Its exactly the opposite here. They expect you at every meeting right away. If you dont, it will just take that much longer to get reinstated!

How long do the elders expect a DF'd person to wait before coming back?
by JH inwhen i attended meetings years ago, if a brother or sister got df'd they weren't supposed to come back to their meetings right away even if they wanted to repent..... if i remeber well, you had to stay away from the meetings for a few months and them come back if you wished, as if to show that you made changes in your lifestyle and then decided to come back.. if you were disfellowshipped and went back to the meetings right after, it was a sign that you didn't understand what happened to you and you weren't trying to fix what you did wrong.. .
maybe it was different in other congregations..

ex-nj-jw.............just admit it..you had no reason to be scared of a 300 lb teddybear, whispering sweet nothings to you!
I would have dont the same as you. And If they are waiting for the teller, they SHOULD be in line. You dont know if they are waiting for someone else, or what the heck they are doing in their car.
The same thing happened to me........i got out, stood in line, and a guy that was in his car got out (didnt say anything) and stood right next to me, and jumped in front of me when the guy was done with the teller. Some people are just rude.......

Can you choose which elders you wish to deal with ?
by JH inlets say that there are 4 elders in your congregation, and you don't like 1 of them, don't trust another one, but like the 2 other ones for some reason.
now lets say that the elders you don't like that much come over and want to speak to you, would they respect you if you said, "i prefer to talk to the 2 other elders instead".
i get along with them better than you guys.. i compare this to a store.
