i was envolved about 16 years ago in a committee that sole purpose was to disfellowship a respected member of the congregation for being an apostate.
we recieved information from the wt legal department and co and do on how to proceed.
often the co and do would meet with us individually to sort of direct the process.
I recall similar type questions that some elders asked me. Are those question similar to the ones that a person answers at their baptismal talk? I would think it is like they are reconfirming your dedication or contractual vows you originally take and if not they would have legal grounds to DF.

here in quebec, walmart decided to close a walmart store because the 190 employees wanted to become unionized.
walmart said that they weren't making money at that store, and that's why they are closing.
we all know that the real reason why walmart wants to close is because the employees want to be unionized.. in this day and age, do you think that walmart is right, or the employees?.
I wonder if Sam Walton were still alive these things would be happening.
I don't know about that. I recall seeing a Biography on him and he was a real ruthless guy.

...or not so new-----i'm seeing that they are getting rid of people on false charges.
to the person, they are going after them and confronting them on whatever it may be but when it comes to official reasons for deletion, they are giving false information.
this morning, i heard that another elder got deleted for going to a believer/unbeliever's wedding.it was also reported that he was caught "talking to a disfellowshipped person".

The story I heard was that this elder knew ahead of time that someone was going to sing a "pagan" hymn. I think they were trying to find a reason to delete this elder and this was a good reason. Maybe another elder would have only got private reproof but its always who you know that counts.

I knew of an elder that was asked to step down because he gave a talk at a funeral that they sang a "worldly" hymn. The elder said it was his decision but I think he got pressure from the other elders because he didn't always see eye to eye with the rest of the elder's in that congregation. So I think that the hard line elders will weed out those ones that that may not go along with everything the other elders say.

Its all to do with Union busting. They are setting an example out of that one store that if you try and unionize,
this is what you will get. I hate Walmart and all it stands for. Its nothing to do with losing profits as I was
looking at the top ten riches people in the world and 4 or 5 were Walmart family members. Its all to do with greed.

the society's new book 'organized to do jehovah's will', to be released in the congregations .
on the 20th of march, introduces a change in the df and da announcements.
announcements will read the same: "[name of person] is no longer one of jehovah's .
I can see the elders making more "sheparding" calls just to get enough info on a person and then have them DA. All they would have to see is a old discarded xmas tree or talk to a strange person of the opposite sex and then they would have enough grounds to DA a person.

he said he wanted to get back together this very afternoon.
he didn't even want to wait till tonight.
he'd called me after seeing an ad i'd placed online and in a local magazine.
We are talking about trucks here. For a second I thought you were talking about yourself.

yes, in 1988, jws were so happy to learn that carbon dating proved the shroud of turin was a fake from the middle ages ... yes, once again, jehovah's alleged organization was forward moving in its truth ... ahhhh ... but wait!
it turns out, that while the carbon dating was accurate, it was not understood that the 1988 test inadvertantly used a repair patch from the 1300's.
so, yes, the carbon dating would show this date.
Still a bunch of BS, that only and unintelligent person would believe.

a prominent elder in a local congregation came home to his wife and told her "i love you, but i'm not in love with you".
then wrote a letter to the congregation elders asking to be disfellowshipped.
it is t. b#ffa.
This game hjas being played as longs as I can recall. I knew one good Jdub that did a few times and everytime, after being DF'd for a year was welcomed back with open arms.
