All words are made up words. Is google or Yahoo in an English lexicon? Is Internet in there yet? Someone had to come up with a word for whatever that is that is not exactly an excommunication because an excommunication is a procedure and most Churches dont' follow any rules except getting rid of some people as silently and coldly as possible. What do we call that? Oh, dis-fellowship-ed works. To call it a dismembership is perhaps more accurate but it tends to put law enforcement on major misunderstanding alert unnecessarily. Disfellowshipped works better.
Yes it is an actual word.[dis-fel-oh-ship] Show IPA
noun, verb, -shiped, -ship·ing or ( especially British ) -shipped, -ship·ping.
–noun
1. (in some Protestant religions) the status of a member who, because of some serious infraction of church policy, has been denied the church's sacraments and any post of responsibility and is officially shunned by other members.
Shouldn't it be spelled with one 'p'? Aren't all words 'made up.'?!!!
"Disfellowship" is in Webster's Third New International Dictionary -- but then again, who goes by what dictionaries write these day? Certainly not most people in Yahoo!
good, breaking apart a phrase into ingredients isnt consistently the nice option to fully grasp it is roots. do that: The phrase "politics" comes from the Greek phrase "????????" (politika), modeled on Aristotle's "political beliefs", the title of his e-book on governing and governments, which was once rendered in English mid-15 century as Latinized "Polettiques".[four] Thus it grew to become "politics" in Middle English c. 1520s (see the Concise Oxford Dictionary). The singular "politic" first coined in English 1430 and is derived from Middle French "politique", in flip from Latin "politicus",[five] that is the romanization of the Greek "?????????" (politikos), that means among others "of, for, or on the subject of residents", "civil", "civic", "belonging to the state", [6] in flip from "???????" (polites), "citizen"[7] and that from "?????" (polis), "town".[eight] it is like pronouncing the bible is honestly referring to two balls.. >_> however yeah i am getting what you are pronouncing haha. politics is messy and stuffed with deception.

Ask the Jehovah's Witness's - they invented - seriously - they can kick you out if they deem it (Not Christian in nature is it)
