First, 1, I do not feel that answering your question is "fellowshipping" with you, unless you want to put a very narrow interpretation on that term.
Second, although it is a convenient ploy in an argument or debate, not all questions have a simple "yes" or "no" answer.
Third, I cannot answer for other people or what other people do, only for myself.
I think that as always, the Society gave us the best information it had and which it itself believed to be true.
If "keeping in expectation" of Jehovah's day is a fault, it has been a fault of loyal servants of God for quite a long time. Nevertheless, the Bible encourages us to "keep on the watch" and to "keep in expectation."
And finally, I have never abrogated my common sense nor my personal responsibility.
Get yourself reinstated, man. I would love to have a real conversation with you!
