i am looking for the reinstatement guidelines for someone who has been actively trying to get reinstated for 2 years and have put in a reinstatement letter 3x in those two years but was denied everytime.

are the elders just making an example of them, have they permenately been kicked out, or maybe these people dont want to come back and this story is part of their fade.. .

has anyone ever heard of people not getting reinstated.

My very close friend several yrs ago got a technically unscriptural divorce (there was an emotional/minor physical relationship involved to cause it) and later eloped with a pioneer brother from a different state. They were immediately df'd and told there was no reinstatement possible until her ex husband remarried. That took 3 years and her sobbing thru every meeting. The elders told her they were committing adultery for their whole marriage while her ex was unmarried. Apparently their intimacy did not ever break the former marital bond.

We lived there for a year. Ironically I have never had that morbid fear of demons. Not sure what causes so called paranormal activity but I am not particularly worried about it. Besides in a jaw's eyes I am from the devil myself and "mentally diseased" lol

Many years ago I lived in a small house rented from the estate of an elderly sister who was receiving inpatient treatment for a severe mental disorder. I experienced many strange things in the year I lived there. I always felt as though someone was in the room and was never comfortable sitting in a chair that was not against a wall. My dog (and subsequent dogs of future owners) had severe anxiety in the house and destroyed woodwork trying to get out, a problem that miraculously resolved the instant we moved. My husband was an MS at the time and kept having problems with a paint like substance on his suits that could not be removed. When we moved he was going to just throw them away and poof. The paint was gone in the new house. Don't know exactly what was going on but it was rather peculiar.

When do you think there will be a revised "Reasoning Book"

by Amelia Ashton in

because i was abroad we had to use the original revelation book and only the reader had the new improved version so i don't know if this was the same else where but following along using the old version made the adjustments seem even more ludicrous.. why didn't they ensure everyone had the new version before studying it rather than highlight all the "adjustments" that had to be made in a km and therefore making them more obvious?.

do you think there could be a list of amendments to be inserted into the reasoning book in the same way?.

I too remember studying it when my dad was the conductor at a specific house for the book study cuz my dad always wanted me to be prepared to answer the questions about the eastern religions...I am confused lol

Publishers Need A Background Check Before Moving To My Kingdom Hall.

background check first.. .

I have know a couple of aunt Connie's thru the years. Those persons have ended up bitter and alone, left to wallow in their own misery. Hopefully she can find strength within to free herself from her self imposed torment.
