I never got into trouble with the elders. I served on judicial committees too many times. I am happy that I no longer have to "judge" whether someone is a "sinner" any longer! ----I'm curious, how many of you had to endure a judicial meeting and how did it turn out in the end?
Were You Ever Disfellowshipped or Judicially Reproved?

I was disfellowshipped in absentia by the circuit overseer. Two elders came to my house to announce their decision.

I've been before two, the first time I was reproved, the second I was disfellowshipped even though I came to the brothers of my own accord after all probability of being caught had passed. Guess that isn't considered a sign of true repentance.
Funnilly enough, the disfellowshiping did help me have a change of heart, just not the one they were banking on.

D/f'd three times. Came back each time. Lied more each time. Why? Family, blood, history!
Is this a record?

Nope, never. Model JW, got advice from my elder father, tell them it is none of their business.

reproved once, df'd once. The judicial meeting was 4 hours long for both the reproof and the df. To get reinstated it took 2 years, 3 letters, and a half hour meeting, 3 hour meeting and another 3 hour meeting. Crazy bastards.
