  like tikjmo said i was honestly repentent too,

  tho my situation was wierd i had been before them and they had decided to publicly reprove me as they said they werent sure what i had done was a dfing offence! (i used to think u couldnt get reproved unless it was a serious offence!)SO i was waiting for the annoucement on the thursday but on the tuesday i was before them again, because the guy had been back in touch and asked to see me again i said NO (got that NO) but they said the fact i had spoke to him showed unrepentence and i was dfed for loose conduct coz apperently an attitude (of saying no) was wrong and suddenly a dfing offence when i hadnt done anymore wrong!

  grissom you are talking crap, i know alot of people who have been dfed and were truely sorry, but the jc decided they werent (thought imperfect men couldnt read hearts!) one guy i know hadnt really done anything wrong but he had a nervous smile and couldnt stop grinning thoughout his jc! needless to say he was dfed! hope hes still smiling now hes free of dubdom.

  obiously as people have said you dont have to put yourself through this altho if you dont admit to adultery he could not remarry, but tik is right if he cares so much about doing it 'right' he is a hypocrite because if he knows u havent done anything then he is kidding god anyway! he doesnt sound very strong spiritually anyway i cant understand why he is so bothered, are his family in the religon?

  when i had a jc and got disfellowshipped i admitted to touching a guy for thirty seconds (yes they go into great detail!) and my elders said we could get a scriptual divorce, but other elders have been shocked at that so guess it depends where you live! its a joke really! so maybe you dont have to say that much!!

  you sound like you still like him, in which case why not just see if you can work things out?

  tho if not and you did get divorced you definately can marry again but you couldnt live together or have sex (with anyone knowing) till you were married again.

  hope that helps

  MY ADVENTURE AT THE ASSEMBLY......

  by Mary in

  2. friends

  to start my day with: as i was walking down the street towards hell the assembly, i went to cross halfway across the road when a cheese and cracker brother told me that i should "cross at the light so that others can see that jehovah's people are law abiding citizens.

  stick my lapel badge up his ass sideways make a good impression so i waited until he was distracted by other jaywalkers and then dashed across the road complied with his suggestion.

  once in the building i managed to find a seat next to a guy who looked remarkably like fat bastard was a bit on the plump side.

  were you at the manchester one/ im not sure where your from, i have just come back, and also noticed the word obedient! that talk you mentioned 'being obedient to those taking the lead' i wrote a few quotes from my assembly coz i couldnt believe it:

  'we are being governed by the fds the word govern is likened to sailing a ship (how?) if we do our own thing and act independetly of the fds we r on a collison course with god! and just like a ship on a collisin course we will be destroyed, many have acted independtly of the fds and look where they are now'

  (exactly look where they are now ,happy no longer controlled, NORMAL!!)

  'isaih 45:14 talks about unpaid labours(us) being in fetters thats how we should be ,'tied' to the fds completely under their submission.

  i wrote quite alot of quotes from my convention, will post some when i have more time! then we can all have a good laugh,

  tho you said they didnt mention the internet but they did on fri at mine under the heading of 'DO NOT FOLLOW ARTFULLY CONTRIVED STORYS'

  maybe you were at war of the worlds then? (wish i had been!)

  the hall i was brought up in they were really great quite a young bunch,(very forgiving)

  we had to move to another hall coz the elders were that useless my dad got sent in to 'sort it out' really lax,

  then when i got married moved to another hall which is basiclly run by one man who they all answer to, you can tell some times the other elders dont agree with him but what he says goes, he is wierd tho ,my friend went to him when her husband beat her up and he said its only like you hitting your 4 year old daughter nothing wrong with it! of course the other elder sat there didnt dare disagree! (thats only one example)

  it strikes me as funny how different halls can have such different ways of dealing with things what ever happened to the holy spirit guiding the only true united organization!

  i went to the meeting yesterday because the out of town speaker and his wife are good friends of my wife and i. after the meeting we got invited to someones house who was feeding the speaker because they know that we are friends and because ive missed lots of meetings in the last two months and my wife and i need a good love bombing!

  well during our lunch i was complaining about my having braces at 30 and how stupid i looked with them and the 83 year old sisters house we were at told me that i wasted my money on them because the end would be here with 7 years anyway.

  i asked her "do you really think so?

  kattie i agree with you too thats why i feel so bad for my family my dads 66 and all my grandparents were dead well before then and my dad keeps reminding me of that fact (thats why im meant to get reinstated asap!)

  but even tho id love to i would find it hard to tell my parents the life theyve been living, the scrafices thevye made (and there have been many) have all been for nothing, i would be so cruel, and yet when i was pioneering i thought i was helping some poor old soul to see the light when i said his religon was 'a snare and a racket!'
