Holland and South Africa have opened up to full fellowhip for those in D&R situations...... at least this is what I heard. Does anyone have verification of this? Or any details?

Can't comment on the countries mentioned but can speak for Ireland... Haven't heard of anyone being accepted in Ireland (North and South) for fellowship with the sole exception as mentioned previously somewhere, of a rather odd Eastern European chap who has spent many years in Scotland and then moved to N. Ireland where he lives without his second or third wife. Forgotten which, but he is actively seeking a replacement and he has been permitted full participation rights. This is an unusual occurrence and probably tolerated because the situation was tolerated for many, many years in Scotland prior to his move to N. Ireland.
That said, a professing woman has been having an affair with a professing married man for the past 18 months or so and eventually the man stopped going to the meetings but the workers booted the woman so marital irregularities are not apparently tolerated in Ireland now any more than they've been in the past.

He is not currently married I am told, and will be excluded if he does remarry apparently.

What do you mean by "not currently married"? Living with a marriage partner. I'm not sure that means anything. What if someone is working say, abroad for weeks on end. In your view they are not currently married? This person is not divorced or legally separated. I'm told he even resides still in the marital home. Anyway, until such times there is a legal end to the marriage, he is technically married. And so long as he chooses to indulge in extra curricular activities with someone not legally his wife, he will not be deemed suitable for taking part in a meeting or partaking of the emblems. The thing is, he no longer attends the meetings as his choice. The workers didn't boot him. They did however have to boot the woman with whom he is engaged in extra curricular activities. It was said she didn't think she was doing anything wrong...

Sounds like his wife is well rid of him. He can take himself off and leave behind his wallet.

I don't know the full details of any of this, I'm just going by what I was told recently - (the person I don't think was fully aware of the details either) So ofcourse that is not what I mean.

September, it would appear to me that ex-teenager's first comment is regarding the chap you mention in your first paragraph, the East European ...
