I can speak only Japanese. Please allow my strange English.
I show you a certain very important material.

Please observe the photograph of the middle.
What a BIG size flag(the Stars and Stripes) this is!
Junzo Akashi, The first overseer of the Japan branch(Todaisha), protested against the president (Nathan H. Knorr).
And he said,
“The Society compromised with this world.”
And he was disfellowshipped.
This is the true reason he was disfellowshipped from the organization.
Therefore, I respect him.
