Reply #78: Nobody does this

The Catholic Church did this kind of quasi-excommunication hundreds and hundreds of years ago. But now it's supposed to be a completely official act. I've heard of some fundy churches kicking people out, I forget the term for it. I had a friend who wore a spaghetti strap summer dress to a fundy church and the "elders" had a coronary and called her in for some sort of special meeting. She's like 5 feet tall, tiny little thing, mother of 4, and they got upset over spaghetti straps. She quit. Jehovah's totally ostracize their members, literally don't even speak to someone who leaves their church or gets kicked out. Bizarro. I'm sick of the whole mess. If a God couldn't come up with a better relgious plan than this, he's not all that smart.
