Concerning those who renounced their Christian faith in his day, the apostle John wrote: “They went out from among us, they were not of our sort; for if they had been of our sort, they would have remained with us.” (1 John 2:19) Also, a person might renounce his place in the Christian congregation by his actions, such as by becoming part of a secular organization the objective of which is contrary to the Bible and, hence, is under judgment by Jehovah God. (Compare Re. 19:17-21; Is. 2:4) So if a person who is a Christian chooses to join those who are disapproved by God, it would be fitting for the congregation to acknowledge by a brief announcement that he has disassociated himself and is no longer one of Jehovah’s Witnesses. Such a person would be viewed in the same way as a disfellowshipped person.
So it is with regret I ask the following announcement be read to all congregations of Jehovah’s Witnesses around the world:
“The Governing Body by their course of action in 1991 of forming a secret partnership with the “Wild Beast” (United Nations) has disassociated themselves as Jehovah’s Witnesses.”
Of course we must bear in mind according to the instruction given at the last Elder School, the repentance must be commensurate with the sin. As the sin was continued over a course of ten years it would appear the Governing body must remain in their disassociated state for at least ten years.
