Jehovah's Witnesses used to call disfellowshipping pagan? 1947 Awake!

#exjw #jehovahswitnesses #JW

Regardless of the reason an individual chooses to leave Watchtower, they will be aggressively shunned by every Jehovah's Witness. They're taught to 'not even say a word' to someone who is disfellowshipped.

Jehovah's Witnesses, did you know that the practice of disfellowshipping/excommunicating someone has pagan roots?

I was a JW for 31 years and I didn't! This video covers the January 8th, 1947 Awake! in which the WT clearly points out the pagan origins of this practice.

Just 5 years later, the WT did a complete 180-degree turn and begin using the tool of disfellowshipping as a control mechanism.
