I did not fade because of anything someone said during a JC, but some things became evident to me because of holding JCs. The biggy, I realized that I had no Scriptural authority to require someone to meet behind closed doors with two other elders. If a publisher said "Thank you for your concern Brother Elder, but I do not wish to participate in a judicial meeting." What basis did I have to require it? None.

Another one that I find comical now. We had a somewhat borderline MServant begin to partake at the Memorial. The first time he partook, he drank the whole glass! The server had to come back to the platform to get more wine. HAHAHAHAHA!!! I poured another glass, all the while wondering who drank the whole thing. That brother was eventually DFd for another matter. After I left the Org, I called him up one day. He thought it was trap. But I assured him that I was no longer an elder and not attending the meetings. I told him that I just had to know why he drank the whole cup. Among other reasons, he said he did it to make a point, that he knew what the Bible said about partaking and he was not going to hold back any more. It's still funny.
