Hi DFshipped,

You never said why you were df's just that you did somthing stupid.
How do you know you won't do it again. Perhaps if 'after 15 months it's getting hard' you might be about to do it again.

------------------------------------------------------------------------I recently went to a congregation to request reinstatement and I was told it would probably be three months! --------

Mommy,

I have wondered if the spirit tell the brothers the time period, it will take to be reinstated.

(and I'm still trying to figure out that quote feature).

Happy to be Free (Me)

Wow
What a lotta-comments.
Perhaps somethings needs clearing up.
Frenchy,
Where did I say I dont know how to get back? I never said that. Are you an apostate? and if so is it because you read into the publications something that was not there, like you read and misquoted me. I have already made an appeal.

You may right, but you may be wrong. I think you are wrong. Nevertheless, if you took the time to read my message I was appealing to those of "like mind" to contact me. It is hard because I am in a new country, so I have no friends, no congregation asociation, and my wife has left me. So it is lonely and extremly isolated. 15 months is not an excessive time when a congrgation on another continent df'd me and it takes 3 months for the mail to get there and back.
Thinkers wife
Thank you. You are open minded and supportive of my right to want to get back. The others dont seem to respect that right and desire. Yet they left the WBTS for alledged intolerance.

Jehovah set times for Israel to wander for 40 years and for the Jews to wait 70ys for return to their land....So yes Jehovah sets and allows time
Im only trying to please Jehovah by attending meetings, and those give me the only source of encouragment I can get right now.

Thank you too.
Yes as an Elder, District convention speaker etc I am more accountable. I deserve this, HOWEVER asking to share encouraging thoughts with some tolerant ones is encouraging.

Hi DFshipped-Nickl,
At the momment I am inactive,but I was in your shoes a few years back.
I also was df'd. Thruout the whole time I was away from the org.,I was still sure that they had the "truth". So much so that I decided to go back to the society. I sat thru all the meetings. All 5 of them every week for about a year or so. I got there late and I left early. I put up with them not talking to me and some giving me dirty looks.
But, I thought it was all worth it because after all they had the "truth".
Well, I was finally reinstated (alright people,hold your applause) and glory be I was finally allowed to be talked to.
Well needless to say, it came as a shock to me to learn that they (WTS) had "new light" while I was df'd. The elders never told me about the changes until I was reinstated.
What got me to start looking at the history as well as all the changes that the org. has had, was the 1914 generation change.
I thought how can they possibly make that kind of change in their teaching if they are really Gods chosen orginization?
For years,we r&f JWs went to peoples doors telling them that we were in the last days. Any time now armageddon was going to be on our doorstep.
In fact that's the teaching that got me involved with them in the first place. And now they were saying NEVER MIND.
That is NOT a teaching the WTS could get wrong IF Jehovah was really using them. So I decided to find out about the other changes. And Oh my goodness,there were a lot of changes thruout the history of the WTS.
You were an elder in the org. So i'm sure you know a lot more about the changes than I.
All I can say to you at this point about getting reinstated is, If you really love Jehovah and His Son Jesus Christ, Think long and hard before you do get reinstated because you know that once you do ,you have to believe and teach everything they tell you even if it's not the absolute "truth". And they are probablly going to change those teachings in a few years.

Now I am quoting you. I did not do so before. What you said was: "...I've attended meetings since I was df'd but after 15 months it is getting hard." If you have been df'd for fifteen months and trying to get back in then: You don't know how to get back in!
The fact remains that you are violating the Society's rules while appealing to others for moral support. Have YOU read the publications?

-Seen it all, done it all, can't remember most of it-

My opinion was Jeohovah NEVER said "Nation of Isreal you must walk for 10 more days...Then you will enter the promise land"
What I was pointing out was, how can the brothers tell you in 3 months? They will be able to read your heart in 3 months? That just sounds CRAZY to me:) I guess my problem really is with the whole df thing anyway sorry.I hope I didn't step on anyones toes.
