If I still believe in Jehovah, and witness about him, how is it not slander for them to announce that I'm no longer a witness of jehovah? Please, if I have a valid argument here I will no doubt use it when I am forced out of the congo.
Interesting... one could argue that the elders are slandering you by saying that you changed your faith in god when you have not.
I guess it comes down to exactly what the elder says:
[Name] Is no longer one of Jehover's Witnesses.
This statement is an expression of one's faith - something that someone else cannot do for you without slandering you.
[Name] in no longer a Jehover's Witness.This statement is expressing membership with an organization.
