    Just to note why its so totally silly and demeaning to be afraid of those unequivocal hypocritical asshole elders,

    my PO in my old hall was sleeping with another woman while he was married with 3 children

    and sitting on the congregations JC at the same time.

    N-kiki your a sad case indeed, really I hope you rethink what your doing.

    Maybe you should mention to them that your getting personal advise on the situation directly from here,

    that may help you out.

    Funny I was thinking the same thing, or that she has been reading the flock book online.

    I did not know right away that this board was apostate when I joined,

    I thought it was JW's that came together and spoke openly about

    what was going on inside them about what they felt and thought about

    the organization. I found it refreshing.

    At the time I was just looking for other JW's online.

    Isn't it funny how we use that word "apostate" in reference to ourselves when the JWs are the ones who could be considered apostates?!

    Welcome, NKiki. You said:

    I've heard that the elders wont reinstate you with your first letter basicaly holding you back waiting for you second attempt and I've also heard that elders wont reinstate with out the CO saying so.

    I don't think they contact the CO about reinstatements unless the case was especially notorious. As to whether to cry or not, some look for tears or they will think they have not properly humiliated you and you may be denied reinstatement. Others, maybe not. It's your call.

    You said something about the elders having training. My husband was an elder for twenty years. There was NO TRAINING. One day he was not an elder and the next day he was. He began sitting in on judicial cases. He always tried to help people. Other elders were not that way. One time the leading elder on a committee told the person, "Why don't you just tell us what you did so we can disfellowship you?" Loving, eh?

    At any rate, you seem sincere, and I hope all goes well for you.

    Almighty said N-kiki, you've come to ask a question like this on the biggest anti-jws/ apostate web site there is on the net,

    you truly are a nut case of sorts? sad case?

    Almighty No one is talking to her in JW land. On this site we will listen to her, understand how she feels and most of us will give her sound advice and not call her names

    OK I guess I'm being a bit harsh, I 'm just trying to provoke some critical thinking on her part so she doesn't make a very big mistake

    that she'll regret later on.

    It just gives me shivers up my spine when I hear people trying so hard and diligently to get back in the big trap.

    Some souls I guess are just meant to be lost forever.
