if you've been disfellowshipped and had an appeal turned down can you appeal directly to the branch office?.
does anybody know the procedure on this?.
would you inform the original committee that disfellowshipped you that you were appealing direct to the branch?.

ok, so i was raised luthren, my dad was cathlioc and then i went dub for 5 years and since have been completely turned off religion.
the dub experience combined with world events and my personal ones have pretty much pushed all thoughts of a "almighty" out of my mind.
of course there are times that i think of religion or get into a "2am religion talk" and i wonder wtf is really going on.
fjtoth,
Would that not mean that the supreme, intelligent designer had the greatest need of a maker?
I can never really get my head around the concept of things needing a designer due to their complexity.

church allowed accused sex abuser to leave quietly
this is the headline on the front page of today's (feb 28) vancouver sun.. http://www.canada.com/vancouversun/news/story.html?id=db0e115a-2712-434c-ad62-fb11d28f5206&k=83834.
although this article refers to a roman catholic molester, reading it will cause many a jehovah's witness pedophile to start shaking in their boots or quivering in their jocky shorts.
Belbab,
There was a very prominent bethel elder (he was the bethel watchtower overseer) who was accused of abusing several boys... The allegations were made 3 or 4 years ago and related to events which took place 20 years ago.
As far as I'm aware it was all hush hush although he was made to leave bethel and is serving somewhere else now.
His name was Roger Kay!!!!!

That's the beauty of it Kristyann, whilst telling us that we'll be castrated and destroyed at the big A if we go to university the society hypocritically send bethelites to law school!
Of course it's all paid for from the donations that people who earn minimum wage give!
It would be funny if it wasn't so damn tragic!

funny, there whole reason for living is being affected by the 'postates.
they really need to get a life!
I can't believe this stuff...I'm terrified!
I see quite a large difference between the rules in England and America...
It seems a lot stricter in over the pond!
my friend has just been disfellowshipped today.... they want to appeal?.
what are the kinds of things that should be written in an appeal letter?.
i really appreciate any swift responses, as time is of the essence, due to the pesky 1 week rule!.
I really wanted to thank you guys for all your suggestions.
I'm drafting an appeal letter now and have quiet optimism about its success.
Ezra, I was raised in the truth and have examined issues very carefully (I've been perusing the net for 5 years).
I appreciate your comments but from personal experience I have to disagree.

Elsewhere,
That's brilliant, thanks for that.
After reading it I don't see how their appeal can fail...Especially taking into consideration the love of the elders

Thanks Damselfly,
I was thinking of tossing in a smattering of scriptures but considering the org they'd probably take more notice of W.T quotes!
