This changes things for me. I don't feel like I can be part of the meeting anymore. I'll write about it tonight. I am very upset by this.http://excommunicated.blogspot.com/2007/08/my-brother-has-been-put-out-for-lack-of.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (SAJ)tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5491781.post-3681047729584690617Fri, 20 Apr 2007 21:32:00 +00002007-04-20T14:34:10.063-07:00I found an interesting write up on wikipedia about Plymouth Brethren here.http://excommunicated.blogspot.com/2007/04/i-found-interesting-write-up-on.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (SAJ)tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5491781.post-114753275168211982Sat, 13 May 2006 15:05:00 +00002006-05-13T08:05:51.683-07:00Since I wrote my last post on this here "excommunicated blog", a lot of things have changed. I've rekindled some relationships with family members that had been broken for over 15 years. This is and was a very sad thing. I'm very happy about getting back in touch with my loved ones. No matter how angry I was, I missed them. I love those family members.

Like, were you punished during these situations because you were female, or were the men punished just as equally? A: It does seem to me that women are treated a bit more harshly than men BUT that could be just because I've experienced it first hand and I can't remember any men who were "put out". In theory both men and women http://excommunicated.blogspot.com/2003/06/q-q-was-there-any-gender-bias-in-these.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (SAJ)tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5491781.post-105607067171688285Fri, 20 Jun 2003 00:57:00 +00002003-06-19T18:59:51.536-07:00Discipline “Discipline” consists of being “put away from the Lord’s Table” meaning you can’t participate in the “breaking of bread” or communion ceremony (though they would never call it a ceremony). This isn’t that bad, since I’ve always felt I communed with God in my own way, whether I drank their nasty wine or not. There is something to be said about being with other Christians when you http://excommunicated.blogspot.com/2003/06/discipline-discipline-consists-of.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (SAJ)tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5491781.post-105597666866694286Wed, 18 Jun 2003 22:50:00 +00002003-07-03T11:41:48.310-07:00Here I go, breaking it down: I was raised in a very exclusive “separatist” Christian environment. It’s really hard to explain if you weren’t brought up in the middle of it. There are some sites like this and this written by my Uncle... I'm sure there are more but so far everything I've found is very poorly designed and pretty much unreadable. The nuts and bolts are basically this: 1.
