(1 Corinthians 5:11) Regarding everyone who “does not remain in the teaching of the Christ,” we read: “Do not receive him into your homes or say a greeting to him. ... For the one who says a greeting to him is a sharer in his wicked works.”
This is why we do not converse with him. A scripture you no doubt condemn..

Where did I call him a liar or say he was dishonest? It is you who are worse then dishonest. You are an instigator of evil and confusion and disunity and you love it too don't you?
Hummm that's the description of satan I do believe.

Of course if you think beauroberts is telling the truth please correct my understanding.

Your church has cast the beauroberts out at the time he needed you most; the leaders have tried to drive a wedge between him and his wife and children. And you defend this as being "Christian" behaviour. You should be ashamed of yourself. Just be user your father got sucked into this sham doesn't mean you have to too you know.

You do nothing but dilute God's words and commands and insult and condemn anyone that does and try to live their best by them.
What a waist.....

Your leadership have abandoned him when he needed them most. I have offered a hand of friendship, pragmatic advice and an arm to lean on if required. What have you done apart from cast aspersions on his integrity?

Where in the Bible is there a verse that can be used to justify obliging a Christian to tell members of his congregation that he's being treated in a hospital?
Ask dive dude as he for sure knows it all.

A member of this site and posting forum has contracted cancer and needed surgery.
During the surgery he needed a blood transfusion
He accepted the transfusion and his life has (albeit in the short term) been saved
Next...
His local Kingdom Hall kick him out of the congregation
The leaders also attempt to stop him and his wife fellowshipping together (as if it's any of their business what they do at home)
He posts his account here over several posts - a balanced, gentle and sincere account
Next...
Roigam, Galveston75 and robbie carrobie wade in accusing the man of being less than honest with the truth and casting aspersions on his honestly, spirituality and ability to give his own testimony.
You are a bunch of mean-spirited cultists with no regard for anyone who questions your religious beliefs. It's all about control and power - there is no compassion, love, caring UNLESS there is conformity to your rules. What a bunch.

Originally posted by galveston75Just because your father is/was a Jehovah's Witness's does not mean you have to follow that path. I don't see why you would think that obvious observation has anything to do with a lack of spirituality.
Whoooosh! The sound of spirituality flying over your head. C Ya!

Yes, most Christian churches accept this scripture, and rightly so. If anybody where to pervert the teachings of Christ and preach divisive heretical doctrines, that person should be excommunicated.
What we have here is nothing of the kind. It is NO teaching of Crist. The "abstaining from blood" was a suggestion by the council at Jerusalem, and as pointed out here numerous times, referred to eating. I.e. stuff going into your stomach.
Even if one WOULD stretch this to mean :" any intake of blood into your body whatsoever" (which is a loooooooong stretch) it is still by no stretch of the imagination a teaching of Christ and hence a reason for excommunication.
ALL other Christian groups see it this way, so your basing this blood thing on Galatians or Corinthians is erroneous.
