  There was a KM study part about arriving early, leaving late. When I was a MS, I was subjected to this rule. When I did the Accounts, I really had to stay late. I felt bad for my children who had school the next day. Then I had to arrive early when I became the Theocratic School Overseer, as an Elder. Now, I don't do anything and barely make it in before the meeting starts. But, I still can't get away early. I sometimes sneak out, or just miss.

  There is a Pedophile that literally walks 2 miles, with an Oxygen tank, and is early. He is praised for his perfect punctual attendance. Like I want to be like him.

  Shunning..... at Meetings ???

  by IMHO in

  can someone explain why jws shun disfellowshipped ones when they are at their meetings (i.e.

  making moves to come back)?.

  i can understand why you may not want to 'socialize' with ones who do not share your beliefs.. but surely shunning such ones at the 'meetings'; assuming they are not there to cause trouble, is unloving; should they not be welcomed like the prodigal son.. true christians are known by the 'love' they show.

  There is a Reinstatement period that iccurs when one is DF, or DA. This is initiated by the DA/DF person who writes a letter of appology, and wants to come back. The Reinstatement committee will meet privately with the member, and advise them to attend the meetings. The member must make thier transportation arrangements by themselves. Then time goes on to see if they will be accepted back. It's a waiting game.

  That because if any body wanted to leave, they were free to choose and make that decision.

  Zoiks: I walked 5 Km's this morning. I'm just a walker, not a runner. I don't play a sport, but I am a sport. I don't play Squash, but I do eat Squash.

  I used to run over 30 years ago. The most was 3 miles, 4 days a week.

  I've been thinking of restarting it, but have all the reasons to hold me back.

  What would the WT do if anti shunning laws were passed?

  by Aussie Oz in

  what would the wt do if say, a country or countries enacted a law that made shunnung illegal?.

  punishable by time in prison or heavy fines?.

  would they have the gall to 'obey god as ruler' rather than man, and actually continue the practice in defiance of the law even though they would incur the wrath of governments?

  I think that they would accept certain components of a DA, DF person.
