adults soberly and dispassionately discussed the fate of this woman, whether she should be stripped of church membership in order to keep the church pure and to drive out the evil inside her.
Disfellowshipping. Familiar. To produce godly sorrow. But was never enacted without the three step process with 2-3 verses they thought addressed kicking someone out. They always talked about how no one preached fire and brimstone and consequences anymore - there's too much about God loving everyone. That utterance always deeply saddened me.
