and for those that believe disfellowshipping is unacceptable, would you want to have known child molesters as members of a congregation that you were in?
I think that Paul was writing to the Roman congregation, not the body of elders which shows it is a personal decision. Plus I think it is a personal decision in the way that witnesses are told to consider their forms of entertainment. After all the first century congregation we told that the only laws that applied to them was eating blood, fornication and eating things sacrificed to idols.
Plus even if disfellowshipping is scriptural, judicial committees certainly have no basis in scripture.
omg, how horrible is this:.
you know when you have a certain tune in your head, and you just can't figure out which one it is?
well, i just figured mine out, its "hey daar al gij dorstigen, komt en drink het levenswater vrij".
What always drove me crazy about that song is that it went on and on. (I timed it once it was over 1 minute per verse) and I think in the purple songbook it was the longest, so it always seemed to be reserved for the last song on a Sunday at the assemblies - just to keep us there that little bit longer.
i'm so curious!
if you see this, sign your name and your location if you want, cuz i wanna know how many people actively view this!

Tim, Toronto, Canada originally from Wiltshire U.K.
had a question for my fellow canuckers:.
i am going to green bay for the apostafest, and i don't have a passport.
should i get one even though i have plenty of canadian id???
Other than the general ill feeling I believe that for Canadian citizens nothing has changed. However for those of us that have not got around to getting citizenship and are still landed immigrants things changed as of March 21st. Now you will need a visitors visa, unless you are from the U.K., Australia, New Zealand and a couple of other British protectorates that I can't remember. Being from the U.K. though will still mean that you get hauled into the office and have to fill out a card, as I found out.

My specialist is in English lit, and I am doing a minor in Psychology. Incidentally I came across an interesting section under Social Psychology which could have been written about the witnesses. I don't have my text book with me right now but I will post it later.
