A.M. Number 1

The one that made me burst out laughing was "Jehovah's Example." exactly!

"Those who were baptized as Jehovah’s Witnesses but no longer preach to others, perhaps even drifting away from association with fellow believers, are not shunned. In fact, we reach out to them and try to rekindle their spiritual interest.

We do not automatically disfellowship someone who commits a serious sin. If, however, a baptized Witness makes a practice of breaking the Bible’s moral code and does not repent, he or she will be shunned or disfellowshipped. The Bible clearly states: “ Remove the wicked man from among yourselves. ”—1 Corinthians 5:13.

What of a man who is disfellowshipped but whose wife and children are still Jehovah’s Witnesses? The religious ties he had with his family change, but blood ties remain. The marriage relationship and normal family affections and dealings continue.

Disfellowshipped individuals may attend our religious services. If they wish, they may also receive spiritual counsel from congregation elders. The goal is to help each individual once more to qualify to be one of Jehovah’s Witnesses. Disfellowshipped people who reject improper conduct and demonstrate a sincere desire to live by the Bible’s standards are always welcome to become members of the congregation again."

The website is just mutton dressed as lamb.

They seek to make the religon appealing to others, and in order to do that, they dishonestly represent what they actually teach to its members.

Who would have thought it would be such an effort to make the 'truth' appealing.

jw.org: Disfellowshipped individuals may attend our religious services. If they wish, they may also receive spiritual counsel from congregation elders.

I'm pretty sure most elders do NOT know this. I was an elder for over 20 years and we were NEVER told such a thing. The most we were instructed to do was make our perfunctory annual visits on DF'd ones in our territory.

Of course it could be new, I've been out for a few years, but I doubt it.

I think this is just media hype for the PUBLIC. A little PR for the uninitiated.

Don't you guys get it? Spiritual counsel for disfellowshipped ones is "don't talk to anyone but us. Come to all the meetings and sit your ass down. Write a letter in a year or so, unless you are related to one of us and just give it about three months." Doesn't that about cover it fellow ex-elders?

00DAD

Wasanelder Once, sadly, you're right.

Still, it sounds better in print than it ends up working out in practice.

Their idea of "helping" is to shun you.
