nope we are under duress to keep our congregations clean from these bad examples of faithlessness. Interesting was the guy I mentioned earlier, he dissociated himself, went to another church for a while, realised it was an empty facade, eventually claimed he was an atheist and has now left his wife and young family, faithless person. we were right to kick his ilk from our congregation, he was, 'not of our sort'.

It's funny but sometimes a movie or TV show will come out that shows some future idealic, peaceful utopia type of world with all getting along with no crime, injustice, hunger, etc, and most seem to like those type of societies because of the peace and unity among all that is there.
But yet, it is so terrible when the JW's are working for that now by following God's laws and principles to do that now among ourselves.
I think it exposes ones who condemn us for doing this because they have some other motive in their life and do not want to live under God's ways....

The problem with "sexual immorality" as a label is that it seems to imply sex for sex sake. But the situation often brings true love to people who are in loveless relationships. The decision to discontinue a deep emotional relationship and return to one that is dry and cold, can be the issue, it's not just wanting the sex. I hope elders have training in these distinctions even though they may be duty bound to insist on termination of the relationship and reunion with the spouse if any.

I'm in England. Deal with it.

Now come back to the obesity thread and tell us again how 82,000 deaths a year is not a crisis.

There are millions of ex JWs who would testify that you are.

I did just as God told me to do. And guess what? Did she run away and tell us to go to hell? Hardly my friend. The punishment did exactly as Jehovah designed it and it woke her up spiritually and now is married to a wonderfully spiritually strong man and is actually doing better then anyone in the entire famliy. She would rather die then to miss a meeting ever. She learned the hard way about loosing the relationship of Jehovah and her family and her brothers and sisters in the congregation.
And I can say this is not the exception as most that are disfellowshipped do return and do better spiritually then ever.

Simply choosing to fellowship in another church does not warrant the behaviour of shunning. Please show the scripture which specifically supports this behaviour.
