hopefully someone will be able to help answer this... .
my friend is still a jw, but she hasn't been going to the meetings regularly and she hasn't been out in service in ages, so i guess she's inactive.
a "friend" of hers ratted her out to the elders for something and they now want to meet with her.
There are no witnesses to what she's being accused of, only hearsay. But two of the people who ratted her out to the elders are known to lie. Sick, isn't it?
I hope you're right. I don't think she's still 100% convinced that it's the true religion, but I don't think she's ready for the demoralizing process of being disfellowshipped either. I'm hoping with time she'll come around...

A "friend" of hers ratted her out to the elders for something and they now want to meet with her. She's been reproved three times and threatened with DFing before, so if she meets with them, she will most likely be DF'd. If she refuses to meet with them, can they still DF her? My thought is that they can't. Because in a judicial meeting there are three elders, and they document everything. So if she speaks to one of them on the phone and says, "I'm just not emotionally able to meet with you right now or talk about anything." and they have no documented proof or confession from her that she did anything, then they can't DF her, right? Or if they do, won't she have legal recourse against them for defamation of character, slander, etc?
i'm new to these boards.
i'll introduce myself.. i was raised a jw, baptized at 13, pioneer at 15, married at 18, divorced at 21, disfellowshipped and pregnant at 22, and here i am.
i gave birth to a beautiful baby boy about five months ago, and i've never been happier, but that has required a lot of sacrifice and hurt.
I have three cats: Joint, Ramona, and Oscar.
Joint weighs as much as my five month old son. His principal food group-- cheese. He's diabetic, he has no hair on the lower half of his back, he can't reach to lick his own ass, he stopped burying his turds years ago... we're just trying to keep him comfortable at this point.

I miss my family terribly, and I'm pretty sure there will never be a time when they are a part of my life again. I'm just seeking to get to know others who are in similar circumstances.
Look forward to talking with all of you.
