has anyone been successful in getting their disfellowshipping rescinded?
i specifically do not mean getting reinstated.
i want to know if anyone that was disfellowshipped was able to officially and through the congregation and/or the organization have their status as a "disfellowshipped person" changed without getting "reinstated" through the normal procedures?.

shocking information near the bottom of this report from a watchtower lawyer definding the organization in australian courts.focus on the information under the heading: "the faithful and discreet slave".
quite the shocker... the society's lawyer statesthere is no true physical body of people, but only a theological arrangement.
the jws in the crowd gasped.

if we weren't invited, this is the "bragging" information we missed last saturday, oct. 22, 2011, at the zone meeting with tie-in from patterson, ny .
59 locations tied-in plus spanish.
anticipating 258,000 attendance from tickets given out.
Maybe there will be "New Light," and this meeting will become one of the trumpet blasts of Revelation.

there are reports on one of the facebook ex jw groups that a 19 year old girl who disassociated herself last week was physically attacked by her family and so she tried to commit sucide by shooting herself.
she's in a critical state in hospital.
i don't know all the details but it would appear that she had endured sexual abuse.. please keep her in your thoughts.. .
Thanks Mm, will do.

a very close friend of mine is giving a public talk around may about the bible.
he asked me to help him out (of course not knowing where i stand with everything).
a perfect opportunity!
I always liked the way LittleToe gave his last talk:

in his book, in search of christian freedom, ray franz wrote that that gb members for the most part never participated in door-to-door work.
they were "too busy with more important things.
" (gee, how come that excuse wouldn't work for the rest of us?
ldrnomo,
I actually went out in door-to-door with Dan Sydlick, when he was visiting our congregation as host of a district convention in 1975. He actually was pretty cool for a GB; he didn't even rag on me for having a TransAm, as long as I was willing to use it in FS.
