AH, that's similar old pivot point of my last JC.
You see, because I have family in the Borg, I decided not to DA myself and to try and avoid Dfing, as it would have left the situation more open to cultish programmed behaviour on part of my family.
I admitted (after about eight months of not going to meetings) to adultery. Queue the JC. I said I regretted it. They said come back to the meetings. I said I didn't feel ready for that at that point. They said that unless I showed repentence they'd DF me. I pointed out the WT article where it more-or-less states that if you're inactive for over six months you can't really call yourself a JW anymore (as you're not Witnessesing), and that if I wasn't a JW they couldn't really DF me.
I think if the combined IQ of the three men had been over 200 I'd have ended up DF'd anyway. But it wasn't.
