Yes very good I said all those things. This is just an open forum of ideas and thoughts correct? I'm not lodging a formal complaint against Serena Williams to the society. You said that they Are ignoring what she's saying now even though she's saying she's a jw. That's because everything is good and positive if it becomes not so good yes trust me thats another story.

The 0rg instructs elders to make an investigative shepherding call on anyone claiming to be a JW who is not abiding by current JW standards of doctrine.
If they don't claim to be a JW and have faded for years then the elders are counseled to let the matter be "held in abeyance".

Up until the later half of the 1980's, I believe, a non-baptized member of the congregation could be "disassociated" and shunned if they were found to have been guilty of a ''disfellowhipping'' offense.
Then there came ''new light'', probably because of legal problems, that a non-baptized member of the congregation could only be announced as "no longer a publisher" and didn't get shunned to the N'th degree, no but, just seen as "bad association".
Would all those who'd previously gotten ''disassociated'' and shunned now be un-shunned? No.
Such is the WT's new light. (As in less-filling, must be ;- )
