So a spouse's word equals two eye witnesses?
Oooo This used to anger me to no end. The spouse's word equals concrete proof because that spouse is still an active member of the cong.
The inactive person *must* be engaging in sinful practices and is absence due to either guilty conscience or secret sin(s). There would be no other possible explanation for turning one's back on Jehovah, in their eyes.
Active witnesses fully believe this crap. Many inactive witnesses do, too - until the accusations are pointed at them.
Foolishness. I'm happy for your sister, but saddened for the injustice and defamation directed at her.
-Aude.
