The terse wording, without any praise or thank you for Tony's long and prominent service screams that this wasn't an honorable discharge; the fact that they are letting time pass without any explanation is also very telling: they know how the speculative rumor mill works and they know that Tony's reputation is being trashed by the minute and Tony knows that as well. So this silence without explanation also reeks of punishment. Clearly the GB is invested in destroying Tony's reputation by letting the rank and file JW think that this is "Jehovah cleaning his organization" and that Tony became a rotten apple that needs to go. By calling him "brother Anthony" they are telling him that he can still salvage something, but this is probably act one of a tragic full demise in shame of Tony Morris.

What led to this? Nobody knows - yet - but I suspect we'll find out soon enough as act two unfolds within the next two weeks.

This is the furthest from being christian.
If we claim someone "not redeemable", than we are no better then they are. That being said, it doesn't mean we'd need to become friends with the guy and assume he is magically a good person if he ever chose to leave the JW. All I'm saying is that we'd need to give the guy a chance at redemption.

I didn't mean "not redeemable" in a Christian sense; that sense is lost in me, since I'm not a believer, and who am I to judge life and death, anyway? I meant that I don't think he had a change of heart and attitude of such magnitude that he would become palatable for the exJW crowd, thus "redeemable" in a Hollywood comeback fashion, if you will.

I have a feeling that we're not seeing someone who suddenly comes out as a dissident; rather, we see someone whose personal shortcomings and inner ghosts finally caught up with him, in a position where such shortcomings are prone to be weaponized by zealots and hypocrites. Even his position of power couldn't save him.

All ex JWs would treat TOMO3 like a proper celebrity if he did another Ray Franz I would donate as would many many people and if he wanted to go a speaking circuit perhaps someone like Kim Silvio could organise and I’m sure we could all donate

No, I wouldn't.

I might buy a tell-all book — maybe. I don't like the man, I don't think he's a redeemable person in the eyes of the ex-JW community. He's so full of himself that it hurts the senses. When I think of the shunning policy, it's his face I see.

To me, all information so far pieced together, sounds like he was subjected to a Judicial Committee and reproofed, lost privileges, which included being booted from the GB, but not from Bethel. In the spirit of how the JWs interpret 2 Thessalonians 3:15, this fits.

Now, to subject a senior member of a GB to a JC may be seen as part of a purge, of course. It may well be the case of younger softliners getting rid of the embarrassing hardline oldtimers. Tony Morris' drinking habits may have been the perfect excuse. Who needs another judge Rutherford these days?

A prayer for Tony's family and not for Tony? Doesn't sound good ...

Ray's announcement had him as his nme whilst ATM3 is still called "Brother" and nothing about him not being a bethel family member.

Maybe they've learned SOMETHING from the aftermath of 1980?

Looking for the WT that announced Ray Franz no longer governing body member. I remember reading it, but that was so very long ago. Anyone perhaps have that information?

I think his 1st name was Ewart rather than Edward

Correct, my bad. Ewart C. Chitty is the name.
