Perhaps this man brought reproach upon the organization. The same organization that has caused the unnecessary deaths of countless children through the blood ban? The same organization that has publicly promoted several false prophecies? The same organization that built a mansion in San Diego for its bootlegging president? Did Rutherford get disfellowshipped for bringing reproach upon Jehovah's organization with his false predictions? Did any of the Watchtower leadership get disfellowshipped for hyping the 1975 date which brought much ridicule from the public upon Jehovah's organization? No one has done a better of job of bringing reproach upon the organization than the organization itself.
This would be similar to Moses accusing a person of showing disrespect for Jehovah's law by stepping on one of the fragments of the broken tablet . . . the tablet that Moses had just thrown to the ground.
