I read this post, i voted and the ones saying it is a loving arrangement is over 68%, I am mind blown - What fool can think it is a loving arrangement.
Lets teach them that is it not thought of as loving...Your chance to let these people know if dis-fellowshipping is a loving arrangement!.

Voted no.
The reasons for disfellowshipping are what should be seriously questioned, not the process itself. Every business/organization/private clubs have rules and standards which all members are expected to agree with and uphold.
The WTBTS however has perverted the scriptural reasoning for disfellowshipping, by concocting other reasons in order to deal with "independent thinkers" within the congregations.
Yes Tim310rd! I agree with disfellowshipping, not with the shunning! You have to admit that it is logical that you cannot be part of a group if you don't follow its rule. And like in most groups, you will not keep contact with most of these members. The problem is that the WT takes this further and tells everyone, including your family, to shun you. Senseless!
From the human rights standpoint,
70 % believe in the loving arrangement, its their freedom of thought to believe that such a doctrine is okay for them and christian , we will not condemn them,
30 % dont believe they are weak, they disagree with the slave anonymously. They have the freedom to speak with the elders, to be silent and not mention their doubts publicly cause avoiding turmoil is most important, they are marked as problematic doubters. No freedom of speech and suppressed thoughts.

Freedom to choose a religion. If they the 30% should decide to leave the jw religion, we dont hold them back, they can believe what they want, but can write in forums, they have all freedom, we are tolerant, we dont hold them back, if they stay they shall accept the loving arrangement, which are: In case they speak load and protest within the congregation and mislead others, we would excommunicate them . But If they keep silent about their doubts we will allow them to silently dissassote themselves.
We dont shun the 30 % if they would leave us at all,
And we dont judge their decision.
The 30 % do what they want, they must not believe in the loving arrangement doctrine, we are tolerant.
Internal reaction and consequence of excommunication
We wont greet them, we label em evil, we call em spiritual diseased, dont invite them, we dont call them only to get them back under our regime, we break up a friendship. We dont spoil our time with apostates who are awaiting the worst judgement and mislead us or steal our time.
