Maybe they will explain why the announcement change... but since there is no policy change, there is really no for further clarification on this.
Break out your old om book and the quotes above that I provided for you, compare them. They are in essience the same.
There are no secret rules in the flock book as to disfellowshipping and da, they are the same basic rules in the OM book.
The elders as well as other concerned members of the congregation will continue rendering appropriate spiritual assistance to the inactive brother.
This is lipservice. They refused to help my family.
I have faded for 2 Years and as long as i dont assosciate on a social level with the Cong or set foot in the Hall any time soon,i will not be Disfellowshipped!To all those looking for new meaning...there aint none my Friends.
I guess we'll have to wait and see. I see in the wording that you don't have to be going to the hall for them to give you the ax.
New book yadda yadda yadda they always have done what they wanted when they wanted to whom they want
Nothin here to see Move along people , move along

The Watch Tower has paved the express lane for getting shunned.
Join the WMCA on Monday and start getting shunned Thursday night. Hahahaha I love it.
I realize no one's read through the entire book, but it sounds like its just the same old words. Why in the world would they create a special announcement/day for it?
Wouldn't they know it would just piss off the r&f?

There really is no change!

My 2 cents.......
I don't think there is a new df policy, just a new da one. Firstly, its much easier to get da'd by your actions. Its down in black and white so the elders have a green light to go ahead and do it without feeling like they're being heavy handed. And the change in announcement will be the main difference. People will not be shocked that someone has da'd themselves and turned their back on Jehovah, they will assume they were df'd and the rumor mill will go into overdrive.
And of course, somebody who da's will have no legal recourse against the society like somebody who is wrongly df'd. You can't sue someone else for something you did yourself. Could the elders be encouraged by the wbts to da rather than df wherever possible as a legal protection for themselves?
Yeah, Purple had a good point as well as Gadget.
