Watchtower praises disfellowshipping-Media

I go to my JW Mother in laws house every weekend. We cut her grass and do any other job she has ready for us! She knows I have been disassociated for at least 15 years. We eat together..go out and eat together..she has "friends" over and they eat with me.
She always gives me a big hug when we get there..(She is 2 hours away)
One thing I was waiting to see this weekend .....I saw the post on the Aug. Kingdom ministry. About associating with those Disfellowshiped and Disassociated.I was wondering what impact that would have on her. So I went up and hugged her as usual..small hug back! Also not quite as friendly as she has been..to her Inactive son or myself. Hummm!
She did have lunch with us though! That I would think would be a direct No No!
Also...she is hinting that she wants us to buy a lawnmower she can operate and ride! She will pay for it. The other one is too old and hard for her to operate.(She is 80 geez!)
Anyway it sounds to me like she is trying to make a break? She has even inquired of her "Friends" how much they pay to get their grass cut..She has a mini farm so it take us about 2 hours to cut it!...NO CHARGE!
Now this is a complete turnaround for her! She used to talk (recently) about how she wanted us to go in together and buy a house with a Mother in law quarters so we could live together! No matter she has a JW daughter and son in law in NY that would love to have her!
As we left..I noticed her bookbag on the steps. It had the Kingdom Ministry sticking out the top..(With article on shunning in it.).Hint?..Who knows..time will tell!
And it really does depend on where you live and the congregation you go to as to how severely they follow up on "shunning".

My question is: Who here know of anyone who was disfellowshipped "recently" for associating with a disfellowshipped family member? (Only for that, not with any other issue)
I talked to an elder about an elder who was having open association with his disfellowshipped daughter. He had no explanation for me other than he would say something to that elder. The excuse: it was concerning financial reasons. Hah! I have never heard of someone being DF'd for this. Lose privileges? Yes, I've heard of that but usually the R&F such as being in the school. No elders have ever been removed for this and they are the worst offenders.

Thanks Randy. I must agree with Sisteract! Obsequiousness on display, I'd say.
Cheers, Ozzie

Hello cbm52!
Welcome to our forum - hope you stick around. The WTBTS is trying to pull away from disfellowshipping (at least before this recent, stupid, rash of them) and was bent (because of legal problems) to have jw's "disassociate themselves by their actions." Meaning, if I put up a Christmas tree in my front yard, I would, by my own actions, disassociate myself from the jw's. And technically, I would be completely shunned.
Actually, the implication behind disassociation is worse than disfellowshipping. A disfellowshipped person sinned. A disassociated person willfully is going against Jehovah's commands. A disassociated person is an apostate - Satan's Follower. Lol, some braindead jw referred to Ray Franz as "Satan's Sperm." Yuck.
As you've read, the August KM is indoctrinating the local jw dubs to take a hardline again towards FAMILY who are df'd, da'd. We love our families.......and our families can take us out of the org. The WTBTS knows this - so kill the family. Efficient, eh?
Thanks, Randy - always appreciate your good information.
