Then, a sudden shift from the Society was given. If you weren't 100% sure that the person was truly sorry, and if you had some reservations, just disfellowship the person! And the reasoning was that even if the elders were wrong, it would show whether the wrongdoer was truly repentant or not. I wonder how many people got disfellowshipped because the faithful slave got a new whim - Min, may I ask where this is printed? Though I don't doubt it, when I was an elder I saw no shift in emphasis toward dfing. That was a couple years back, so I may not be up on the latest. But perhaps you can show why you say the above. Perhaps it's unwritten, and it is something that is being said at meetings with the CO or something. Whatever the case, elaboration would be appreciated. Thanks.
