Contact with family

amfree

I was just wondering if anyone knows the "official" word on JW's having contact with their non families. My husband's dad is an elder. We have never officially declared ourselves DA. Whenever he calls to see our boys he always wants to stop by our house, he doesn't invite us to his. Just wondering if he's not supposed to.

Some here say not to eat with unbelievers and wouldn't let their kids who had left come over for a meal..others are more lax. If you aren't offically DA/DF then I dont think there are an reprocussions for him..it may make him look weak unless he can show he is trying to do it to bring you back in the truth.

It's been so long I'm not sure what the official take on this is. Seem's some are more strict than others. your guess is as good as mine.

I wouldn't let a believing Witness within 100 miles of my kids, especially a Witness grandparent.

I did a slow fade about 15 years ago. My youngest son 4 years ago decides to be a dub and I haven't seen him hardly since. He lives a suburb away, never see him. He had an accident before Christmas and he put me on the form as his next of kin. He ex-friend (worldly) told me where he lived and I went to see him. He was OK on that visit, he had a broken leg, he could hardly throw me out, but on the next he didn't want to know. Next time any dubs come to the door I'm going to ask about the honoring mother and father thing. Doesn't that apply, obviously not, if you're df, da, or slow fade! rose petal
