Welcome, good to hear your story.
My aunty was caught gambling after her baptism. She claimed she did not know it was wrong, so they annulled her baptism and let her get baptised again. They have no idea what they are doing, because none of this sort of regulation appears in the bible, in fact the word disfellowship does not even appear in the Bible.
JWfacts, how long ago was your aunt's 1st baptism annuled?
That was in the 1070's. I know of two other more recent cases as well, from the 90's. One lady was certified insane and continued fornicating after baptism, so they annulled it and let her leave.
If things have changed recently I imagine it is for legal reasons. I wrote to Bethel 2 years ago to have my baptism annulled, on the basis of being a minor, hence making it illegal to force me into a life long binding legal contract. Rather than address my point, they said that it could not be annulled due to entering other contracts when no longer a minor, such as by becoming a pioneer.
Hi and welcome, glad you're here. And, hey now, be patient with the spateful indiscreet knave, you know, the fds don't ya know. They're just making up the rules as they go along and calling it new light. . .as someone wise once said here, 'The 'New Lights' are on but nobody's home.' LOL
We were all stoned the entire time we were witlesses. Had to have been.

That's weird, because when I got baptized in "72" I was told not to expect any special feelings or anything special...you will get wet, get dried off, and be a brother. That, was that.
