Well, I don't know whether "through" and "in" makes such a big difference. What I do remember is that my first and last Judicial Committee hearing (strange word isn't it? It seems to me the appointed "elders" did everything but hearing), in 1986, began with the words, "Well, we called you because we think you are talking too much about Jesus," and ended with disfellowshipment on the grounds of 2Jn 9-11... It really made me laugh however sad I was. When you are used to read an organization's doctrine into a text, what the text plainly states doesn't matter anymore...
Speaking of word changes, I was definitely shocked when "God's Spirit" was replaced with "Organization" in the questions for baptism, in the early 80's. That was a meaningful change for sure...
