Welcome Steve--I was reinstated many years ago, then just quit going. People tried to get me to meet with the elders but I refused. They have left me alone, and they are counting me as 'inactive'. This is even though my JW sister has know that I have been celebrating all the holidays, and living an 'immoral' life according to their little rules. I probably just was announced as no longer one of JWs because I sent a letter to my sister recently letting her know how I honestly feel about the Watchtower Society, that they are an evil cult that breaks up families. I got tired of walking on eggshells around my sister and being oh-so-careful about how I spoke around her, apparently she thought I still had the JW mindset.
Anyway, I'm rambling on. Hope you learn the truth about the 'Truth'.
