Friday makes the statement
it seems most people here don't have a really good understanding of the issue and policy of the WTS.
When i read this i wanted to laugh at his silly A$$, he of all folks don't know a cotton-picking thing about Organizational Procedures-. but let me help my man out-
The Answer to his question is Yes- you can be DFed for thinking differently
What persons like Friday don't understand or comprend is how the wt machinery actually works, there are many rules that elders follow that are "NOT IN PRINT" no letter in the file no flockbook NOTHING , in fact THESE instructions only can be obtain when one speaks to a guy on one of the Service Desk, NOW THE COOL thing about talking to someone on the service desk is this
THEY WILL as you FOR YOUR NAME, POSITION AND CONGO AND CONGO NUMBER EVEN MANY TIMES
BUT they will NOT tell you who you are talking to, now think about that implication, as an elder you call bethel ask to be transferred to the service dept you get some guy - perhaps even my silly old roommate- smile and he will ask you all these question and you ask for his name and he will not tell you- then he gives you instructions on an issue - you ask for the reference to show the other elders and he tells you these are instructions we only give out when this type of issue arises
you hang up and follow the instructions and the Sh!T goes wrong - you call back to bethel and do you know the question that they will ask you WHO DID YOU SPEAK WITH THAT TOLD YOU THAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! In many cases esp apostasy cases many elders esp if they are Society Men/ Organization men, they fully understand that the apostate could pose some legal issues- esp if the person is hostile, will at least consult with the CO who may recommend touching base himself or the elders with bethel. The determing factor if you can be Dfed will depend entirely on the 3 Cheese Cracker Men If they FEEL that you pose a threat to the rest with your PRIVATE VIEWS even though you say NOTHING to anyone about them----------they can still Df you and your appeal will fail-And the reason is simple- Lets say you are sister old and you dont think turning in time is needed, well being that she is all old and all they could just assume well since she cant get much time in is why she feels this way, she says nothing to anyone- she could be just fine- You have an elder let's sday-- Friday--- who says he believes the FDS is wrong on major dogma, then the elders CAN DF him, they would reason that he would try to slyly slip stuff into his talks, cousel to others, bookstudy and private conversations to others even though HE HAS NOT- BOTTOM LINE IS THE ELDERS CAN MAKE THE CALL REGARDLESS of what Friday wants to believe he could be Dfed for reading this post, for example he would be Dfed for his flagrant disregard to THEOCRATIC ORDER AND ARRANGEMENT I WILL illustrate how I could Dfed Friday and his appeal would fall thru I find out he surfs this site, I approach him and ask how he feels about assocationing with apostates, at that point he has 2 choices:- lie I dont go to those sites
- tell the truth, I dont feel you bro or the society has the right to tell me I cant go on JW.com, but I WOULD NEVER TELL ANY OF THE OTHER BROS TO GO THERE EITHER and these are my "Private views"
