It would be like if you phoned, emailed, and wrote multiple letters to the gas company asking them to turn off your service and they kept on billing you.

Good analogy. And applicable to the member "in good standing" (i.e. paid up). And apologies for not being clear. I too feel that the member should not be billed for dues moving forward. And frankly, I have never heard of that happening.
However, just like the gas company has every right to go after the dead beat for past due amounts, so does the GLO have the right to collect dues owed them. Most often, the issue has to do with the chapters being screwed and not IHQ. As such, until all financial obligations are settled with both the chapter and IHQ, the IHQ may wait to legally terminate membership if it is in their (or the chapter's) best interest to do so.
ETA: Zillini, I think we are in general agreement. Continued billing is bad. Collection of what is owed, "good".
