The example of the prodical son was given and some other scriptures as well. The sins would have to be confessed, but impunity would be given.....unless they do not know the meaning of the word. They said Jehovah is forgiving the unwashed to allow everyone to get life. Isn't that loving?! (lol)
I know that if you turn in time, no one cares if u attend the meetings. You are NOT on the CO's report....You are invisible.....Now, that no longer applies. I am on the radar......they said that this is a rare case...

I had not been to the meeting in years, but turned in time to NOT be bothered. They said that I can NOT do that anymore, unless I attend the meeting. They asked the CO.

I am assuming that if you fornicate and say you are a witness, then you bring reproach. Despite being inactive, people think you are a witness, even though you are inactive. The thought is when you become active, you were disciplined. If you fornicate and do not say you are a J-Dub.......and STOP, then the impunity clause probably kicks in.
The above is all my own reasoning, not based on my conversation.

I am not sure if it is true or not. This is based on dialogue only.

Yes, I asked directly. They stated that people, especially women will commit great sins and feel that they would get disfellowshipped if they returned. The key is to not sin and say that u are a witness. This was said to be in a letter from Brooklyn.
Also, you can NOT turn in time and not attend the meetings. Time is only for ACTIVE J-Dubs.

The elders stopped by today. They spoke of a new arrangement where the org is asking EVERYONE to come back regardless of their sins. They just want them to come back with impunity. I am not sure if this was announced on this board before, but I thought it was interesting.
Also spoke of the New York elders school becoming local.

With this new logic and reasoning, it appears that there will truly NOT be any intelligent J-Dubs in the org. This teaching will be ignored and 5 years before it reverts back to a previous understanding, the majority of dubs will examine it.

I have learned that anyone that actually READS the magazines can NOT possibly believe the garbage!!! The generation teaching will never go away. The explanations are becoming more and more difficult to back themselves out of. The new light has to enlighten the few intelligent J-Dubs in the dark!!!

How Many Here Actually "Studied" The Publications?
by minimus inwhen i was a teenager i extensively studied nearly every publication.
i especially enjoyed looking up the root words meanings in the hebrew and greek of the bible language.
it gave me the flavor of a word and its origins.

I read almost everything. I was a regular pio, so I read it and commented at least 3 times every meeting. Although, I have NEVER read a yearbook!! I always thought it was a waste!!
