[i]Children should get away from disfellowshipped parents as soon as they are old enough to leave. (Watchtower, 11/15/52, p. 703. )
If a child of some uld you kick a member of your own family out of your house for not being a JW anymore? [/b]
I'm not trying to be condesending if you'd be willing to listen to the point I'm trying to make and get the chip off your shoulder for a minute.
You and RAj are quoting from older issues of the Watchtower and the understanding has become clearer on how to handle this subject.
But you guys are making it sound like we kick our kids out on the street and I've never seen that happen ever with any families that have known and that had one of their kids disfellowshipped. I've never even heard of that happening.
This is a very rare thing to happen if it ever does at all. The only reason that this would happen and then the child would have to be of a later teenage years is if he were of a physical threat or absolutly would be out of total control and trying to completely disrupt the family spiritually or bringing in some type of satanic worship or something.
Geeeez you guys are so knee jerk in your thinking and jump at the slightest mention of something especially when MR. Anti Christ Raj here starts up this mindless bantor he's such a pro at.
Perhaps you should ask us about the facts instead of this ignorant fly off the handle reaction crap that seems to be so popular here and listen to someone who knows nothing like Raj..........
