doctrines and prophecies, and wellcome all their critically thinking disfellowshipped memebers back in open arms?

Or do organization insist that these members are to remain disfellowshipped unless they repent, serve penace, and again rigidly follow the Watchtower?

Adara: I am talking here about the people who where critical about Watchtowers false prophecy. These disfellowshipped memebers were right at this matter. Did organization apologize them?

When the disfellowshipped clean up what is dirty and the fact that they were not just disfellowshipped with only one warning, but several warnings, but failed to clean up, if they repent and show that they will not bring distain and uncleanliness into the organization through the congregations, they will be reinstated.

I know a guy who was disfellowshipped because he continued to tell very dirty jokes and make women feel uncomfortable. He was warned about this on several occasions, and he even went as far to make jokes about the women in the congregation that had big breasts and "nice bottoms" as he put it. This is not Christian behavior and after several warnings, he was finally disfellowshipped.

It was up to him to stop what he was doing, to realize the error of his ways and then take the steps necessary to become reinstated again. Well, he did just that and he made a public apology to all the women that he had sexually harassed and made dirty jokes to. He loved God and knew he was nothing without God or his heavenly organization, so he "did what was necessary by cleaning his attitude up" and became reinstated.

I know of another man whose wife had a double mastectomy. During this time and before she was diagnosed with cancer, this man began carrying on an affair with a 27-year old younger woman. He too was warned several times but never heeded the warnings. Now he is disfellowshipped and has even become an apostate slandering God and his organization. He has never cleaned up his act and even after the younger woman left him, he still refuses to repent against his filthy behavior unclean to the congregations and organization. He remains disfellowshipped.

Here is the plight of an ex-witness who was disfellowshipped for lewd and abusive conduct. He never got it together and repented, so he remained disfellowshipped and for just cause. Here is how he ended up:

Christian Michael Longo was a witness in good standing until he began to associate with what was unclean and blasphemous. Now see what his fate was because he would not turn back from his evil, most heinous ways. It's all about free will and choices:

He failed to listen. Just think of what his life would have been like if he repented and turned it around, but no. He chose to continue his path of destruction. He even buried his kids in different places along the Oregon Coast. Now his fate is death.

To answer your question, it's all about CHOICES. Use your brain wisely right?

EDIT: Please open your eyes. After the mistaken prediction of the end of this system of things in 1975, many left the organization and then there were some who "wouldn't let it go even after they were cautioned to do so. A mistake had been made, so why keep harping on it when re-adjustment was much the focus and to "get back on track". I doubt that more were disfellowshipped than were those who simply walked away because of the mistake. Why don't YOU pray about this and ask God to please send a knowledgeable witness to you about this particular matter instead of continuously posting blasphemy to an open forum to "heat up" the masses. Thank you.

I don´t know why people talk about 1975, NEVER in any literature someone said that the end will come that Year, that year was the 6000 years of the creation of Adam, and in a bible study was told that if Adam would it be the last creation of God then what appropiate would it be that the rest period of God finished it, but also said that ADAM wasn´t the last creation but Eve and nobody know the time between Adam and Eve creation.

NiNa why don ´t you look for the place that says that in 1975 the end will come? look for the publication and if you don´t find it out then I will show you that bible study, and you will realize how easy is to twist an information.

for example of twisting a comment homosexuals use the story of David and Natan suggesting that they were partners cause David told once "your love is better than the love of a woman"
so according to some people David was homosexual.

I have no idea and it would be very interesting what excuses they will come up with. JW's are been taught every week how to ask questions and how to answer them. They also know if you know too much they will try to leave so best is to only say a little and not let them feel defeated otherwise they will never return. I have a work friend who is one and he is so happy to share with me as long as I do not prove him wrong too much and hopefully in due time he will see the truth

No, the various entities with names like "Watchtower Society" are corporate entities.

Jehovah's Witnesses do apologize for their errors, and do welcome back those who seek to humbly rejoin true worship.
