  Were you illegally disfellowshipped?

  based on "official" bible based doctrine, were you "illegally disfellowshipped?

  i have been reading many threads on disfellowsipping, and it makes me wonder if there were many who were disassociated, or thrown out of the org.

  for reasons other than what the watchtower officially teaches?

  Yes as far as I'm concerned. If not doing anything wrong and nothing being proved counts. I asked them to show me where it says in the bible that I wasn't allowed to speak to a married man (yes that is what it was!) they showed me some bizarre scripture in Job which they twisted to mean that I had to do what they wanted. I said that if they proved that talking to him was a disfellowshipping offence - I'm not gonna ignore the guy if he comes up to me in the street. Why should I? Nothing had happened - I hadn't kissed him or anything! - then if they proved it then I would do it. So they came up with Job. I said to them that what they were saying is that they could ask me to do anything they wanted and even if they couldn't prove it scripturally, I had no choice but to go along with it or be disfellowshipped. You know what? They said "YES"!!!! There were no witnesses to anything but another "sister" who was commiting adultery with a ministerial servant, tried to cover their indiscretions up by trying to be perfect little witnesses and make up stories about me and this guy which weren't true. They were believed, I wasn't, I was out. That was 10 years ago and I've never looked back. It proved to me everything that I needed to know.
