What about the ones that go off and screw their best freinds wife, both get DF'd and six months to a year later are reinstated?....
I witnessed this first hand in the first congregation I attended. A ministerial servant ran off with an elders wife. When their DF was announced there was hugs all around for the innocent parties and their kids. Word was that the guilty parties moved away to another state married and were eventually reinstated back into a local congregation.
The innocent parties? Well they showed up walking together hand in hand at a circuit assembly later that year. Guess there was no reason why they shoudn't have gotten together.
I think they should've just cut out all the intermediary drama and swapped.
How do I know this happened? Well, those so called discreet elders couldn't wait to get home and tell their wives, who in turn told a couple of discreet pioneer sisters, who then blabbed to everyone else.
