"Disfellowshiping—How to View It", The Watchtower, September 15, 1981, page 23. Jehovah’s Witnesses claim the purpose of denying fellowship to a wrongdoer safeguards the congregation’s moral and spiritual cleanliness and protects its name. They believe the congregation must “maintain God’s favor in order to be used by him and to represent him” or else the whole congregation would lose God’s approval. Sociologist Andrew Holden claims his research indicated many Witnesses who would otherwise defect because of disillusionment with the organization and its teachings remain affiliated out of fear of being shunned and losing contact with friends and family members.
