There was a kid I met at school that was disfellowshipped for smoking. He had been caught twice and told me that it was his second cigarette he had ever taken. He simply was dumb enough to get caught the only two times he decided to try cigarettes! Worse: When confronted by the elders, he admitted it!
What is the Craziest Thing You Are Aware Of Someone Being Disfellowshipped For?

How about getting a D&C after an ectopic pregnancy (I've posted that story here before) because they believed it was the same as an abortion.
In the neighboring congregation though (same building) the presiding overseer's son had a repeated gay affair with another pioneer 'brother' during/after field circus and only got reproved (also posted here).

Anony Mous, can you give us the link to the ectopic pregnancy story, please? I couldn't find it.
I find these stories really sad and depressing, and for me, my dark, un-Christ-like sense of absurdity offers a bit of relief. To be honest, I'd get a kick from seeing my little scenario performed and presented either as a YouTube video, like "Kissing Hank's Ass" by Nimpsy (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=srVXi0PmkRk)or performed live at the "Still Alive in 2025" apostate convention to be held in August 2025 in Boston, and recorded there
I think it would be funny if one or more of the "Elders" were played by females.

Soon, the two adult "witnesses" have "accidents". One healthy young woman dies of an "asthma attack'...with missing medication. Another "commits suicide"...357 in the face..
Sounds like the witnesses I grew up with. I'll tell some similar stories one day.

Yes, SeaBreeze, please share those "similar stories.
"There is no time like the present" applies here. If you are concerned about being persecuted for telling the truth (and that is understandable), tell your truth in the most generic, anonymized way possible, without real names of people or places and without dates.
Too often things have gone unsaid because "time and circumstance" have made individuals mute. Please don't let that happen to you.
