Still too early to arrive at any conclusions. Even Ray Franz who actually was charged with apostasy and barely escaped being DFed at Bethel was given a payout of $10,000. I'd imagine that regardless of what happened with AMIII, they're going to want to keep him a JW if at all possible and taken care of either on or off Bethel premises.
If Tony writes a book or goes to the media, it's game over and they know it.

If any GB member could be counted on to do a drunken confessional livestream, it might be Tony Morris...

A prayer for Tony's family and not for Tony? Doesn't sound good ...

Tony Morris departure is not accidental it coincides with the 2 NEW governing body members being brought in only last month. I believe Mark Sanderson who sees himself as the new Nathan Knorr is moving the strings behind the scenes. In the same way Nathan Knorr oversaw the massive changes after the embarrassing reign of Judge Rutherford so it is now. Mark Sanderdon wants to see off the old guard, Tony,Lett and Sam that are 3 embarrassing fools that have damaged the organisation the past 20 years with the mishandling of pedophilia cases and the demise of the religious to nothing more but a very toxic brand

To me, all information so far pieced together, sounds like he was subjected to a Judicial Committee and reproofed, lost privileges, which included being booted from the GB, but not from Bethel. In the spirit of how the JWs interpret 2 Thessalonians 3:15, this fits.
Now, to subject a senior member of a GB to a JC may be seen as part of a purge, of course. It may well be the case of younger softliners getting rid of the embarrassing hardline oldtimers. Tony Morris' drinking habits may have been the perfect excuse. Who needs another judge Rutherford these days?

We will have to watch very carefully in the next month or two where the admonition leads. We will have to read within the lines for catch words and phases that will tell us the real reason TightPants got the boot. I do believe the act is disciplinary.
I can't stand that man.

I hope he posts a video in a drunken stupor about how much he hates us all.
Oh god, I hope does.
I would laugh harder than watching Monty Python and the Holy Grail when I was 10 years old.
