I’m sorry that you had to go through that. But I’m afraid you aren’t alone- by far. Many have been cruelly traumatized and spiritually abused by this same “judicial” procedure. And no wonder so many XJWs lose their way, namely those who are physically out, mentally in (POMI).
The Shepherd the Flock book says that if an elder committs a df’ing offense and he doesn’t rat himself out or otherwise doesn’t get ratted out, he’s in the clear if nobody finds out for THREE YEARS. - meaning he can consider himself in the clear after three years. Why three years? it makes no sense. All elders obviously know this- so my point in bringing this up is that we can only imagine the enormous baggage that elders bring to the table when judging others like you and me (yes i had to face a judicial committee myself). It’s the lowly publishers that have to carry those enormous burdens.
There is not a single family untocuhed by WT’s incredibly cruel, harsh disfellowshipping policy which IMO is used for two reasons- 1) to quash communication and 2) punishment. There is no way it’s a “loving provision”.
I’m glad you’re here getting support you deserve.
Now I AM screaming into a pillow.
