They talk to their local elders about being reinstated. The elders will designate a committee of their number to speak with the disfellowshipped person to see if he is truly repentant of the sin he committed, but was not repentant when he met the judicial committee that disfellowshipped him in the first place. If he is in a new congregation from the one where he was disfellowshipped, and the committee in the new congregation conclude that he deeply regrets his past sin, has ceased to practice it, is grieved not just at having lost association with other Witnesses but really regrets the pain he caused Jehovah God, the new committee will send a letter giving their recommendation to the elders of the congregation where he was disfellowshipped, who will then make the decision to reinstate the disfellowshipped person or not.
The reason for this is that the original congregation discovered the sin and may have seen a pattern of lying to cover up the wrongdoing. The new committee did not see the wrongdoer when he was not repentant, and so cannot evaluate the contrast as well as the elders in the original congregation.
No letter has to be written to the Governing Body of Jehovah's Witnesses to be reinstated.
Yes, of course they can. The bible says that one must care for their family. Just because they are disfellowshipped doesn't mean their children can't have anything to do with them. However, some children of the disfellowshipped person limit the time they spend with their parents in case they get persuaded to leave the congregation.
As a Jehovahs Witness, I can inform you that Jehovahs Witnesses as a group do not have any birthing rituals.
No he is not.
When you are disfellowshipped you obviously did something wrong. But we, Jehovahs Witnesses can't Help you become reinstated because when you do something wrong that's between you and Jehovah. Let's say someone was smoking. Jehovah knows it and the fact that you know it's bad and he hates it, tares the relationship apart. It's up to you to pray to Jehovah and beg for forgiveness.

Yes, flowers can be sent to Jehovahs Wittnesses funerals.
A disfellowshipped member is reinstated when they show repentance for whatever wrongdoing they formerly were involved in...and they have discontinued involvement in a wrong/immoral/improper action which is either physical or spiritual in nature. Additionally they would have shown an interest in pure worship again by attending meetings consistently over a period of time Reinstatement has nothing to do with marrying an active member, but has to do with ones personal relationship with God by showing evidence of repentance.
It doesnt matter what you did before you become a Jehovahs Witness. Anyone can be accepted no mater what their background. But, in order to become and be a good Jehovahs Witness you can not continue to smoke and do drugs.
To the best of my knowledge, no he is not.
