According to Watchtower theology, when a person is difellowshipped he as been cast outside the kingdom to suffer the second death, eternal destruction.
One would hope then, that with such a prospect, Congregations would be very carefull, in passing judgements in that direction.
Yet, the Watchtower actually boasts about its great ability to expell thousands of Witnesses each year, by publishing the figures in their magazines, as a sort of warning to others.
The Watchtower must be the only organization in the World that I know of, that expells tens of thousands of its faithfull adherents each year.
Many loyal Witnesses have been expelled from their organization, simply over things like Blood, neutrality issues or simply raising questions about Watchtower doctrine.
I expect the UN Issue, will be the next cause for further disfellowshipping action.
Walking across a bridge one day, a JW saw a man standing on the edge, about to jump off. he immediately ran over and said "Stop! Don't do it!"
"Why shouldn't I?" he said.
"Well, there's so much to live for!"
"Like what?"
"Well ... are you religious or atheist?"
"Religious."
"Me too said the JW! Are you Christian, Jewish, or Islam??"
"Christian."
"Me too! What church do you belong too?
"Jehovah’s Witnesses"
"Me too! Are you a Ministerial servant/elder?
“Ministerial servant”
WOW! Me too!
Are you a publisher, Auxiliary pioneer or a regular pioneer?
“I am an auxiliary pioneer”
I don’t believe it, so am I! So, what as happened to your kingdom hope?
“ Well, I just read about the watchtower’s involvement with the UN.
”what, you believe that Apostate crap?”
“Yes”
“Well you deserve to die, heretic scum!" and so pushed him off.
