dozy It is as other posters have said, when you actually state that you no longer comply or want to do something anymore that's an essential part of being a JW, action ensues simply because the elders have been 'trained' to respond with the full inquisition techniques. Probably, they know that their attempts to have you 'walk the line' again and attend the occasional meeting will be futile, but they have to go through the motions nonetheless. Taking such action enables them to be able to inform the congregation as to why you no longer attend meetings, probably proceed with a JC and shortly announce that you're either DFd or perhaps,have DAd yourself. That pretty much wraps everything up neatly, then everyone in the JWs will begin to do what they've been carefully programmed to do - shun you!
