Pass along our best wishes to Tinkerbell for us, CC.
It was probably that wild apostagathering that did it! Just kidding...
Please keep us posted.

DFing the newly Reinstated? Yes !
by Amazing inin my other thread an excellent question was asked: what i wonder is: can they disfellowship me for stopping the attendance immediately after my reinstatement?
what could they do, apart from being a terrible nuisance?.
some ex-jw choose to get reinstated so that they can have some certain family ties, and then just function with a low profile and then fade away ... but officially stay a jw for family sake.

Lol with elsewhere, you make a good point! I dont doubt that some rogue, meat-headed body of elders who wanted to unduly avouch their "authority", hasnt tried this. But if they did, God help the body of elders that recorded that reason on a S-77 form! They would quickly send in the CO to spank some elder ass!
Amazing, you dogmatically asserted to minimus:
... that is why reinstated people are given restrictions until they demonstrate a pattern of works that befit repentance.
This is incorrect.
Please note when elders determine "works that befit repentance", and what the purpose of restrictions are in this one paragragh found on page 130 of the "Pay Attention" handbook, where it quotes the OM book page 150:
"When the judicial committee is CONVINCED that the disfellowshipped person is GENUINELY REPENTANT and should be reinstated, an announcement of the reinstatement is made, mentioning also that any RESTRICTIONS that apply UNTIL THE PERSON HAS REGAINED A MEASURE OF SPIRITUAL STRENGTH" (emphasis mine).
In regard to "works that befit repentance" the elders had to familiarize themselves with reams of material on this subject in the late 90's, in order to try to ascertain "repentance" BEFORE reinstatement.
Futhermore, as you can see, restrictions are not a "disfellowshipping held in abeyance".
However, let me say this, and it is just a personal opinion.
If the Society could get by with instituting what you say Amazing, I think they would.

Amazing, care to give us a written reference from the society (not a few elder's consensus) that can back up what you assert?
Preferably from the "Pay Attention" handbook.

I dont know you Lin, but just about anyone who has served as an elder in the Metroplex knows a Thoman.
I know several Thomans but that is all I will say for now. Around White Rock the woods used to be full of them. Dallas is so huge I can get away with admitting that!
This is no reflection on you at all dear, but they seemed pretty pharisaical.
I want to welcome you to the board and I am so glad that you broke the JW curse!
