My advice for you to get reinstated is to tell the elders how it is your heartfelt desire to be back in peace with Jehovah.. and thst you keep praying to him to allow you back into the cong so that you can serve him again fully and get back in peace with him. Express this as your main motivation behind your desire to be reinstated. DONT tell them you just want to have your family back as the main reason (it is your reason but no need to tell the elders this ;-). The elders may interpret it in such a way as that you lack spiritualiy (TM).
Like this you may speed up the reinstation process.
Ill keep all fingers and toes crossed for you.. xxx

is there anyone in here who has converted to Islam or who may consider it? My husband is a muslim and I would like to speak with folks who understand this religion. I didn't start a new thread hence just pushing up an old one. Hope that's ok... Please no attacks or outcries how mad I am to learn about this religion/to be married with a muslim. Peace Salam

I put my doubts down on myself. Whenever I doubted I thought I wasn't spiritual enough. At conventions I believed I was the only one who couldn't apply all these rules.. I wasn't even willing .. and felt soo guilty about it
I spent lots of months aux pioneering and was wwaiting for this so called 'joy' but always hated the door to door ministry.
