:mad: People get DF’d and sometimes for unjust reasons, but when they need to be DF’d, they don’t!

I’m so mad right now. My DH got up early this morning to go to the Sunday meeting :mad: 😦 . He hasn’t gone in a long time, so of course he’s going to be the talk of the congregation this morning.

Ravyn, do you happen to know how long it takes for a JW to be considered inactive, and how long does it take for that inactive member to be DF’d?

Yessi, I don’t know that you get DFd just for being inactive. I think it must be made known that you have “sinned”. Back in the day, when I was a child, your DH would have been DFd for going to the Catholic Marriage Retreat. I have no idea if they would do that now if he says he did not go to Mass. I know when you are coming back to the Org that it means you have been active for 6 months to a year. And active means not just going to meeetings it means going in service and maintaining the time average for 6 months. The average for most of my life was 10 hours a month. I don’t know that they are still that strict considering the losing numbers today. I know they have reduced the time requirement for pioneers since I left.
sorry I dont know more. ask Steve. (muahahahaaha! :eek: )

Hi Ravyn, thanks for answering my question. Well, DH has never told anyone, but my family, that we are going to the Catholic Marriage program. If they found out, they’d tell him to stop or else, I’m pretty sure of that. I know the min hrs are 12-16, or at least that was what was required last yr at his congregation. Thank God DH hasn’t been active since he was reinstated. I knew that if I got my hope up, he’d go back to them, and there, it happened.

BTW, I PMd you.

I am currently on my way out and want to become Catholic. I have been married 12 years. Can some one tell me what the Marriage program is?

It’s for troubled marriages. It’s called Retrouvaille. www.retrouvaille.org

I don’t know if this is the type of marriage program you’d need. But congrats on your way out and into the Catholic Church!!!
