"You disfellowship yourself - cop out..."
by confuzcious ini was talking to an elder today and called him on several points.. one of the points was that the org disfellowships people for unscriptural reasons.. i gave examples of a gambler (yes, the bible talks about greediness, but it's silent on gambling.
) being involved in boxing.
etc.. anyway, he said that, "well it's not the organization that disfellowships... but in actuality, the persons disfellowship themselves.. what is your guys response???.

About the blood "law"...
by simwitness ini have been giving the blood issue alot of thought lately, and a "new" (to me anyway) approach to discussing why the wtbs is "wrong" on it came to mind.. i have found that discussing the "what does abstain really mean" and the "it was all about eating it, since the medical use didn't exist at the time" approach never truly works, you end up in an argument over words instead of meaning.. my thought:.
at times in the ot, did god withhold punishment for sins that were committed by the faithful?
if god could withold judgment for those sins, shouldn't the members of his "organization" do the same?
