  What if those df'd......could they?

  i've recently seen that some teaching have changed.

  so my question is, if someone was df'd for instance for divorcing there partner for having gay relations and this was years ago when there wasnt grounds for it, so they were df'd, if now because the understanding has changed, could they appeal and be reinstated with a public apology?.

  i know what you mean...

  You constantly see:

  "Just got back from a great day in service!!!"

  "Tonight is family worship!"

  and my favorites:

  "Jah is so blessing!"

  "Be fishers of men. You catch Them - He'll clean them"

  An Appeal

  yesterday ae made a rather glowing statement about me in which i quote below.

  "you keep trying to fool yourself, you know there's a problem, it was pointed out to you in the past, i'll say no more , but yes there(sic) warnings must be true and for my kids safety i cannot have any dealings with you.

  i'm aware of your past, i gave you the benefit of the doubt, but i'm a parent and have to always safeguard my children.".

  ok, im putting my neck on the line here but ive always believed that children should be raised to make their own choice, if to serve jah or not.. i wasnt ever forced to believe in anything, any religion etc, although my background is very complicated.. anyway, hubby and i have always thought that how can a child decide if they dont know what other things are, ie birthday partys, halloween etc.

  so, our children are allowed to choose if to go places etc.

  last year our little boy said he didnt want to go to a halloween party, this year he said he might.

  Do you ever feel bitter...

  ...that if you had never been a jw you could have been in a totally different, hopefully better, place than where you are now?

  both when it comes to proffession and family etc.... sometimes i feel that i never explored any hobbies coz preaching was my hobby.

  i know it's not too late for babies or new hobbies but still sometimes that makes me sad.. love.

  Yes and no...i agree with bigwilly, in that all of our decisions (and even some not our own) bring us here, make us who we are. So although i resent a certain part of me that was raised as a witness...it wasn't all bad. And again, it all brought me here today.

  Hi there, and welcome to the forum...

  I'm in a similar situation...(honestly almost identical). It is definitely refreshing to talk to others who feel the same way, right?
