Did You Know That You Could Be Disfellowshipped For French Kissing?

  Minimus,

  My understanding has been that any judicial action taken by the elders has to have some correspondence with the Society, even if it is private. They even have it color-coded. I believe it's the blue envelopes that always contain the forms for a person reproved or DFd (yeah, they even have official forms for this stuff!). Of course, perhaps these elders just "reproved" the young couple in a non-judicial way. Remember, there is the "official" reproved -- in the judicial committee sense, and the "you shouldn't have done that" reproved in the non-committee sense.

  it's amazing that ANY kind of interaction is permitted... think of how much time you waste when you COULD be studying/going door to door/etc. etc. LOL

  The blue envelopes are only used for correspondence to the Society when a person gets disfellowshipped or disassociates himself. Other than that the reproofs are kept in the KH file. The only thing the Society will know is that the Circuit Overseer has noted how many judicial reproofs took place within the last 6 months.
