> [@Loach](#): > > I hope I’m not coming across like a junior mod but wasn’t “go disfellowship yourself” ruled against the rules? Or maybe my memory is faulty. junior explainer hat on I guess it could be taken that way but I did not mean “go eff yourself”. I meant disfellowship in the real meaning since that’s what this thread is about, doubie\_monty’s view on it being a good thing. disfellowship, as I take it to mean from the context of this and the other IMHO thread, means for your church to kick you out and your church and family and friends to shun you. So I meant that he should kick himself out of his church and shun himself. It was meant to be nonsensical and a joke. junior explainer hat off or maybe you were making a joke and I got whooshed.
