"Disassociation" - A Word You Cannot Find in the Bible

[Srecko Sostar]

Watchtower religion has some terminology and wording that not existing in Holy Scriptures text. That is the case with word Disassociation. This word is impossible to find in Bible. 

Disassociation

Watch Tower Publications Index 1986-2018

meaning of term: od 142: 

³⁰ The term “disassociation” applies to the action taken by a person who is a baptized member of the congregation but deliberately repudiates his Christian standing by stating that he no longer wants to be recognized as, or known as, one of Jehovah’s Witnesses. Or he might renounce his place in the Christian congregation by his actions, such as by becoming part of a secular organization that has objectives contrary to Bible teachings and therefore is under judgment by Jehovah God.—Isa. 2:4; Rev. 19:17-21. - https://wol.jw.org/en/wol/d/r1/lp-e/1102014944#h=41:0-41:511

If you going to read this two Bible verses you will find that there is nothing about JW member who decide not to be member of JWorg any more. JW (WT GB) policy about people who stopped to be JW member is Artificial rule imposed by WT leaders. 

It is interesting how WT explanation is that disassociated person in fact "shunning" JW bros and sis and congregation. It is good to notice how person who left JWorg are not shunning people who stay to be JW members. Many ex JW members are ready to give smile and greetings to JW when they met them on the street, or to go for a glass of drink with them. If some do "shun" :))) it is for/to those JW who have orthodox and corporative characters, who are fanatics and purposely blind. Such disassociated ones are decided to separate self from WT Corporation and doctrines that are questionable or wrong.

@Srecko Sostar Actually it derives from Excommunication, to the root form being Expel or Expelling.

This brings us to this question, what good does a person with no spirituality contribute to the church? 

money!

RULE NO. 1.)  ... IT'S ALL ABOUT MONEY!

RULE NO. 2.) .... SEE RULE NO. 1.)

This is true when ANY religion evolves to the point that the Leadership does not have to do hard labor in the commercial world, such as the Apostle Paul did, making tents .. and the Apostle Luke did, as a physician, or the other Apostles did as fishermen or day laborers.

It gets worse when any religion starts collecting Real Estate, and the Leaders never miss any meals, and always sleep warm at night.

In the history of the world, there have never, EVER been any exceptions ....

...and there arn't any now.
