I think this older post on your forum explains a lot of what I was looking for:

What I was vaguely alluding to about WT sanctions was from a vague memory I have about some congregations that evidently do not legally belong to the WTS after the congregation pays for them, but my memory about it is vague.
Incidently, although I rarely post on this board, the name "scully" often appears in my threads as though s/he is someone who evidently knows me.
I have absolutely not the vaguest idea who s/he is. I only remember it because the name makes me think of a skull. Do I know you?
