Most of us JW's came out of this wicked world into a spiritual paradise leaving behind bad habits, old ideals, twisted reasonings, traditions of men,philosophies and empty teachings or reasonings....etc... Leaving behind a former course of life and putting on a new christian  personality. We are the same person the only change being we now have a personal relationship with God Jehovah with a new insight into truth and now knowing what the love of God means and wanting to please him.

Famous individuals are the same. the only difference being they are under a microscope and reminded daily in a public display how they once were. An individual knows in themselves they are now fellow workers with Gods purposes and not against it and purpose to uphold Jehovah's will. 

Imagine if you would if you personally did many pieces of work that everybody loved because it was dramatic it was beautiful; you receive awards for it so others have an exhibit to display  your many other works. You love your work as do many others. You later learn that a few pieces were untrue or faulty in some way, defective. You rectify your standard to make it more to your satisfaction and true. Many will judge their opinion of you based  on  your  passed  work, but those who know you will know you no longer use the old standard and  will know your improved works and commend your faithfulness.  God commends such faithfulness. others can not see it perhaps; but it is not theirs to see it is the individuals.

Insight  on the  resurrection visit www.jw.org and search resurrection. Recall that Jesus died for all mankind, and the resurrection is not something any human  can  judge  as to  an individuals status of deserving or not deserving of a resurrection . "..... Judge not that you may  be judged....."   If you  want to see who's resurrected, make it your determination to be there. There are no lists.....only faith and hope. I  sympathize with family and friends of a "Friend of God" and fellow worker. condolences to those who knew and loved him.

It is of importance to  note that no one knows anothers heart, thoughts and personal relationship with God. Now that being said it is of equal importance not to embolden oneself to claim they do.

So generally speaking, to offer insight and answer the  general inquisitive mind on a few topics brought to this  discussion.

Dis-fellowshipping takes place for an attitude and or an unwillingness  of an individual to repent from or  to turn away from a bad course.  So yes you  can be  dis-fellowshipped for something, one can  also be Reinstated after rectifying or  abandoning a course of  bad conduct. Dis-fellowshipping  is a protection to individuals that  are  dis-fellowshipped; as  well as those  who are  close to  that person. From  the  scope of the  big  picture it  keeps  God's name clean.

It is the thought an individual alone is  responsible for their calling  as an anointed. it is between God and that individual. To question it is not to ones advantage,, nor the concern of others.
