: When AF was still associated with JWs he very aggressively expressed his divergent views yet he was not disfellowshipped.
That's not telling the full story. I aggressively expressed my views on Usenet. No local JW had any idea what I was doing. I also expressed certain views to several elders and to the Society within their system, and I was careful not to set off the usual alarms. There is no doubt that had I expressed my views to local JWs I would have been DF'd.
