Mr Hope not Bob, ha ha.. Hubby came up with the idea of a card to give people who do not speak, even though a person has not disassociated or engaged in any df conduct.
Those who who simply "snub" you for lack of meeting attendance, inactivity etc. A business card that has the WT website on the back and the front to say this as a gentle reminder
to them as to what the org. states on the subject? Do you think there could be any repercussions on printing this up copyright etc?
Thanks to otwo we took this from one of his posts Feb/08
Here's what they say at http://www.jw-media.org/beliefs/beliefsfaq.htm
Do you shun former members?
Those who become inactive in the congregation, perhaps even drifting away from association with fellow believers, are not shunned. In fact, special effort is made to reach out to them and rekindle their spiritual interest. If, however, someone unrepentantly practices serious sins, such as drunkenness, stealing or adultery, he will be disfellowshiped and such an individual is avoided by former fellow-worshipers. Every effort is made to help wrongdoers. But if they are unrepentant, the congregation needs to be protected from their influence. The Bible clearly states: 'Remove the wicked man from among yourselves.' (1 Corinthians 5:13) Those who formally say they do not want to be part of the organization any more are also avoided. What of a man who is disfellowshipped but whose wife and children are still Jehovah's Witnesses? The spiritual ties he had with his family change, but blood ties remain. The marriage relationship and normal family affections and dealings can continue. As for disfellowshipped relatives not living in the same household, Jehovah's Witnesses apply the Bible's counsel: "Quit mixing with them." (1 Corinthians 5:11) Disfellowshipped individuals may continue to attend religious services and, if they wish, they may receive spiritual counsel from the elders with a view to their being restored. They are always welcome to return to the faith if they reject the improper course of conduct for which they were disfellowshipped.
