7 day lock

@AverageSue :
Do you let strangers in your home?
You have no idea what you are saying?
If someone who is not trustworthy would you let them in your home?
Same would you want to know if someone was not trustworthy or would you prefer to stay blind.
We cannot choose who come through the doors at the Kingdom Hall, it is not like you can just block someone or lock them out.
@AverageSue :
Let me ask you this: if someone intended to harm your children, would you want to know about it or remain unaware? Shunning is informing the congregation about a wrongdoing that has occurred. Now?

Question is if they were disfellowshipped it is because they did wrong. According to the Bible it (1 Corinthians 5:11-13) 11 But now I am writing you to stop keeping company with anyone called a brother who is sexually immoral or a greedy person or an idolater or a reviler or a drunkard or an extortioner, not even eating with such a man. 12 For what do I have to do with judging those outside? Do you not judge those inside, 13 while God judges those outside? "Remove the wicked person from among yourselves."

@tntrecycling : What if they participated in an interfaith activity? Even going to a different church to ask about what they believe could be grounds for disfellowshipping.

@MadScientist :
Question: You get baptized as a Witness. So, you don't believe in what you were baptized. Do you understand that meetings and telling people of Jehovah are the 2 most important thing. Simple isn't it. Today if you say it's too strict. Is that your choice same as him who got disfellowshipped. Cain looked at what Abel had and felt jealous. Are you looking at someone's else's stand each not what others do. I can tell you the grass is greener. Like everything until YOU see it's not likely.

@tntrecycling :
The Torah has a 7 year limit on contracts where you owe money. You can't foolishly commit yourself to something for the rest of your life. Being baptized as a JW has no time limit.

@MadScientist :
Yes, once baptized you're in the military of Jehovah. Now haw strict is the military. Becoming a member of a worldwide brother hood. We have our government in place just waiting. In the Bible It states like dew drop they will come.

The lockness monster almost got this discussion!

The UAE is leaving OPEC on May 1st. They say they are restricting their oil production more than other members of OPEC, who don't have as much oil to supply. They are located to the east of Oman and are still affected by the US blockadeof the Persian Gulf, for the time being.

Donald Trump has been elected as President twice in 10 years. Biden took office only once.Just a test to see how sensitive the automated gb is. Are non controversial facts also prohibited? Can just saying the name do it?

Does anyone know where I can get a good tuna salad sandwich in Madrid?

@EastBluffCynic :
