How do you know if someone is 'sexually immoral'? Surely that goes on behind closed doors?

What does the Bible say of those who wish to leave but have done no wrong?

if you have done no wrong its hard for you to be disfellowshipped, in fact, its impossible.

Is a person who wants to leave your church without moral or spiritual misbehaviour, do you class them as an apostate and shun them?

an apostate is someone who teaches something contrary to scripture, either literally or by example, do we have the right to remove them or not?

possibly. I'm not contending that there are reasons in the Bible to remove people from a church congregation. Stop hiding.

If someone leaves your church (completely) to john another denomination for example, are they shunned?

Its hard to say, it depends I suppose on why they become disassociated, for example, we had one guy who disassociated himself, he was secretly copying files for apostate hate sites prior to his leaving, secretly recording meetings to put on the internet etc

It depends on the circumstances and what they are teaching.

Suppose they are not teaching anything, they just think you are a bunch of bullies like I do and decide to join another church. You would shun them. Deny it.

explain why the practice is unscriptural, if you cannot or will not then you have no complaints other than your usual hatred, which is well, really what this is all about.

Here we go with geester dude doing his non stop dance again. Ho hummmmm!
He seriously has no ability to reason and think and work these different senarios out in his own mind. A "babe" with spiritual matters indeed.

How do you find out if someone is being sexually immoral?
