Yeah, and probably had a unique experince for it! The result was reversed!!! I was a real goody-two-shoes and had a guilty conscience about somthing I though was fairly minor about five years earlier. There was a local needs talk that kicked me in the guts and I confessed expecting a bit of council and nothing much more.
BANG!!! 'There will be a Juficial Committee and you may be Disfellowshipped.' was the flat reply - I was absolutly shocked and was physically ill. Anyway, it played out and I got a public reproof and removed as an MS. I was horrified coz 1. I believed it was unjust and unchristian, and 2. I was a self-righteous prick and didn't cope too well with being brought down 25 pegs!!!
But I was also tight with the CO. He had a look at it, told me I was a bad boy, looked up the article in the '75 KM that says if you did somthing 'bad' more than 3 years ago and it wasn't in the WT at the time that it was a DF offence and have been appointed by holy sprit to a position in the meantime, then you can't be put in front of a Judicial Committee for it. He put that to the Committee who reversed their decison and the paperwork was torn up (apparently). (I understand this was written so as to avoid mass DFings of E/MS when the smoking rules came in).
So, I was a reproved & removed, then the first thing I did after that was respond to the CO's call from the platform for me to close his Sunday meeting in prayer!!! That fucked them up! So I got to be even more self-righteous for a few years before eventually walking away from it on my own terms.
It was a life changing experience.
