where do you draw the line ?
by lancelink inlast night i was talking to my son (24 years old) and he was telling me about his life growing up as a jw, .
very frustrating for him, he couldn't have friends from school over, no joining clubs, sports, etc - etc.. but a very interesting point was made, and i never thought about it and it has been rolling around all day.
as morphius said.

Answers to reinstatement questions
by WTWizard infirst of all, to anyone interested in reinstatement (in response to a couple of threads about the subject, and for anyone that wants to see their family again), there is no formal letter to write.
rather, you will have to submit a request to the hounders that disfellowshipped you in the first place.
chances are good that they will reject that appeal.. some time later, you will have to submit another request for a reinstatement hearing.

Is there encouragement and hope for the disfellowshipped?
by Butterflyleia85 ini am 24 years old i was disfellowshipped at 21 and reinstated last year january then committed a sin and disfellowshipped again five months later.. i don't think i realized what i got into.
i tried hard to fend for myself and get back in, the pressure got to me and i fell out again.
but since i understood what it entailed i fought hard to stay in.
