I got an email with that a few months ago. It's something else that you can pick every word out and read it semi-fluently.

Hi Corvin. I've been reading your posts over the past few weeks. That does sound like good news and a step in the right direction. Your hard work is paying off. Keep it up!

Question: I need some info about reproof

by New Castles in

.

when someone is publicly reproved, what are their limitations in regards to family and friends?

?.

Usually someone is Publicly reproved because others know about the problem that the person had, if others don't then it's done privately. Basically, you're reproved because you've done something that you can be DF'd for, but have repented to the elders, and therefore, they can't DF you. You really shouldn't be shunned but there are those with the "My sh*t don't stink" attitude that will shun you anyway. Big loss. I've personally never seen family shun someone because they were reproved, unless there was something personal going on behind the scenes between the two parties.

what instances do you know of jw crime, particularly jw on jw or jw on xjw?.

JW A owned a automobile shop. JW B was the accountant. A knew nothing about finances and let Bvdo all the money work. Police contact A, and let him know that B is skimming thousands of dollars from the company. Turns out over years A lost almost $500,000 (this in mid-seventies). A doesn't want to press charges because B is a brother. Police go ahead with charges anyway, which A gets approached about from elders for bringing a brother to court. Elders don't believe that A didn't press charges so take away all "privleges" and nothing happens to B. Later B gets DF'd for homosexuality.

My ex-wife/ex-mother-in-law hired a thug to "hurt" me

by outbutnotdown in

i was out at the local pub on monday night and a big guy came up to me and wanted to "talk" to me.

as i went to see what he wanted, i made eye contact with the bouncer so that he knew that i wasn't completely cofortable with the situation.

the guy started off by saying that my ex-wife has been complaining that i have been harrassing her and that it's getting bad enough that she has to move out of town.

Just a question...These thugs, do they happen to be PT elders as well? Wouldn't surprise me some of the stuff I've been through.

Finally was able to talk!

yesterday i was able to actually talk with my wife about the wt, and where i stand.

i mean in detail.

for the last couple of years, i'd get bits and pieces out, but then get shut down as she didn't want to hear, but yesterday was different.

Thanks for the advice Mulan. I'll take it to heart. My salesman instinct says to "Go in for the kill!" But I won't. She said she'll think about things, and I know that looking at "Apostate" material is a big deal for her. She doesn't like change, hates it. That's what this is, and it scares her, because what if I'm right? (I think it may have happened before) And if now's not the right time for her, so be it, doesn't mean I won't talk about it to her 4, 6, 8 months from now. I'm just happy right now we got some dialoge going about it. It'll make it easier in the future.

Wow Mulan. That sounds very much like what's going on here. Hopefully with the same result. Thank you very much for sharing!
