Jehovah acted TOO STRONGLY against organization when it disfellowshiped an innocent person on fabricated charges
This is about my childhood friend, classmate, Joseph, who later joined India Bethel as a translator who was later promoted to Service Department. In the process he was also made in charge of making and keeping what they call “Sensitive File” which is intended to protect the seniors or Victimizers against child-abuse victims. This was the first sign for him to realize that something is wrong with this organization.
He started his own research and found out certain vital teachings are not true. He gave a letter to the Branch Committee in 2005 stating he wants a personal hearing with one of the GB members as he wants to alert them against such wrong path they are unwittingly treading, and he also gave a sample teaching in that letter promising remaining things will be discussed only with GB.
BC invited him into their meeting and asked him to confirm his intention in front of all 6 BC members and they were so excited that this man will be a gift from Jehovah to GB and they sent the report to GB. GB sent their fellow GB member Br. Anthony Morris to India Branch with clear instruction to devise a plan to disfellowship Mr. Joseph through protracted steps creating the impression that it was a natural thing to happen. He had lengthy meeting with Joseph and advised the BC to fabricate charges against him using false witnesses, and later he was disfellowshiped from Bethel.
They never knew this was too much for Jehovah who simply maneuvered things in such a way that India Branch itself had to be sold and to move into a too tiny apartment with too limited volunteers. In the dedication speech on this newly constructed huge complex a few years earlier GB member Stephen Lett had said this newly constructed huge Branch will grow to such an extent in the future that it will have increased work as places like China are yet to open up for preaching.
I told Mr. Joseph you must write this in any of exJW forums but he kept on shying away because of his humility. Finally, I told him “I will do it if you don’t do it.” So this write up. Anyone can check this with JWs in India and get more details.
