It might be helpful for you to have the elder manual so that you can judge for yourself. (Link at bottom) You can search in the book to answer your questions. Remember, if two elders show up at your door and ask you if you still want to be a JW and you say "No", they can disfellowship you. They can also disfellowship you if you say "No" on the phone!
When a JW decides that they no longer want to "practice" the "traditions" that JW's are known for, then they are "marked" and if they do not change, more than likely there will be a judicial committee formed and a request for you to meet with them.
They will attempt to "readjust" your thinking and bring you back to "their" form of worship. Their form of worship is "regular" meeting attendance and ministry work. Living a life a JW lives day to day.
If they meet with you and still there is "no change" after their "claim" that they tried to help you, then they may "watch" you for a time. (Surveillance) this goes on all the time. And when they see that you are making yourself a "part of the world" by associating with worldly people on a regular basis, they may go ahead and announce that you are no longer one of Jehovah's Witnesses. (In the old days they called it (Conduct Unbecoming of a Christian....or "Bringing Reproach Upon Jehovah's Name....or "Causing Divisions Within The Congregation".

2019 Shepherd The Flock of God--Chapter 12
For example, if a baptized Christian is dating an ‘unbeliever,’ the
elders should first counsel him and try to help him. (2 Cor. 6:14;
w04 7/1 pp. 30-31) If he persists in disregarding Bible principles
in spite of repeated admonition, the body of elders may decide
that a warning talk should be given to the congregation.If an individual is dating an unbaptized publisher, a warning talk may
not be needed. Much would depend on the circumstances, on the
attitude of the Christian, on the level of disturbance to the congregation,
and other factors. Nonetheless, if he is dating with a view to marrying someone who is unbaptized, he is not obeying the Bible’s counsel at 1 Corinthians 7:39 to marry “only in the Lord,” and loving counsel should be given.
80. If the disorderly one is moved to change, the elders can individually decide to resume personally socializing with him. This will indicate to the congregation that they consider that the individual
is no longer marked.Atlantis! -

We were told that there was a recent local needs part where the 1928 tract (Where Are The Nine?), was used as an example. The Proclaimers Book page 288 shows an example of that tract at the bottom of the page.
We were just asked for the original tract.

compound complex:
Your right, and here is another letter from 1971 which states:
"It may also be necessary to assign certain ministerial servants to help in keeping records that come under the supervision of the elders."Not just "any" ministerial servant, but "certain" ministerial servants to keep records. It could be more than one!1971-12-1--See page 4--Ink quality is a little weak.Atlantis!----------------------------------------------------------------Biahi:Thank you!Atlantis! -

Yes, every BOE we have ever received is sent to Barbara and she sends them all to Zalkin. Zalkin called me one time and I was in the Doctor's office. My Doctor was smacking my knee with a rubber hammer to see if my reflexes were ok.

JW GoneBad:
I agree! The timing of that letter has got to be child abuse case related. The Watchtower is hoping for no "surprize notes" to pop up in court to bite them in the ass.
