Can you be DF'd for obesity?

    If JW's can be(or should I say are) df'd for smoking, why aren't people df'd for obesity.

    It seems they say that you are violating your body and hurting it from smoking but I've never seen a person live over the age of 80 that was obese. Just seems like being obese is worse than smoking.

    Praise Cosmo, I think the light is getting brighter and brighter!

    Yes, clearly people SHOULD be disfellowshipped for obesity.

    ...oops! There goes half of the American and European congregations (and their financial contributions)!

    Time for "flickering light" on this subject, I'm afraid.

    So when and why did the banning of smoking come into play?

    I'don't have any hard facts I can't even vouch validity but I was told by othe Bethelites this:

    There was a Bethelite backint the 60s or 70s that was a glutton and they used entrapment to DF him.

    What they did is just keep brining more and more food to his table until they could clearly bring the charge of gluttony against him and DF him.

    Only hear say of coarse.
