You Are NOT Disfellowedshipped! Yet.

If you were disfellowedshipped after you made an appeal by the appeal committee,you are NOT yet disfellowedshipped!

In the elder flock book there is a little known "RIGHT" that the rank and file are not told when they lose their appeal.

That is that you have the "RIGHT"to appeal an appeal.You can request the appeal committee to forward their decision to the Branch office and have them review all the decisions once again.

However ,when the appeal committee hides this "RIGHT"from you and does not inform you about this "RIGHT"there is an error in judgment on their part.

Hence you are "NOT"disfellowedshipped when denied this "RIGHT"as outlined in the flock book for elders to follow when hearing an appeal.

I know that as far as the announcement that is made prior to this "RIGHT"everyone will treat you as such,not knowing that there has been a miscarriage of justice against you.

It is true that the branch office may uphold the appeal decision,but, that is not the issue here.

Has anyone ever used this "RIGHT" or,been told of it by the appeal committee and had their decisions overturned.In the case of a family member we were not told.

This information can be found in unit 5 ( c ) part 2.Appealing judicial decisions.

When the disfellowshipping is upheld by the appeal committee there is no further "RIGHT" to appeal.

However,if an individual persists in believing a serious error in judgment has occurred,the appeal committee should inform him that he may submit his allegations in writing to the appeal committee within 7 days for transmittal to the branch office.So there IS a "RIGHT" TO APPEAL FURTHER???

The appeal committee will include this statement along with information being sent to the branch office."No announcement of disfellowshipping should be made until observations are received from the branch office.

Did you notice that the individual may submit his "ALLEGATIONS"????for "TRANSMITTAL"???? Lets see ,you believe a serious error in judgment has occurred and yet it is called an allegation!!!! Anyway,you are not disfellowedshipped yet.Until "OBSERVATIONS" are received from the branch committee,whom you will never appear before?????

AND THIS IS CALLED JUSTICE!!!!!!!!??????

Are the appeals committee and "branch review" really there to serve justice, or just to give the appearance of fairness?

How many times has an appeals committee overturned a disfellowshipping decision of the original committee? If an alleged wrongdoer cannot convince 3 men, how will he convince another 3 to listen? If the appeals committee overturns the first decision, they make the original body of elders look bad. My guess is that it rarely happens!

And what information does the branch office have other than what they're told by the first two committees? If the 6 men of the first two committees are in favor of disfellowshipping, what motivation would the branch office have to overturn the decision?

The appeal commitee will not tell the person that they do have the right to another appeal thru the branch. They will only tell the person if they are told that the accused wants to further the appeal by contesting the decision of both commitees.

Hi GOPHER.The main reason for this post is to find out if anyone has been informed by the appeal committee that they still can appeal further to the branch.

I agree with you,that the likelyhood of the branch overturning the original decision of six men is not going to happen.

If one has not been informed,why not?And if so ,what was the outcome.

Blueblades

Hi MINIMUS.If they don't inform first ,then they are not following the direction from the slave,as per the flock book,as I have posted.

To wait on the accused who may not know his "RIGHTS" and not inform him/her is to deliberately hold back information that could prevent a miscarraige of justice on the part of these righteous men judging in righteousness.

In the last judicial case I was on, the appeal commitee specifically told us that we should NOT mention to the person their right unless THEY brought it up!

Blueblades

Exactly! How can they bring up something that they are not aware of?

Withholding this information deliberately shows that they do not carry on judgment in righteousness and do not represent Christ in personality and character.

Can you picture Christ withholding back an opportunity for justice and mercy for the wrong doer?

Showing compassion and forgiveness looking for every opportunity to restore and save is the way Christ is.

But then we know that already,don't we Minimus.

By the way,I have been reading your posts,I don't always comment,but,they are interesting.When I come home from work I say to myself ,I wonder what Minimus posted today?

What would Jesus do? He didn't have committees to appeal a disfellowshipping. Jesus came to save the world not to condemn it! SHAME ON WATCHERTOWER!
