I know this subject was brought up awhile back but I was not a member and would like to share my thoughts.
Jehovah's Witnesses are not the only religion that believes in this. I was raised in a Church of Christ family. They have practiced this for years and still do. My Aunt did not know her granddaughter till she was 5 yrs old because her son was disfellowshipped . So for those out there that say JW's are the only ones to practice this Please do some more research!
May Jehovah bless you

Anyone that shuns does not understand church discipline spelled out in the scriptures.

Duhh YES we are and do you understand the Bible apparently not

Hipkat sorry I forgot to read your whole post instead I just picked out certain words and twisted them

If anyone would seriously like to discuss this--YOU know where I am and we will let the so-called Christians have their bickering session

Give all praise to Jehovah for the revenge belongs to him

If you are prophets, why have so many JW prophesulies been shown incorrect.

Even the prophets in the Bible were not perfect Peter for one

GIVE THANKS TO JEHOVAH FOR HE IS GOOD

Duhh it's called the Bible--Have you read it? Here is a defintion

The Greek pro�pheʹtes literally means �a speaker out [Gr., pro, �before� or �in front of,� and phe�miʹ, �say�]� and thus describes a proclaimer, one who makes known messages attributed to a divine source

GIVE THANKS TO JEHOVAH FOR HE IS GOOD
