  Read today about the Brother who was disfellowshipped for condemning the use of the OSCILLOCLAST. (A glorified ouija board used by Rutherford and others into the 40's)

  Years later the WT condemned it on the very same grounds, but did not reinstate the lucky guy. Got me thinking about convenience "DFing"

  One new catchall is when someone disagrees with the elders. The charge thesedays is 'loose conduct' - now defined as "a shameless disregard for authority" can anyone remember the bible dictionary they quoted from at the end of the 70's re Ephesians 4:19 where the definition is "a shameless disregard for decency"?

  Has anyone here been DFed on the new definition of loose conduct? Do you feel it was a convenince DF?

  Oh the depth and wisdom of theocratic strategy.

  Yep, it's quite nauseating. They call it "running ahead of the Organization" which means when translated:

  "We're even stupider than what we look, because if YOU can see something before WE do, then that means that Jehovah isn't "using" us at all."

  When someone, a R&F Witness, realizes something years before the F&DSC and they say something publically, you can certainly be DF'd. If the GB eventually come to the same conclusion, they will still not acknowledge that they did anything wrong, and the person will still be disfellowshipped.

  Christianity at it's finest.
