Hi All!!!!! I hope everyone is doing well.
Is there anyone out there well-versed in the 'shepherd' book and judicial proceedings?
A wee bit o' background....
I have been 'out' for about 3 years now. I was in the (quite lucky for me) position of moving to another state and doing a full 'fade' as I left. I don't even know where my records are, to tell the truth. I don't speak with any witnesses and make no claims to be a jw.
The only witnesses I speak with now are my folks. They recently learned of my 'unchristian' ways and are pressuring me to speak with the local congregation to (as far as I can understand) have them df me so my folks will know whether or not they can talk to me now. They want to have a relationship, but are confused by their 'love of the one true god'. (ACK!)
In my situation, can anyone disfellowship me if I have no contact with them? Can they df you if you don't go to the judicial meeting? Can I just not ever call the local kh to talk to the elders and live out my life in this loophole?
Curious what y'all know....
Thanks for the help! :)
