FDS says - "No need to check our work. Besides, it will only make God angry."
by Crisis of Conscience inthough i no longer believe the fds is indeed appointed by god, i guess because of what has been taught to me all these years through the wtbts, i still make an effort to try and look at both sides.
and then i come across this number below, which is how i arrived at my title for this thread.

If we have once established what instrument God is using as his "slave" to dispense spiritual food to his people, surely Jehovah is not pleased if we receive that food as though it might contain something harmful.
And how exactly is one supposed to "establish what instrument God is using as his "slave" if you can't freaking well check their credentials??!!!
What a bunch of knobs................

My 16 year Old is Having Surgery Tomarrow
by lovelylil inboy am i glad we are not witnesses anymore.
my son is having two large cysts removed tomarrow, they are in sort of a delicate area.
because of where they are located, the potential for heavy blood loss is high.

headisspinning, you really need to think about this before you attempt to go back. There was another long-time poster on here who had been DF'd for a number of years and who decided to 'return to the vomit' so that he could have a relationship with his family, who are all hard-core Witnesses. The plan was for him to get reinstated and do The Fade which would keep the lines of communication open. His family agreed to this deception (although I often wonder how they imagined Jehovah would view the fact that they were helping a known 'apostate' sneak back into the fold).
He got reinstated, but to date, has not done The Fade. The reason being, his family holds him as an emotional hostage with the view that: 'If you want our (conditional) love, you have to continue to go to the meetings. We don't give a crap how unhappy you are; if you leave, we'll shun you all over again.' When he said something to his son in law about 'you knew I didn't believe this was the Truth when I got reinstated and hid it' his hypocritial son-in-law---who was made an elder a couple of years ago--arrogantly replied "That was then---this is now". What a sweetheart eh?
You can't live this sort of life forever without it tearing you apart. I understand the need to have family but just be warned that the scenario you have laid out might not work if your kids are hardcore Witnesses.

In theory, your plan is good, but it probably won't play out this way. If you had divorced your JW hubby and married a 'worldly' person, it's not quite as bad in the eyes of JWs as when you divorce your JW (no matter how rotten a person they may be) and hook up with another married JW---no matter that they might also be in a miserable marriage. For some reason, this is viewed as being only one step above 'apostasy', and they will milk this for all it's worth. I know an elder in my old hall who did this very thing and it took them 5 years to get reinstated, I kid you not. So don't be surprised if your request to be reinstated is turned down. Here's a quote they did on the subject years ago:
"Time and again those who have committed adultery have divorced their mates and, having remarried, have been disfellowshiped, only to be reinstated after a year or so. Evidently the elders handling such cases based their decision on what God's Word has to say about showing mercy. True, Jehovah God is merciful and so must elders be. However, to any man and woman who have cunningly planned such actions in order to marry each other it can only be said that even though the elders reinstated them that is by no means the end of the matter. Elders can base their decision only on the apparent repentance, but they are unable to read the heart fully. Not being able to judge the motive, they may reinstate the now married couple. But let that couple never forget Paul's words that "God will judge fornicators and adulterers." (Heb. 13:4)---- w81 7/1 p. 21 par. 15 The God of Love Hates a Divorcing
Even if you are reinstated in a short amount of time, you'll probably have to either go for longer than what you want (I'd say 5 or 6 monts) and then move if you want to avoid further disciplinary action from these idiots.
