The reason I'm asking is because I have a friend who was disfellowshipped on one of those two years, I forget which. He disagreed with them, and that's the reason for it.
Anyways I got to thinking how much has the Watchtower changed since that time period. I left it back in 2001, and never went back. I was talking about some of the things that the Watchtower use to teach when I was going, and he had never heard of some of the catch terms that the Watchtower loves to use. I know that there are many things that they use to teach, that are now an embarrasment to them, that they no longer teach. Back in the early 1980's mom was inactive, and I was quite young so I don't know of everything they talked about back then. Yet on the same hand, there are things that they taught, when I was going, it's not taught now. I hoping I'm not confusing anyone with what I'm trying to say.
