Mortal Sin - Jehovah's Witnesses

Jehovah's Witnesses

See also: Jehovah's Witnesses and congregational discipline

Jehovah's Witnesses recognize a special class of sin for which a Christian must formally repent in prayer to God; they term these "serious sins". Baptized Witnesses are expected to seek counsel and correction from congregation elders for even a single commission of a "serious sin"; the sinner may be formally reproved or disfellowshipped if a judicial committee considers him unrepentant.
