Hi Ginny:
This is not to push an article that I already have on the page. There is information within that article that completely covers the Disfellowshipping practice. IT is an article titled "Apostasy". It is 22 pages long! A very long read I know. But all of the scriptural information that you need is there.IT shows that it is no man's business today to remove individuals from the congregation. IT is Jehovah's appointed Judge that looks after the cleaning up of the congregations. In brief recall the scripture at Matthew 13:27-30 They asked Him "do yo want US to go and weed them out" Look at what he told them! "NO,lest in gathering the wild wheat {weeds} you root up the {true} wheat along with it" He told them "Let the grow together until the harvest;and at harvest time I will say to the reapers [ANGELS} Gather the darnel first and bind it in bundles to be burned, but gather the wheat into my granary" Verse 41 of that same chapter shows you who actually does that work. "The Son of Man will send forth his angels THEY will gather out of His kingdom all causes of offence... and all who do iniquity and act wickedly" First century christians were empowered by Jehovah to read the heart. That is evident by reading Acts 5:1-11.No man today is able to look into the heart so no man can accurately judge another man. Why would one sinner be looking at another to judge him anyway?" "All have sinned" Jesus now is Jehovah's appointed Judge. John 5:22. Jehovah has been seated in His heavenly court since "1914" Evidence for and against is being gathered. That court is still in session. NO verdict has as yet been rendered. When it has then the clean up will begin. As it is done now it is running ahead of Jehovah Himself and also His appointed Judge to remove anyone from the congregations. They will pay dearly for what they have done to families- marriages and individuals. Sooner or later we reap what we sow.
