In my other thread an excellent question was asked:
What I wonder is: can they disfellowship me for stopping the attendance immediately after my reinstatement? What could they do, apart from being a terrible nuisance?
Some ex-JW choose to get reinstated so that they can have some certain family ties, and then just function with a low profile and then fade away ... but officially stay a JW for family sake. While I was still a JW and Elder this issue was discussed with respect to knowing if the decision to "reinstate" was the correct one. That is: Is the person really repentant, or are they just trying to escape the effects of being DF'd. Here is what our body of Elders concluded, and what another Body of Elders concluded when I asked them the same question:
Yes, the Elders "can" re-Disfellowship a person who stops attending Meetings and failing to go out in Service shortly after reinstatment. The reason is that they can say that the reinstated person is "lacking works that befit repentance."
So, were I to try this approach to gain fellowship with my family, then after reinstatement I would attend Meetings for a while, and go out in Service once or twice a month for a few months ... and turn in time ... then in about 6 months start the slow fading process. The Elders in every congregation will not necessarily re-Disfellowship for "lack of works that befit repentance," but you never know ... and it is not worth all the trouble to be reinstated only to be tossed out again in a couple of months.
