LOL!!! Excellent!!! That was perfect ... along the lines that I intend to use when the time comes. So far they have been leaving me alone ... however, it will come to a confrontation with the un-Godly followers of a man-made-religion at some point. Mine will be a letter of Dissociation ... not Disfellowshipping. Berean (can't be an apostate against a man-made religion ... only against God (Jehovah) himself)

Yadda,
Among other things, the "Flock" book (pp. 94,95) states:
"Apostasy includes action taken against true worship of Jehovah or his established order among his dedicated people.... People who deliberately spread (stubbornly hold to and speak against) teachings contrary to Bible truth as taught by Jehovah's Witnesses are apostates.... The Bible condemns the following: causing divisions and promoting sects. This would be deliberate action disrupting the unity of the congregation or undermining the confidence of the brothers in Jehovah's arrangement. It may involve or lead to apostasy. (Romans 16:17,18...)"
Romans 16:17 was quoted as an explanation of the Elders' decision to disfellowship the author of the letter.
(Since the Society promotes its own sect and creates divisions by its unscriptural disfellowshiping policy, perhaps it requires disfellowshiping.)
