Is Disfellowship Physically and Spiritually Necessary

Originally posted by robbie carrobie
You asked me what the Biblical perspective was, what the procedure was...

Would elders trying to turn a person's spouse against them or separate them from their children be 'disfellowshippable' and, if not, what Bible reference would justify treating a married couple in that way?

Not only have i not read what he alleges, I am uninterested in reading it or commenting on it are answering questions about it. I hope i will not have to repeat this again.

But it's the topic of this thread.

How were you able to question his integrity ~ as roigam and galveston75 have ~ if you "have not read what he alleges"?

sorry this is another speculative question with no bais in scripture and as i have stated i prefer not to comment on anything i know little about. if you ask me about something that is actually in the Bible then i can comment in good conscience.

I have told you what i read, I made a comment on what i have read, you will now make reference to that. How can a witness forget to tell the elders that he is going for elective surgery? Is it such a small thing that he forgets about it until the day? How can a witness forget to tell the hospital that he has specific medical needs? perhaps he was daydreaming at the time, oh by the way i forgot to tell you i am one of Jehovahs witnesses, ooops.

I am simply asking you about the Bible and about your understanding of JW principles.

Which Bible verses state that someone must not forget to tell the elders that he is going for elective surgery?

You haven't told me which verses could justify elders trying to split a married couple up.

You are not addressing the content in rather transparent and predictable fashion. How can a witness forget to tell the elders that he is going for elective surgery and the hospital that he is a Witness?

Where is this alleged obligation laid out in the Bible?

I know of no verse nor of any Elders who have actually attempted to split up anyone. I know of many verses and many elders which try to keep couples together though, why don't you ask me about them?

there may be no obligation, i am simply wondering how he could forget to tell both the Elders and the Hospital, perhaps you can elucidate?

So if elders did do what has been described on this thread, you would condemn it unequivocally as being un-biblical?
