Best Answer

When someone is disfellowshipped, they are being expelled from the congregation. They are no longer considered as one of Jehovah's Witnesses.

Unless they are a family member, Jehovah's Witnesses will no longer associate or speak with the disfellowshipped person. Some call this shunning.

In addition, the disfellowshipped person can apply to be re-instated. This is a process where they would demonstrate sincere repentance for their past transgressions. After their re-instatement, they are welcomed back into the congregation.

It is important to note that disfellowshipping is taken very seriously by Jehovah's Witnesses as the elders do not wish this for any member. Steps are taken to help an individual who had sinned to be spiritually strengthened and take the necessary actions to adjust their attitude. It is generally understood that the majority of people who are disfellowshipped are ones who want out of the congregation.
