back in the early 70's there was a brother, well known in the circuit did the no no with.
a few of the young sisters in the congregation.
he was df and the word, he would never be.
Finkeistein: I agree on the variables. A well like elder walks away or DF, he goes off
and does his own thing. Years later he return the brothers welcome him back with open arms.
I believe the difference a person(not an elder) who have been df and seeking repentance by attending all
meetings, sitting in the back and shunned it's a good thing for the rf. But someone who walked away,
never attended any meetings and years later show up (elder), yes he will be reinstated quickly.

Brother was a professional football player before becoming a JW. He was df for adultery,
df and reinstated within two years and soon after an elder.
I have been out since 1987, my brother an elder told me I could be reinstated in six months.
I guess it much easier to be re instated if you have family members who are elders.

so i'm back from the store walking to my apartment, over a hundred units in the complex - all jws and ex-jws - and i see someone talking to an ex-jw neighbor of mine.
she turns around and says "now there's some else i have to apologize to".. she identified herself as an old neighbor who used to play as a jw child right by my place.
she had told me how she was raised to consider me and all the ex-jws in the apartment complex as evil and thought she had to apologize for that.. made my day.
I apologized my best friend before I became a door knocker, he ask me to be his best man in
his wedding.I also apologized to my non-JW family members, I was a know it all and they knew nothing
about the bible. I apologized to my sons for almost destroying their life.
Apologies are good if you were a jerk.

a elder in this system. Of course this was before 1975.
Today I know of two brothers that was df for the same thing(adultery) and within two years they were
df and reappointed as elders.
hey ya'll!
i have been lurking for years on this site and others but never had the courage to post anything.
actually i was afraid of posting on an apostate site in the event i was wrong.
Ok, so how can one be appointed an Elder with a unbelieving mate? I knew a brother that
was appointed a elder and his wife was a very faithful church member.
