    That's what will next happen if anyone disrespects the Governing Body.

    JWs are just like Muslim extremists!

    Oh, it's actually much worse than that, if you stop and think about it: you don't even have to INSULT the prophet (GB), you just have to not BELIEVE or have doubts that they ARE the channel chosen by YWHW to communicate with mankind, and THAT'S grounds for DFing.

    You can't even insult the prophet in your heart.

    Well, you CAN, but that would be up to God to punish. If you EXPRESS your doubts, and don't recant before a JC, you just bought the golden ticket to DFing.

    Oh, yeah: some muslim extremists (eg Taliban) excommunicate with AK-47s.

    Fred Franz used to lament that they couldn't kill off those who disobeyed God like they could in Israel's days.

    ah yes Freddie, I'm sorry u can't commit a felony either.

    'Dubs really feel like they have an ownership on holy spirit. All rights and priviledges included. So they can kill those who insult the prophet, (GB).

    Maybe, but the Taliban don't lament: they do.

    That's the danger of religious ideologies getting control over secular government via theocracies eg Iran, where President Ahmadinejad serves under the Supreme Ruler, Ayatollah Khamenei, a religious figure.

    It is easy to see the theocracy rally around the Prophet aka the GB, and purge anyone critical of these Mighty Ones.
