is it true there is a 10 year rule?
i was reading on here when i saw someone quote it?
i've never heard of it before!.
One should not be reading to much into this ten year rule. The resources have stated 10 years after reinstatement, the person can qualify for......
This doesn't imply that a DF person could walk into KH and expect to erase everything as if it didn't happen. There is still the reinstatement that must take place according to the material discussed.

So that's it? Something written in the Lamp book, back in the 60's? We were also told that we shouldn't dance the twist back then, but, now we twist and shout every wedding we are invited to. If anyone mentions the Lamp Book today in an Elders meeting, he'd be laughed outside the room.

Well, let's hear more about this
well i joined two dating sites yesterday and i have had lots of messages.
a couple of guys want to chat to me by phone to get to know me better.
i've been asked out on two dates.
I read a few of the posts for this thread, and just fast fwd to reply. I hope I'm not repeating someone elses comments.
When you are ready to talk about your past, only give small dosages. i.e. My family is deep into religion....etc. Then only answer his questions, don't volunteer more information at this time.
Happy dating
discreetly!.
that was the word the speaker used to tell jws at the regional convention that when the need to visit or associate with d'fd family members....okay to do so......only discreetly!.
on friday morning in the 6 part symposium entitled 'what must be kept in second place?
That's right Shirley. If the DF person lives at home, the family can sit down and have a meal, socialize, though not spiritually, have family worship. But, if the DF lives out of the home, they don't contact them unless it is family business.

My apologies, I just consulted my notes. This is what I wrote down.
"We need to take a stand towards those who are DF'd, those who are inviting us in material pursuits, and to relatives who are pressuring us to miss meetings for family events."
(Mind you I heard nothing about DF'd relatives)

Well, what I got from that part when I heard it. It had a brief demo of a JW who responded to his non JW mom who requested that he miss his meetings for help in preparing for a family gathering. It showed a wrong way of refusing to attend the meeting, and the right way. I don't remember the word DF ever being mentioned in this part. This was the first assembly in fact that we haven't heard DF mentioned in the whole three days. What we got from that part is to show respect for your unbelieving relatives. To not cut them off, but to accomodate them without compromising your Christian obligations. What my wife and I thought is that maybe there is a softer stand to be taken in the future towards family members that are perhaps DF'd, but that is speculation on my part to say this. I'd be interested in other comments who heard that talk. It was on Friday afternoon in the sympsium called, "Family Ties".

new york city gives religious buildings water exemptions if the building is entirely used for religious purposes and if there is a caretaker's apartment, there can be only one.
that assembly hall had 2. the water dept denied their application for exemption on that basis.
Well, either way, the WT is not the one that is going to pay that bill. The monthly pledges just went up in New York
i'm pretty sure it is, just wanted to confirm.
this would be someone who went once and only looked....
Sparrowdown....that's too funny.
But, seriously, if it is Business Territory, your OK. If you are in a Gay Bar, that's Brazen conduct.
if it can be proved that someone has been brainwashed,conditioned mentally,pychologically,emotionally and spiritually can a person successfully sue an individual or organization.
after all it is a form of abuse.
You can't Sue an Organisation, but you can put Sue in an Organisation.
