    It has happened somewhere I know. What is it and what does it mean

    Is it possible that's just an odd, local way of saying "XYZ has been reinstated as a Jehovah's Witness"?

    The way your statement sounds ALMOST sounds as if they would be admitting making a mistake in DFing someone, and that seems highly unlikely.

    No cant be a local way of saying, this I am certain of

    BTW this happens just 2 months into the DF announcement

    annul, countermand, lift, overturn, repeal, reverse, revoke, vacate.

    The meaning of the word rescind.

    Its another way of saying we made a mistake when we DF him/her without actually saying it .

    I didn`t mean to insinuate you didn`t know the meaning of the word rescind my friend ,however it took them 2 months to realise they had made a mistake ?

    Obviously the Holy Spirit was not on those 3 Elders during the Judicial Committee meeting.

    I wonder if it is an official watchtower phrase ?

    The only way to get reinstated is repentance BUT very occasionally you can get their chucking you out overturned.

    Who in their right mind would want that though?
