They made it easier to be reinstated because they're losing members right and left.
It's not a loving arrangement. It's one of pure strategy.

Joel P. Engardio's article on JWs (Washington Post)
by behemot injehovah's witnesses: a model for church and state begin blogger thumbs end blogger thumbs by joel p. engardio.
if i'm ever allowed to legally marry, my mother won't attend my wedding.. i'm a gay man and my mom is one of jehovah's witnesses.
to remain true to her faith, she can't in good conscience be part of a same-sex marriage celebration.

Elders calling me in an hour
by bottleofwater inokay, if you haven't figured me out yet, read my past forum posts.. so the 2 elders wanted to meet up with me for the last time today to talk to me, but i told them that i want to talk on the phone and not in person as i can speak more freely and have less inhibitions.. they found out that i had committed acts of homosexuality with a few people and they still want to keep me in the congregation somehow.. i, myself, don't feel repentant over what i did and don't really regret much.
if i came across an opportunity to actually be in a relationship with someone and it were to appeal to me, i could potentially take that opportunity.. so now, i need to know what to tell them when they call me in an hour from now.
i want to be able to let them know that i don't mind being disfellowshipped and that i'm not repentant.

What if it's in the same building?
Still the same "house".
It's retarded in my opinion, but on the other hand it's unlikely that you could find two witnesses to testify against you.
What's the point of this? I could've killed someone and denied it and then claim haha no witnesses!
Then you could still be an elder, pioneer, MS, whatever. I wonder how much goes unnoticed...

I talked to them over the phone due to insisting and I really told them off.
They talked to me as to when I want a Judicial Committee. I told them Friday, but that I won't attend probably.
They told me that if I have a "change of heart" that I can go to the JC and tell them.
