if i wanted to dissociate what would be the procedure and is there any gain in doing it so long after i left?.

To loyalists in leadership positions, inactives are a potential threat.
They need to suss out potential “apostates” and DF them, so that the rest of the rank-and-file don’t talk to them and find out why they’re inactive.
Procrastinate? 😁
so, i saw dune (1984) yesterday.
i knew it wasn't gonna be great, but deary me.
i'm not gonna lie - this film is not good, in fact it's laughably bad in places.. first, i'd like to know the thought process that went behind choosing david lynch to write/direct.
Re. Dune ‘84…
…personally I think Lynch was given an impossible task.
if i was a jw, and covid put and end to the door to door work for two years, and kingdom halls closed, it would get me to re-visit and think about the stupidity of the overlapping generation, and how they extended the deadline for armageddon to 2072.
(1992 franz death +80 more years).
if i was 20 years of age, plus another 80 = 100 years of age for the system to end.
I still think discontinuing the door-to-door work and switching over to online fellowship were always on the to-do list, and that Covid simply gave them a convenient pretext.

If you have to cheat to defend your beliefs, your beliefs don’t deserve to be defended.
doesn`t the god of the bible condemn him/her self ,incriminate him/her self by the writings as god`s word?.
any human charged with what god has done in the bible would be labelled a monster and either executed or spent a lifetime in prison..

we just had our co visit a few weeks ago.
apparently, he was encouraging all who could to regular pioneer, to at least try it out for a year.
because of this, we had a few people in our hall become one.. so this weekend we were on zoom service, and the sister that was just appointed was talking about it.
"Proof" for the draft board, huh?
I never heard of that; must have been more of an American thing.
Makes sense, though.
Although I'd've thought the Org leadership would prefer young guys to be imprisoned rather than given a pass...
...they sure liked setting up the rank-and-file for "persecution" back in the day, after all.
do jehovah's witnesses interpret the bible properly?.
jehovah's witnesses see the bible as an organizational book which only the faithful and discreet slave (currently 8 men headquartered in warwick new york) can interpret properly.
the faithful slave was first appointed in brooklyn in 1919 and given the exclusive right and ability to understand and teach the bible properly.
Personally, I don't think there is a "correct" way to interpret the Bible...
...but there are endless agenda-driven ways to do it.
i just heard this story from one of my relatives.
i'm leaving a lot of things out.. a jw couple had three kids and raised them in the religion.
the oldest one got disfellowshipped at 18 years of age because he committed fornication with a jw girl.
