I use to meet my former best friend, Johnny, for lunch from time to time. He has remained a JW in good standing all these many years. We've known each other since we were 12 years old.
Anyway....
I remember at one of these lunch discussions he told me that a certain brother we had known for years had become an Apostate and then returned to the Kingdom Hall and was reinstated.
Johnny said, "I just don't know how a person can spit on his whole life like that!"
I replied, "Me either."
But, we weren't talking about the same event!
If you "become Apostate" we should reasonably suspect you KNOW the lies, false prophecy and flip-flops as well as the deadly policies are wrong and destructive. To go back to an organization that you KNOW is false is unconscionable. It made me want to have a challenging conversation with brother Doug Summers!
So, it happens.
(Sh) it happens.
