Dear jimmyjames, Don't look for that to ever happen.
I was disfellowshipped once, years ago when I
was in my early twenties. I accepted the discipline that was handed me, as I knew I deserved to be disfellowshipped for I had
sinned
and knew better. And too, I felt this discipline was from Jehovah for the scriptures say that Jehovah disciplines those he
loves.
Hebrew's 12:5-6 -----
*** "But you have entirely forgotten the exhortation which addresses 'you as
son's': "MY SON, DO NOT BELITTLE THE
DIZCIPLINE FROM JEHOVAH, NEITHER GIVE OUT WHEN YOU ARE CORRECTED BY HIM", for whom Jehovah
LOVES, he DISCIPLINES them; in fact, he scourges everyone whom he recieves as sons."
I remembered these
scriptures and I repented and turned around from my wrong doing,
and I am thankful to Jehovah for this arrangement.
In what other church do you see this evidence of discipline from God? There is none that I know of. And what is the
fruitage in
those churches? Watered down truth and adopted Pagan rituals, supporting war and killing their brethern,,etc. I could go on
and on here.
X-JW's know this to be true and there is no excuse for their behavior. It just
goes to show that many of them don't have
appreciation nor do they have a humble spirit. They are giving themselves away.
May Jehovah show mercy to those who complain against this arrangement.
Love- - truwitness
