The elders are committed to helping the individual find their way back, reflecting God's love and mercy as shown in 2 Corinthians 2:7-8.
What steps will the elders take to assist one who has been removed from the congregation?Is the individual who has been removed from the congregation abandoned—left completely on his own to find his way back to Jehovah? By no means! When informing an unrepentant wrongdoer that he will be removed from the congregation, the committee of elders will explain to him what steps he can take to return to the congregation. But the elders will do even more. In most cases, they will tell the wrongdoer that they would like to meet with him again after a few months have passed to see if he has had a change of heart. If the wrongdoer is willing to meet with them again, the elders will at that subsequent meeting make a warm appeal for him to repent and return. Even if he has not had a change of heart at that time, the elders will make periodic efforts to contact him in the future.
Make a comment, very short sentence, and understandable, and use the JW bible
