Hello Sue and welcome!
Even if you are reinstated, you will still have the stigma of being a divorced, single sister. I was born and raised in this organization. I understand the mindset. The worst person you can be in this organization is a divorced, single sister.

Did anyone really enjoy assemblies?
by SydBarrett inthe twickenham post made me think of this.
i have a few jw family members on facebook and being summertime, their pics of the convention have shown up in my fb feed.
along with their comments about "i wished it would never end" or "what a glorious weekend".

My Name is of No Consequence
When I was a kid, my favorite part of the assemblies/conventions was staying at the hotel and then lunchtime. When I got older, I liked being an attendant because it required me to be out of my seat and moving. Plus, everyone (including hot sisters) would see my attendant's badge.

My report from the "trying my patience" DC
by nowwhat? inembedded in the cleveland ohio convention.
pre covid attendance was always 7k+ this year 4500.. 37baptised mixed bag.
less then half were children.. as far as patience goes, it can certainly help you be a better person when dealing with others but needless to say, this having patience waiting for jehovah is pure b.s.!

Likes and Dislikes. How about making the identities known to the poster?
by nicolaou ini haven't a clue if it's technically feasible but i think if you're going to hit the dislike button on a post you should be open to discussion with the poster.. just your own topics and posts of course.
what do you think simon?.

Personally, I like the fact that posters have an open forum to disagree (or agree) with one another.

My old congregation is being shuttered
by RULES & REGULATIONS ini just found out from my jehovah's witness cousin that my old congregation is being shuttered due to lack of elders, less than 20 members attending, and that the congregation cannot meet their monthly expenses.. here is a congregation that was started in 1975 with less than 15 members.
it grew to 185 members in the 1990's.
the congregation grew so large that the elders decided to split the congregation in two.

The congregation that I grew up in consolidated into several other congregations a few years ago. This congregation could trace its roots back to the 1920's as it was one of the first ones out of Pittsburgh.

Older Ex-JW Attending Mass in Historic U.S. Basilicas
by TMS ini still remember the first time i commented on this board with nervous fingers barely able to press the keys.
what triggered my entry into the forbidden was the orchestrated disfellowshipping of my then 21 year old son.. well, he's now 51, with a supportive wife, two genius sons who will never see the inside of a kingdom hall.. my first wife of 49.5 years, loyal and supportive to a fault, passed away 5 years ago.. in 2019 i married a young filipina, 33 years my junior, a nominal catholic.
my life with her has simply been amazing and i treasure every moment.

Elder asks my disfellowshipped cousin to leave house while grieving for his grandmother
by RULES & REGULATIONS infourteen years ago i started a thread on how horrible my disfellowshipped cousin was treated after his mom passed away and the terrible actions on the part of the elders at the funeral home.. 67. horrible conduct by congregation elders at my cousin's funeral.............. well, here we are 14 years later, and things haven't changed!.
my aunt ( who is my disfellowshipped cousin's grandmother ) was placed in home hospice care.
the nurse told her daughters ( who are jehovah's witnesses and live with their mother ) that their mom probably has 2 days left to live and that they should call the immediate family.. my disfellowshipped cousin and his sister show up in the early morning.
