could anyone tell me what the policy is when a dfed person wants reinstatement?
are they questioned about their behavior while dfed or does that have any relevance since they were outside wts policy during that time?.

If I were to grant that everything you say is a fact, then, yes I could agree with you. Is there not some possibility that your 'facts' are wrong?
I'm not saying there haven't been true cases of molestation. There are terrible things happening to many people; we all know that. I ever favour the words of any victim but in reality there must be proof.
Gotta run ... will resume tomorrow ... northern girl.

WOW ... Sounds like you had a wonderful grand dad. That is exactly the way I feel about my mother. Now you see why I miss her so much and how deeply felt the promise of seeing her again is to me.
When I say 'armed' I mean with as much knowledge as I can get.
Why don't we put the blame in the proper place as far as pedophiles belongs. That obnoxious behaviour does not originate with Jehovah. I think we all know where it does originate. It is a subject that I do not have a lot of knowledge about but any victim has my complete sympathy.

I had an answer all typed to you and pushed a wrong button and lost it all, so here goes again. ( I originally typed in your whole name too ).
I am here because it is a place where I can say anything I want about anything. The friends I have now (nonwitnesses), are wonderful people but we can't have real deep conversations because we do not share a common background.
Never suppose that my beliefs are anything but bible-based. It is because of this common thread that I want all my old friends back. We share the same thoughts and values. The reason I've not had a happy day since being df'd is that I am away from the freinds that I believe have Jehovahs blessing.
You may be right about my trusting anyone these days. All I wanted from this board is an answer from elders or ex's about what to expect when trying to get reinstated. The ones who answered me have been very kind and helpfull. Who else would I go to for answers? I'd rather be a little bit armed when I face the committee ... and this way I will be.
If I'm asked about my doings while df'd I won't lie but I won't offer anything that isn't asked either. This is not fudging ... it is being self protective.

I hear you ... I really do.
My past hasn't been 'a bowl of cherries either'. The one stable thing I had was my belief in god. It was my own doing that destroyed that relationship so no one else can take responsibility but me.
I know where you are coming from about owning your own foundations ... you are right ... no one can take that away from you. My foundation happens to be my belief and no one can take that away from me.
It is obvious that you mean well and I will remember your words. I was not rejected by Jehovah; remember I left him? It is only my doing that I am where I am today.

In the right conditions it will be good for everyone to agree on the main things in life. Diversity is a good thing too ... how do you pronounce tomato?

I'm here because this is an open and free discussion format that I have as much right to as you or anyone else. While my thoughts are not main-stream here, it would be a dull world if everbody thought the same thing.

I suppose a lot of what keeps me hanging in there is 'faith' ... sure expectation of things hoped for. I'm basing my belief in the past fulfillment of promises; Jesus' resurection ... the signs of the last days.
Also, I have never had a completely happy day since being df'd. My mother was a witness and she was also my best friend, so when she died, it's like I lost it all. You might think I don't need any org. to hope to see her again but the belief of the society was her belief too.
To top it all off ( hope you weren't expecting lots of scriptures ), the best and truest friends I've ever had are witnesses and I want them back.

Andy: Meant to say so before ... your new moniker is soooo .... YOU.
Again you have not got the point! I have not witnessed while smoking. I haven't smoked in two years.
Being in contact with apostates ... do you admit to being one?
Ten years of their shunning would be a treat compared to any conversation with you.
You seem to think you are a wealth of information about not getting back in ... did you really try that hard and still got rejected?
sorry ... northern girl.

Nosferatu:
Yes, I knew smoking would get me df'd. At the time I was in an abusive relationship which clouded (no pun intended) my reasoning. I allowed myself to turn to instant gratification instead of facing my problems head-on.
The thing that really got me thinking about going 'back' was the hope of seeing my (dearly departed mother) again in the new system. That may sound selfish but it is a hope that carries me through each day. Also the hope that all suffering will be gone ... I've yet to get this hope anywhere else.

If I understand your question, you want to know why I still believe that the JWs is the true religion. I don't feel any different now than when I was IN; I've always felt it is the true one.
My being df'd was expected on my part as a consequence of allowing myself to become addicted to nicotine (can't slave for two masters).
