Can you be DF'd for apostasy without promoting apostate views? (page 2)

Thanks for the comments so far everyone, but i'm looking for a specific article from the bOrg for back-up.

Here's the deal....My (dub) ex-wife is telling people i'm dangerous to be around, spreading lies about the witnesses, etc., you know, the evil apostate stuff, (TRUTH!) I wasn't, I just wanted to fade, but she's saying THAT'S why the elders came after me. She doesn't think you can be DF'd for just leaving.

I know how it really works in the congregations, but does anyone know of anything IN PRINT I can show her? Thanks, GYMBB

Here are the first two pages of the September 1, 1980 letter to circuit overseers concerning the subject of apostasy. Notice that merely "believing" something apostate opens the way to disfellowshipping. --VM44

If you are seen as a threat or not a yes man , they can find a way to disfellowship anybody for anything. Note how the rules have tightened and you can now be disfelleowshipped for viewing pornography. Soyes you can be disfellowshipped for anything even though you are not "guilty" of anything

Yep, and if stilla isn't careful,, he'll be df'd for that awesome profile pic that he has.

A friend of mine was acting strange (he ended up having a nervous break down). Of course the elders thought that maybe he was posed by the demons and started asking him all kinds of questions ... he has just stepped down as a MS, stopped pioneering and missed a lot of meetings .... they just kept pressuring him and in the end all he said was he "was not sure that it was the truth". They held a JC and advised him that essentially what he said meant he no longer wanted to be a JW, so he was DA'd, not DF'd.

If you ex is on a witch hunt, good luck because I am sure everything you have ever done or said will not be examined in full. And you know how JWs love the whole conspiracy theory, so they can have a field day w/ this stuff.

Hmmmmmmmmm...well I wrote a really anti-JW "letter to the Editor" that got printed in our local newspaper and I'm still waiting for the axe to fall on me. If that ain't "apostate"...I don't know what is. So maybe you don't have to be DF'd for promoting "apostate" views in some areas.

Every congregation has it's own rules and regulations and judicial machine, no matter what anyone says. Perhaps in my case the wheels turn ever so slowly.

In my experience I've seen that in any congregation at any given time, the elder's can DF someone for WHATEVER they want to! New York be danged!

You may wait a long time for the axe to fall. Most JWs I knew didn't read newspapers - they were too busy trying to keep up to date with the society's literature. Once I even got counselled for "letting" my ex read a weekly news magazine.

Could you post your letter here? I, along with others here, would be interested in what you wrote.
