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.
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.

it occurred to me today, that so often, my mother will make the comment that .
"those false religions teach that everyone is going to heaven when they die, oh sure, .
all you have to do is be a good person, and off you go to heaven.
"Inhabited by righteous people". Put a designer label on some clothes, and million of people
will pay insane prices for them. It's all in the name. Group identities are no different. Embracing
them makes you feel special. Out of all the possible forms of group identity, none are as strong as religion.
JW's are at the top of the list, we will live forever but you folks will be toasted. We are special and we
have special knowledge, heaven would suck for those who are not called. JW view of heaven is
not that appealing.
