Did you really do anything wrong?
Or were you relying upon their judgement to tell you if you did or not?
of course I relied on their judgment. I was still under their brainwash control.
not to mention I allowed them to use it to humiliate me and take away my commenting priviidges so everyone in the cong would know I did something wrong.
KK you are absolutely great I am chuckling over your comments that is great However why would you want to get together with your ex? Get a new one and see what happens to much baggage with exes.
There was a woman in our cong. who came into the "truth" in her late 60s or early 70s. She had been divorced from her ex for years, but they still lived together "for financial reasons". (I don't get it-why get divorced if you continue to live together for years?) Anyway, when she wanted to be an unbaptized publisher, the elders told her she had to move out of the house because she was living with a man whom she was not married to. The elder who related this info to me also mentioned that the two still got along well and met for lunch weekly. I said, "So, a single unbaptized publisher is dating a 'worldly' man, and the elders know about it; why is that OK? It isn't OK for any other single sister to date a 'worldly' man, is it?" The elder sort of blushed and said, "Well, I'm not going to say anything about it to her!"
When my husband and I were still dating, but unbaptized publishers in very good standing, we were counseled for coming to the meetings together in the same car. (I would drive to his apartment from my house in the country, then we would go to the KH together.) I guess coming to the KH in the same car might have been stumbling for the 'younger ones'. I was so upset by this I could hardly hold back the tears. Double standards!
If the sex is good and you don't actually have to live with them man, sounds all good to me. Sex without dirty laundry and cooking regular meals. . .just don't get pregnant! And if you have kids, don't be confusing them. Scripturally-seems like unless there was another marriage in the meantime it shouldn't be a problem, and even if HE married in the meantime, it might not be a problem, if 'biblically' you are still married to each other.
I dont particularly care if it's scripturally wrong... although if you are not scripturally divorced you are still married surely? Thats according to my mother anyway!
But it is WRONG!!! ewwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww There was a reason you divorced them!

What if a child is born from the act that goes on to save millions of lives? Was it still "wrong"?
You mean you shag your ex`and have Jesus Christ by accident?

There is kind of a serious side to this...
Let us just say that the elders might give you "scriptural divorce" if say your ex just admitted forth that she had done a liasson in the past. Now, if you had done as suggested after the paper divorce there is an awfully good chance that they would then deny your grounds for divorce and strongly doubt your word if a real divorce should be necessary later.
Of course, if you or the ex really cared what these sick elder voyeurs of your personal life thought, you would just go on about your business, wouldn't you?
