RIP Francis. Let's hope the next Pope starts a Vatican 3 Council, fat chance but it would be nice to pick up where V2 left off.

Can someone remind me the reason's you could be disfellowshipped?

the only reasons i can remember are smoking, sexual immorality and of course, apostasy.

there must be others but having been out since 1990, i'm drawing a blank.

i was thinking perhaps serious criminal offenses that result in prison, but then i remembered a brother in my congregation in the 1980's who went to prison.

You can get DF'ed for "Brazen conduct" and what exactly that is just ask Jim Rizoli. His video below explains very clearly what happens in the back rooms with the elders.

All Christians: You Don't Have All Of The Bible (Complete 88 Books) Yet, So Can You Have "All . . . All Truth!" (See John 16:13)

by AbaddonProvesIt in

all christians: you don't have all of the bible (complete 88 books) yet, so can you have "all .

all truth!

" (see john 16:13).

Like Pilate asked: What is truth?

Reading up on the history of the Bible Canon and how it developed may help you not fall prey to nonsense, Abbaddie!

If not even AnnaNana is convinced, you have some serious credibility issues to contend with.

That is what appears to be a sword in its sheath. Maybe a Roman gladius. BTW look up what a sword sheath would be called in Latin.

Hey Dromedar007,

Fellow Christian here, fluent in French btw, and Spanish too for that matter. I keep in touch with some friends in Africa, wonderful Christian minded folks who likewise have suffered through a lot.

It was nice to read your post, and welcome to the JW Discussions Forum.

God Bless!

In the past 24 hours, the world has been breaking into fragments. What will be the Outcome??

by liam in

new german chancellor merz has won the election.

trump congratulated his victory but the response was not what trump expected.

merz condemned america, saying that america seemed to be aligning with russia.. he also expressed doubts about nato’s future.. he is now advocating that germany must gain independence from usa.

Trumpolini is playing into the hands of Dictator Putin. I wonder if that's what is keeping the Moscow pee-pee tape out of the media.

As far as billions of dollars going to Ukraine, most of it is spent on armaments to US weapon manufacturers who employ American workers. And, a lot of those armaments are old and would be displaced by newer weapons so it is a boon to US armaments manufacturers.

h*t*a*a*o. staring elmer and daffy!.

now read between the lines.. -------------------------------------.

h*t*a*a*o. how to attack an outline video.

iloowy.goowy

I know for a fact that in congregations I gave talks as a visiting speaker elders had outlines of my same talk and followed along, one even had his wife check off points as they were covered. We had hospitality with them afterwards, her outline checkmarks showed she'd used it a few times with other speakers. But I believe this was a local thing, not something that was encouraged by the branch.

Comments deemed not in support of Eric Wilson's latest Biblical doctrines and interpretations of scripture are summarily deleted but it may not be by him.

It could be one of his minion followers especially an elderly lady nick named Vivie, who reads all posts, comments as if Eric did and tends to have no patience for discord or questioning attitudes.
