    just as we were being assimilated, there was some kind of dust-up
    in the elder body and one of them moved his family 40 miles east
    and across the state border, to ultimately become an entirely
    DF'd family (wife, 4 kids incl).... they were just nasty after that...
    smoking, boozing, teen mothers and fathers.... i doubt sincerely
    there was any sort of apostacy racing thru their minds...

    the DF's/ DA's were all at least superficially related to immorality...
    mostly youth in rebellion, some of whom have "returned" but
    one look at their facebook pages and it is evident that they are
    "double-life" seat warmers... several of them have their JW accounts
    (swear to gods! saw one yesterday that had "witnessing" as one
    of her "likes".... but also know she has a second account that is
    very locked down)....

    i havent seen any overt displays of apostacy, where the b0rg itself
    was being held to account, mostly a realization that there was more
    to life than the monotonous drudgery of a dr0ne's life

    if i am DF'd, and gods know i have tried, i have no idea the grounds
    upon which it will have been determined... i am VERY public in an
    advocacy organization for the LGBTQ community, including having
    just recently moderating a panel discussion for a nationally released
    documentary on school bullying.... not sure if that can be interpreted
    as anything other than apostacy, but it might be considered immoral....

    i hope so!

    ETA: there is one woman i had really liked who has a trememdous
    struggle with alcohol, served time for multiple DUI arrests.... at one
    point i "reached out" to her through a letter, telling her i was OUT
    and asking her if she was interested in getting together.... never
    heard back... i HOPE she hasnt gone back in some fit of contrition!!
