  Automatic reinstatement if teaching gets reversed?

  by Fatfreek in

  let's say your spouse admitted to having sex with animals, you went to the elders and they told you that you were not free to remarry -- but you went ahead, divorced the scumbag, and remarried someone else.

  you, of course, got disfellowshipped.

  since then, the society reverses its position.

  I wonder if it has more to do with their lawyers not wanting them to apologize ?

  tell us something you've always wanted to do, dreamed of doing, wish you could do, but have not (yet) done.

  tell us what your dreams are.

  JW TERMS I CAN'T STAND

  by str8?so is spaghetti..until you heat it up in

  2. friends

  there are a few terms i cannot stand that jw's use and now i have to consciously convince myself not to use:.

  1. the truth - um nothing could be further from being accurate.

  2. worldly - as if they are 'other worldly' or 'supreme beings'.

  i'm sorry to aggrivate you about my life choices all of the time.

  you guys just always give the best advice.

  you understand and don't look down on me for being a little behind in my career due to being a jw until i was 23.. so i'm like the rest of you with a high school diploma only because of that stupid religion.

  Let me put it this way...20% of Real Estate Agents at the top make 80% of the money...the other 80% of the Real Estate Agents are fighting for the the other 20% of the money.

  ...i've heard that a lot over the years.

  "just get over it, let the past stay in the past".

  i always say, "ya, but...".

  Hi Moxie,

  This is my first time posting and this is the very thing I am having so much trouble with. There is a hurt inside of me that I feel will never go away and it has changed me. Even if I was to get reinstated i'm not sure all that hurt inside would go away. I had problems from my past that my wife told me to just "get over it "! She also left me a note saying to "get busy" and get reinstated because people in the congregation miss me. Funny though when I put in a letter to be reinstated they told me no "for the good of the congregation". It really confused me because if many in the congregation want me back then why did they still keep me out for the sake of the congregation ? Maybe they have some rule to refuse you on your first letter...does'nt matter if you pour your heart out in it. So I feel for you Moxie because it hurts and I wish I had a favorable answer but I have a feeling it will always be there so maybe thats why people tell us to "move on"?
