a native English speaker, I would really appreciate more attention being paid to the format of messages. Sometimes I just give up on what might be an interesting subject, because I am having such a hard time deciphering what the poster is saying.Oh yes, and I hate people who drive slow in the "fast" lane, too. Get a bike!!!
LOL! I entered happyout's post into an ebonics translator and this Is what came out:

Welcome Wovy,
We have many people on this board that have been in the same situation. I don't know your story so I can't really give you any advice, but I recommend you stick around. This is a great place to learn about JW's.
Liquidsky
many comments are made that jw's are actually brainwashed.
do you think this is true?
YES.
i've been lurking in this site for about a week now.
i didn't know something like this existed or else i may have come sooner.
i'm a bit selfish for making this my first post, but i'd like to introduce myself and get some feedback if possible.. my parent's became jehovah's witnesses when i was eight years old, so i was for the most part "raised in the truth".
