re: #75 Walter L. Newton

I’m not insisting, I’m just asking why isn’t disfellowshipping an option. Get rid of all those “not a Christian’s.”

Because that assumes that churches - particularly the smaller nondenominational ones - know their membership (many don’t; they make a big deal of “everyone’s welcome!”) and what their other affiliations are.

If pastors want to do that, it’s admirable. But unless you’re a member of a church, your question makes me tired. You’re acting as if there’s a monolithic bloc, and as if “disfellowshipping” were a common thing.
