Jacob and Joshua Miller of Nemesis Claim to Have Been Officially "Disfellowshipped'' by the Jehovah's Witnesses


LOS ANGELES--(BUSINESS WIRE)--The following is a joint statement by Jacob and Joshua Miller of the pop-rock band Nemesis and reality stars of "Jacob & Joshua: Nemesis Rising":

The two of us were just informed that last night a Jehovah's Witness meeting took place in our hometown of Kalispell, Montana. At this meeting it was announced to all members of the Jehovah's Witness organization that we have been, as Jehovah's Witnesses would say, "disfellowshipped" (excommunicated) because of our homosexuality and our participation in our reality show, "Jacob & Joshua: Nemesis Rising," on Logo.

According to Jehovah's Witness doctrine, being "disfellowshipped" means that we have been found guilty of unrepentant gross misconduct. Our immediate family is to have limited or no contact with us. And all other practicing Jehovah's Witnesses around the world are not to speak with us ever again.

Although we are no longer Jehovah's Witnesses, we have nothing but love for those individuals who have been asked to shun us. We will continue to be in contact with our family and those who truly love us unconditionally as long as they're willing.
We find it ironic that a religion whose members are asked to knock on the doors of strangers with a message of acceptance into paradise on Earth will not accept two of its own children for who they really are. Our wish for them is one of tolerance and understanding and we send to all of them a message of peace and love.

I'd never heard of them, but I found this Wikipedia entry about them:

I always wondered how to get rid of door to door bible thumpers, flying a pride flag should do it. My sister is a mormon and the fact that her daughter, our brother and I are all gay (not to mention my mom who she does not know about) must be hell for her.
 
I thought the best way to get rid of Bible-pushing door knockers was to let them into the gates only to be lost for all eternity in a maze from which there is not but insanity. Bwahahahahaha!
 
in related news, Oprah Winfrey has been disowned by the local Ku Klux Clan.













Not the Brightest bulbs, are they?

I'm still waiting to see if they take any action against their parents, since they appeared on a couple episodes of the show, too. This could get interesting.

Thank you. Whether you agree with Jehovah Witnesses, or not, they have their set of rules. And that's their right. You choose whether to abide by them. That's your right. And if you don't, don't expect them to do nothing. But I must say, I do admire them when they say:

Although we are no longer Jehovah's Witnesses, we have nothing but love for those individuals who have been asked to shun us. We will continue to be in contact with our family and those who truly love us unconditionally as long as they're willing.

That's a hell of a lot more mature than calling JW's all kinds of names.

Exactly what did happen. When the record label asked them to come out, they said this is what the church would do. No matter if they knew it would happen, still sucks that some church is telling their family they should have limited or no contact with them. Next thing you know, the church will be telling their members to drink the juice ala Jim Jones. Talk about emotional blackmail to control people.
 
Both RL and I were members of the JW's! So we both know where the JW's are coming from! And yes it is a persons choosing to follow their rules or not. But there have been a few cases where the disfellowshipping was NOT necessary, or unjust, and there is no appeal process in place, once it has been done, that it it!
But I get off topic. . .
Like RL said, it will be interesting to see if the JW's take action against the parents, for appearing in the show!
 
Ahhh organized religion: Even the most tolerant ones contribute to the roots of all of this world's major problems.

Can't live with 'em....... that's about it I guess.
 
I hope their family doesn't cut contact with Jacob and Joshua... :(

Its awesome to have a good duo that is both gay and ex jw's!
