    I cannot find written anywhere that after 6 months without preaching activities reported you are considered an inactive JW.

    Where is this written? Or is it a non-written rule?

    Thanks.

    It's scattered about here and there. The latest reference is in the June 2020 WT, page 18, footnote to paragraph 2.

    EXPRESSION EXPLAINED: An inactive publisher is someone who has not reported any activity in the preaching and disciple-making work for six months or more. Even so, inactive ones are still our brothers and sisters, and we love them.

    And we show our love by bullying the inactive ones (are no longer on the list of fieldservice groups), not inviting them to social events, stalking them more often through elders, and talking to them as little as possible. Like all other cults.

    I never cease to be amazed how openly they can lie with a straight face!

    Does 22 years count as inactive? I'm not DF or DA.

    The procedure was laid out in the old “ Organisation Book” , I don’t know what a modern equivalent might be.

    When I was a Secretary I used to remove the non reporting publishers cards to the back of the box in a separate inactive section. There they were quietly forgotten.
