If a public announcement that a JW has formally disassociated themselves it was to be considered the same as df'ing - total shunning- no having a "spiritual good time" etc.
Sorry, I don't have a quote but it was common knowledge even 30 years ago.

David Splane Destroys the Very Foundation of 1914- Corp. Meeting New Light
by scotoma inat the corporate meeting david splane discusses the use and misuse of types/antitypes.. the main qualifier of a type is that an account must be represented in the scriptures as a. type of some future event.. he quoted schroeder who said if an account isnt explained in the scriptures as a type than you.
shouldnt use the event as a type.. splane summed up his talk by saying if the bible is silent - we must be silent.. but they go right on celebrating the 100 years from 1914 which was determined by improperly.
going beyond anything written in the bible about nebuchadnezzars tree dream.. the bible specifically refers to the immense tree as representing nebuchadnezzar.. daniel explained it and that should be the end of the matter.. .

gee, is that your best retort?
fts - Your topic and content is pure, irrelevant drivel.
I was spanked for relevant observations of our current Pres. by our beloved, labor party, leader, Simon.

Honesty - It depends on how much of a threat to the congregation you are perceived to be.
Nope. We were going after people who were minding their own business, per instructions from the mother ship. See my post above.

Ho Hum. I don't have the energy to show the Pres Obola pics. embarassing the entire country with his ignorance or arrogance..
Offering a toast to the Queen - incorrectly. cringe worthy
Kneeling to the King of Saudi Arabia,
refusing to observe protocol when the anthem is played etc.
playing golf minutes after observing the beheading death of Americans by Islamic terrorists.
it goes on....

Singapore: The Religious consequences of Tim Cook coming out as gay
by fulltimestudent inas if we needed any further evidence that the minds of christians are not all that they should be, the shenagins in the christian segment of the christian segment of the singapore population once again demonstrated that each time they fart, they blow some of their brains away, and sadly they fart so much that there's not much brain left.. i guess most people have heard that time cook (boss of apple) publically stated this week that he was gay and proud of it.
in most of the western world, it barely caused a ripple, but not so in singapore where christians are always lobbying the government against sin.. but, tim cook as a gay man provoked the ire of the singaporean church leadership.. i have not heard that anyone claimed that using an apple iphone would make you gay, but prominent church leader lawrence khong, was commissioned as an apostle by dr. peter wagner, of the international coalition of apostles, in 2000. .
on hearing the news about tim cook, lawrence khong stop using iphone and even denounced technology altogether.

absolutely. Being "caught" celebrating any holiday would get you called on by an elder and possibly lead to a JC and possible DF'ing.

In the late '70's we had 'elders school'. Sam Friend conducted the 5 days of classes. One discussion was concerning those JW's who had faded but were still in the territory. Some in our congs. had quit JW's over 20 years previously. Friends message was "officially in or officially out". We were to hunt down these people and interogate them about their beliefs and invite them back. If they were not interested then we were to begin the DF'ing process of notification and eventual public meeting announcement that brother or sister so and so were being DF'd. Most of the people in the cong. didn't even know who these people were. The old timers were somewhat surprised that 'John Jones' was even still alive, let alone being hunted down and DF'd.
