I don't think so. I believe that if they decide to have it, there's nothing legallyspeaking, that you can do to thwart it.
What's your opinion???
Can U Stop The Elders From Having A Judicial Committee Against You?

How about a little sugar placed simultaneously in three different gas tanks?
Oh, darn. You did say "legally speaking" didn't you.
Nope. I guess there's nothing you can do.

I dont recall the "Flock" books spin on stopping a JC. I dont really think there would be any practical way to stop on if the ball started rolling.
Unless you bought the Circuit Overseer... or have some special Uncle on the GB. The Civil courts (US) would say it's a religious matter and beg off.

My guess is that if you threaten with legal action against each elder individually, the meeting may not go away, but there will be no public announcement afterwards.

From what I can see, it doesn't matter if you refuse to recognize their authority....they CAN, if they so desire, meet behind closed doors and slander you. And there's nuthin' you can really do about it.

Let me share something with you minimus. Once at a Host Visit, the DO told me "If you think you need to disfellowship, go ahead and disfellowship and woryy about the appeal later"

Stilla, I've heard that said before.
FFM,I know of an elder who tried to convince the elders to disfellowship a man who had committed suicide!
