If I would ever go back.
And the answer is only if changes were made.
But if those changes were made, then I wouldn't be going back to the 2x2 fellowship. Since those changes would forever CHANGE the 2x2 fellowship into something it is not.
So the answer is no, because I can never go back to what it is. For that my friend would be death to my soul.

Remember the warning to Lot. "Flee...and don't look back."

2x2ism can only change in small ways without losing the integrity of it's basic teachings. It is true that if it changed too much...it would cease to be what it has been, and still is.

integrity,
The scriptures talk about growing in knowledge. We've always had the Holy Spirit present in our church. And He's the one who guide us into all truth.
So why shouldn't we grow, and change, in accordance with whatever new truths (and knowledge) He shows us?
And as to change itself, I don't think any 2 x 2 wants to see our church change very much. We like what we have....and want to keep most of it, just as it is.
Change happens. Whatever was essential will stay: and whatever isn't will fade away, and some new knowledge will take its place. That's life. And that's the way it is in all living organisms...which makes up our church.

How do you define the Holy Spirit? Is it a force or is it a person?

Ithascome,
A person. A "He". And also "a force"--as a power to motivate or move an individual , spiritually, to accomplish His will. (At least, that's how I'd describe Him)

CAN YOU SEE A SPIRIT?
WELL SOME CLAIM THEY DO.
A SPIRIT IS LIKE THE WIND. YOU CANNOT SEE THE WIND BUT YOU CAN FEEL ITS EFFECT.

So are you saying that all in the 2x2 fellowship are destined to be lost because by staying they will know death to their souls also? You sound a lot like those in the F&W fellowship who say the opposite.

How do you define the Holy Spirit? Is it a force or is it a person? How can a spirit have a literal body?
