    i have a jw freind who faded and has been out now for about a year and a half. They are not DF'd or DA'd at all and therefore still tecnicaly a JW.

    In this time of being out he has got himself a girlfreind, started smoking, drinking and doing everything that worldly people do, but heres the thing...

    Hes told me that he still belives its the truth, and he intends to go back some day, and he belives that when he dos he will be welcomed with open arms, there will be no JC's at all. If this is true then it would be ok to have a holiday from being a JW, somehow i can't see this happening...

    So what will happen to this guy when he finaly goes back????

    Depends on what is known about his actions and his BOE's state of mind......

    Say he walks in the KH ten years from now.....claims he has been inactive and wants to return..... the correct and humble procedure is to 'submit' to theocratic guidance and ask for the Elders to arrange a study in order to re-associate him into the community...... after a month he should ask about participating in FS...... 6 months from there he can start climbing the WTS ladder again.

    Being a male he is quite valuable.......

    Actually I know several 'elderkids' who are in his frame of mind.... it isn't unusual.
