  With the good advice I got here, I wound up trimming it all down. I don't bring up his faith at all. Here's the new version (minus all the how-ya-doin' stuff)

  >> When did you get reinstated?

  You knew I was DF'd maybe 6-7 years ago. Well, I was reinstated 5-6 years ago. But I don't attend the kingdom hall anymore.

  >> Send me your number so I can call.

  Then I gave him my number.

  We shall see, eh? Keep your fingers crossed and your talismans polished!

  I was letting a little time pass, holding out hope. But no dice.

  He replied, but he pressed the "So... are you disfellowshipped or not?" issue. He apparently didn't want the wiggle-room that my initial reply was offering. So I told him what I said in my first draft, essentially that I was told a JC would be held which I didn't attend, and that presumably an announcement was made.

  I haven't heard back. And unless he manages to claw his way out of the bOrg, I don't suppose I ever will.

  Fare well, Joe. Enjoy your "paradise".
