That WT reference is over 20 years old. What's the latest "new light" on the matter? Does it make any difference between disfellowshipping vs. disassociating? I should have said disassociating. I disassociated myself to get to stop trying to get me back to meetings. I'm not ready to go back. I didn't do anything wrong, and I still believe EVERYTHING the Society teaches. :) What will happen to my JW relatives if they associate with me?

So what will happen to a Witness if he doesn't shun a disfellowshipped person? Can he be disfellowshipped himself? Reproved? I am looking for an answer based on official Society doctrine and procedures, and not personal experiences. Thanks.

144,000
by davidsf ini'm sure this has been discussed before but the search feature isn't working so i'm going to ask anyway.... is it true jws are taught that once the 144,000 are sealed armageddon will come?
how many have partaken of the wine and bread during the memorial over the years, i.e.

She's thinking which is good, but as long as she's still attending meetings and reading their literature she's still under their "mind control." I speak from personal experience. I was "inactive" for a year, not attending meetings or reading any of their books and magazines, before I felt the fog start to lift from my mind and I could truly think.

OK, what about this scenario. Suppose another relative invites me (a DA'ed JW) and my JW family. Can they attend?

I browsed that book, thanks for the link, but I couldn't find any info on how JWs are to treat disassociated family members. Can you refer me to a page#?
