If he is attending meetings via zoom, perhaps someone can keep an eye on the local bottle shops.

What is the last "official" view on ex-jws formerly known as "inactive"? Is it possible now to have been announced from the platform as "no longer a jw" (disassociated) and not know it? (no letter or call).

Some of the case files still show on Google https://casetext.com/case/cobb-v-brede-6
I was googling the plaintiffs tonight and came across the reason one of the Elders who were disfellowshipped could no longer be found.
WALTER ARLEN ST. CLAIR, the simple and sincere Elder who dared to question turning over the kingdom hall and congregation funds to Watchtower Corp.(and was disfellowshiped as a result), slipped from a roof while washing skylights at the age of 75, hit a walkway, and died.
"At 4:41 p.m. on November 2, 2020, Employee #1(Arlen) was packing up his gear and getting ready to depart the job site. The employee was an independent contractor hired by the homeowner to clean exterior skylights. The skylights were located on a slightly pitched wood shingle roof that had a height of nine feet from the eaves. The employee was working alone. A neighbor saw the employee lying unconscious on a walkway. The employee was located ten feet from the leading edge of the roof and not near his ladder. The employee was killed by blunt force trauma due to falling from the roof." -OSHA report. :( A sad ending for a sincere follower of Watchtower. No Obit.

Would I be disfellowshiped for this?
by ExBethelitenowPIMA inif a publisher openly told the elders that they thought the gb were wrong about some or a lot of things, but said they will not share these thoughts with anyone else then would this be a case of disassociation disgfellowship?.
my guess is lots of elders meetings and shepherding calls to try to get you to say something they could use against you.. but what would be the sin in which you are not repented?.
the only reason to be dissed is non repentance?.

In the last few years, in the US, some have been disfellowshipped in absentia. No meeting.
Apostasy. "Walking disorderly" . "causing divisions". "Jezebel influence"
If 2-3 Elders can ask you "the loyalty questions" in a roundabout way on the phone...even one on the line with a speakerphone (others listening in... or recorder), that is sufficient.
Simply keep your mouth shut...smile... and change the subject. Caller ID, and an answering machine works wonders.

Tony Morris was an orderly in a hospital in Vietnam, not a combat medic. PTSD would be stolen valor on his part.
He is a garden-variety drunk and pompous ass.

Once again this was a tragic event. However, I am interested in how this affects the thinking process of the rank-and-file JW. For decades JWs read and heard how the "Angels protect JWs in service and at meetings". Obviously, when the GB canceled all meetings in person for 2 years they didn't believe Jehovah could stop a virus. (Our local Pentecostal Churches kept meeting in person believing god would protect them from snakebites, poison, or COVID).
How has this affected any PIMI JWs you know?

30 years ago David Koresh and his WACO Adventist cult experienced their "Armageddon". Great documentary on Net Flix.
by Balaamsass2 ina fascinating look into the human mind, cults, religion, child abuse, and mental illness colliding with government bureaucracy.. 3rd gen and i watched this tonight.
impossible not to see some similarities between watchtower teachings, fear-mongering, and its "compounds".. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=scz2x7r_xxc.

The bunker mentality and fear of outside "Worldly People" were palpable at Brooklyn headquarters when I was there. I had to keep a straight face and not roll my eyes when I asked Knorr's assistant, Dave Mercante about them. The number of tunnels, unmarked subterranean locked rooms, emergency generators, and multi-month food storage would make any Mormon or Koresh follower proud.

How far has Watchtower and the GB of Jehovah's Witnesses gone to stalk and silence critics?
by Balaamsass2 inwe have all watched some of the documentaries about the church of scientology hiring detectives to stalk and harass their former members,( their "apostates").
i have heard of individual cases of rabid jw elders stalking ex-jws, and of course, one would expect some enforcement of corporate copyright infringement on anti-jw websites.. what were the most outrageous jw "stalking" or investigation stories you remember?.
tonight's 60 minutes into ebay stalking a middle-aged couple who writes a newsletter reminded me a lot of the menlo park congregation watchtower "takeover", closure, and stalking of local elders to mind.

Lee, that Watchtower Quotes site was one of the first "apostate" sites that really got under my skin and started crawling around in my head. I had all those old books and the quotes were 100% accurate. A very effective site.
