  i was df'd when i was 20 or so for fornication.

  i got reinstated when i was 24. i had a son during that time and i was worried about us if we didn't get back to the fold and 'protection' of the organization.

  DF'ed in 2008 for having the best, most pleasurable, wild sex I could ever imagine. Of course, being married 20 years with a once a week missionary position episode lasting 50 seconds, is not that hard to beat.

  Reinstated? NEVER

  my friend called round before and has just left.

  he told me that he was worried about me and that he wanted to speak to me as to why i havnt been going to the meetings or on the field service.

  i told him that im just not discussing the reasons at all.

  2. friends

  from the excellent website, jw facts, here are a few examples of rhetorical fallacies within the watchtower.

  red herringa red herring is the introduction of irrelevant material into a discussion to divert attention away from the points being made.a common witness retort to a difficult question is "where else would we go?

  " this is a red herring as it diverts attention from answering the issue at hand.
