You can't get DF for associating with another DF person, just any privileges you have are removed.
Don't believe that is true. Didn't Ray Franz get DF for associating with a DA person who also was his employer at the time?
Poopie,
That sounds just like a bs story full of holes. Get your facts straight.

Partly true.
First, like you said, you get privileges removed as a warning... if it keeps happening, then you get private reproof... then public reproof... then you're disfellowshipped.
You were an elder, you should know this.

Agree it is partly true, only because there is elder discretion here.
You could get disfellowshipped for it if the elders pursue the only charge that relates to this which would be "Brazen Conduct" and only if they were either critical of the disfellowshipping or were having spiritual association in the form of worship.
In my experience I counselled many dubs on associating with DF ones, some repeatedly over many years but we never disfellowshipped them for it.
The elders hand book states on page 116 paragraph 6:
If members of the congregation are known to have undue association with disfellowshipped or disassociated relatives who are not in the household elders should counsel and reason with those members of the congregation from the Scriptures.
Review with them information from the "God's Love book, pages 207-208; The Watchtower of April 151 1988, pages 26-30; or the article "Display Christian Loyalty When a Relative Is Disfellowshipped in the August 2002 Our Kingdom Ministry.
If it is clear that a Christian is violating the spirit of the disfellowshipping decree in this regard and does not respond to counsel, it may be that he would not qualify for congregation privileges, which require one to be exemplary.
He would not be dealt with judically unless there is persistent spiritual association or he openly criticizes the disfellowshipping decision.
Amazing. Elders are allowed to speak to DF'd ones.
This goes to (anecdotally), show that it's the biggest bully on the BOE that wins every time.
The biggest bully was probably jealous that the other elder was 'anointed(tm)' and bully wasn't.
A man's organisation to the core. No love. Filled with ego and hatred from the top filtering down.
Amazing. Elders are allowed to speak to DF'd ones.
Yes but only to ask them back to return to meetings so they can prove their repentance and any study must be approved by the body of elders that the elder does this with the DF dub.
This anointed elder I presume did not do that, he was simply studying with him, a form of spiritual association.
But you are right, the bigger bullies always win, I was part of a body with a COBE that was so full of himself it was unbelievable. I challenged him on many an occasion...
notsure - I was part of a body with a COBE that was so full of himself it was unbelievable.
Ditto. On more than one occasion too. The last one was a complete pig. He used to march around with his nose in the air.
