This is his decision before Jehovah. Appointed elders and others should fully respect the conscience of the brother and continue to regard him as a Christian in good standing.
I believe I can fix what they said to more accurately reflect the reality.
This is claimed to be his decision before Jehovah when is really the elders who will make the final judgement against him. Appointed elders and others while claiming to fully respect the conscience of the brother and that they continue to regard him as a Christian in good standing will in reality judge him as bad association, engage in malicious gossip about him and soft shun him and his family leading the rest of the sheeple congregation to do the same. The elders will judge him as unworthy of ever getting any so-called privileges other than toilet bowl duty. And he will forever after be a pariah in the congregation. So sayeth the governing body (secretly of course).
