this df persons walks up to the cood and says i would like to give you my reinstatement letter because i have been attending meetings here ,the cood says do not give me that letter i need to observe you first then you can rurn in letter i ask my friend is that something new?
the person only wants to return because they want to speak to there mother and father and siblings so thats the resl reason but now they have to sit and wait for this elder to observe them what hypocrites.
Return to Jehovah! , They said. Prodigal Son, they said. Loving Shepherds, they said.
Ok, thats enough.
To answer OP's question, They actually broke their own rules. Shepherd the Flock of God a.k.a. ks10 pg 118
Even if the committee feels that it is much too soon to consider reinstatement, two members of the committee should acknowledge receipt of the request and briefly inform the disfellowshipped one that more time must pass. Written requests for reinstatement should be responded to promptly.

is this supposed to placate the ones who have been recently fired?
is this a sign of the aging jw leadership?
I remember Episcopo from his powerful DC talks back in the nineties. He was such a pillar in the US Spanish DO workMe too. I also remember Gary "Bro-Bro" Breaux, before he moved to Brooklyn. These guys are too high up the WT ladder to really feel the pinch. Nobody is "reassigning" them, so their words ring hollow.
i was sorting some papers tonight and came across a copy of the august 1980 km which announced the "apostasy against the organization" (a letter from the governing body) and has the notification that raymond franz was no longer a member of the governing body and bethel family.
i remember reading this just as i was making plans to disassociate myself at the same time.
this copy of the km was in some papers that belonged to my mother-in-law (who passed away several years ago).
08 1980 OKS with Ray Franz announcement and letter from GB about apostasy.
and I have added it to my archives, as km_E_198008.pdf

I love how they parade these old timers around as examples of "Everything will be fine if you just obey WT". They got "changes in assignment" back in the day that WT was still hiring for life.
How about some of the recently Booted ones? OR the ones they kicked out during the Great Rescission of 2008?! Let's hear from them! Did the ORG help them with food or housing after a lifetime of work? Pensions? Severance package?

Is this supposed to placate the ones who have been recently fired? Is this a sign of the aging JW leadership? Does anyone else call Gary Breaux "Bro-Bro"??? Discuss
someone is claiming that they hacked the cia directors email and stole personal + restricted information.
but we're not talking about hillary :).
i don't know if it's real or not yet - it seems like it may be.

I know some will lump this in with Snowden & Manning, but I don't think that is right. It is one thing to expose the violations of the constitution committed by the Government, but a completely different thing to dox people. This is the type of thing that ruins careers and lives.
I'll reserve judgement for now, but this guy had better produce something of value. Otherwise, he is just causing needless suffering.
in jeremiah 10:10, yahweh bears two titles that are placed in parallelism: mlk 'wlm "eternal king" and hw'-'lhym chyym "the living god".
in canaanite literature, 'llm or olam is an epithet that the aged father god el specifically bears, in addition to ab-shanem "father of years," elyon "most high", shaddai "mountain-dweller," and others.
however the rephaim, the dead ancestor kings in the netherworld, may also lay claim to 'llm in their kingship.

If you are new to this board, do yourself a favor and read the Topic history of Leolaia (comment history if you have time). It is an education, to say the least.
Thank You Leolaia, hope you will rejoin the discussion some day! (or see this and smile, if you are lurking)
here is an idea i tested.
works at both assemblies and conventions.
i have noticed at the last convention and at my last assembly that when i opened up my wifi setting, tons of hotspots came up for people tethering their tablets to their smart phones.
I've done the Piratebox thing. Pics of my tiny setup.
There is fun to be had with SSID's too.
Set up a Google account, then follow these steps:
.By default, the link you share will be view only for others. To allow people with the link to comment on or edit the file, click the dropdown menu under "Link sharing on" and change the setting from "People with the link can view" to "People with the link can comment (or can edit)".
Note:To allow anyone to be able to open the file or folder using the link, make sure to change your sharing settings to “Anyone with the link” or “Public on the web”. Click Change… when you’re in the sharing box to change this setting.
i heard that co's were provided with a talk outline in which people who dress and act too "gay" could eventually "no longer qualify to share in the ministry", should they not change the way they look!.
has anyone else ever heard of any other reason for which someone would be disqualified from the ministry?.
Can someone get me the full S-337a-16-E?
ALSO, Time for me to go SUPER effeminate! I will wear tight pants and prance my way out of having to go into service!
