So, if Lying or being deliberately misleading is a "disfellowshipping" offence, why haven't the brothers who lied to the Australian Royal Commission been brought before a judicial committee??

They are THE UNTOUCHABLES ! They didn't lie. You were told lies about their lies ! You are lacking faith ! You lack a waiting attitude ! Were there 2 witnesses to the lies ? Why are you questioning Gods Designated Channel? Please attend a meeting on Monday night to discuss a matter of a Judicial nature ! -

No, definite no!
I heard about a DFing that was overturned on appeal due to lying not a DFing offense, so no.
BUT we all know how WT works, if we want you out, we will find a way dammt!

"Deliberate, malicious lying, bearing false witness."
This is a df offense, according to the elders book page 67.

If the elders want to DF you, they will find a reason. It's being unrepentant that causes the Dfing. But if the elders don't want to DF you they will find you repentant of whatever you have done.
It's all a sham and dependent on your status with the elders

If I remember correctly, when they lie to cover their ass they call it "Theocratic Strategy" and then it's okay. -

Yes FreeAtLast1914, but they even lied about not knowing what "theocratic warfare" was while under oath!

Katewild. Perfect statement to describe a JC. It is who you know, your status and which family you belong to.
