If a df really wants to get back in..move to a new area..wait for a door knocker..show interest..have bible study for a few weeks then attend meetings as an interested person.
By then the desire will have probably gone.

Treatment of Those Trying For Reinstatement
by Vanderhoven7 inwhat happens when a jehovah’s witness who has been disfellowshipped returns to attending the meetings again?.
mark jones writes:.
if it's the same congregation that they previously attended then, yes, the congregation will remember who they are and so continue to treat them as dead or invisible.. one of the identifying marks a cult is that it uses shame and humiliation to control members, to keep them from leaving and manipulating those who escaped into coming back.. a disfellowshipped person is never allowed to quietly leave with dignity.

Moral responsibility.
by nicolaou inno subtlety here, it's going to be obvious where i'm going with this.
please consider the following scenario.. you're seated on a railway platform bench waiting for your train.
a high speed intercity is about to hurtle through without stopping when you see a small child running to the platforms edge!

going back to the opening post---
in the 2000s till 2015 i was a volunteer at the local heritage steam railway.
As the steam railway played host to 1000's of visiting children every year ( familes, school parties, special events including santa claus ), all members of staff had to undergo a police check (DBS) as we were in close proximity to children. We were specifically instructed NOT to touch the children.
I often wondered what would happen in such an emergency as post # 1

How do you feel about Brexit?
by SydBarrett inthe "independent scotland" thread got me thinking on this.

surely one of the reasons for joining the EU in the first place--was to allow limitless cheap labour into the UK--thus keeping wages for the working masses low. Since leaving--wages have rapidly gone up. Whether thats a good thing--or not--is beyond me.

"Independent" Scotland joke!
by BoogerMan inhumza yousaf, scotland's first minister, said: "scotland, i'm afraid, is suffering because we are not independent.
" https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-scotland-politics-66012834.
try telling that to scotland's tourists and many island communities: the ferry services are dying month by month, and the two new overdue & over-budget ferries justify a serious legal/criminal enquiry.. any bunch of incompetents who can't provide a small country with a ferry service and a legally binding contract to build 2 new boats - having controlled scotland since 2007 - has no credibility in claiming they could run a country!.

i think if there is another vote on the subject of Scottish independence--then the whole of the UK should be included in the vote.
