Teddy may not have directly difellowshipped him, but he made sure it happened.
And no matter what congregation he has gone to, the local brothers have always been
"consulted" by Brooklyn, which has led to his reinstatement request being denied.
Interestingly, one body saw no reason why he couldn't be reinstated, until they were
contacted by Brooklyn.

It was the Jersey City, NJ assembly Hall. The brother was an elder in my congregation.
I knew him and his wife. He had been a bethlelite and pioneer before becoming
the AH caretaker. His name is Ernest Ricketts.

Since that day Teddy J had it out for him and eventually had him thrown out of the assembly hall and
disfellowshipped. This happened nearly 5 years ago and although he has attended every meeting since
and submitted numerous reinstatement letters, his request have been denied without explanation.

I have found certain questions very effective in helping open my moms eyes.
She saw me go from infancy to elder over a period of 40 years.
When I stopped attending meetings, she couldn't understand it.
I now understanding how being a JW causes REAL thinking ability to malfunction or
cease operating all together. The effort to revive her thinking ability has worked to a degree.
She now acknowledges that all is not right in the org and admits that I make good points
and ask good questions.
I asked her to read Genesis 18:22 - 33. I asked
if Jehovah didn't condemn Abraham for questioning whether He was going
to do what was right (pointing out the exclaimation point in verse 25),
why is questioning imperfect men at the head of the JW organization not tolerated?
Whereas Abraham suffered no retribution from God for his questions, why are many JW's
disfellowshipped for doing the exact same thing?
I asked her to read to Acts 17:10,11. I asked, if the Boreans were
considered noble-minded for checking to make sure the things they were
being taught were really so, why are JW's discouraged from following the same course
when it comes to what the organization teaches (Sept. KM)?
I asked her to read 1 Thessalonians 5:21 and 1 John 4:1. How can this admonition be followed
you are not allowed to ask indepth questions? Why is a JW discouraged from putting what the org says to the test?
Tactics that have been helpful are, sticking to one subject per sitting, letting her read the particular quote
from the WT publication or bible and then posing the question and moving on to the next point without pressuring
her to provide an answer.
What has helped me is keeping in mind the goal, not to prove her wrong or me right, but
to revive her true thinking ability, so that she will see things for what they really are.

This article is a self indictment. But the drones sitting in the KH,
have been mind-tapped to never view the injustices they experience in the congregation/organizational
as just that...injustice. Never having a light bulb moment and saying...hey wait
a minute, this is what I'm experiencing right here.
So they accept doormat status under the feet of incompetent dictators,
deceiving themselves into thinking this is a test of their righteousness.

Obviously, this zealous JW, like most of them, doesn't know his religions real history.
Poor thing.
