My mom to my daughter: "BD party might be fun but it will make Jah sad"

SweetBabyCheezits

We've allow a little freedom for my JW mom to visit our daughter at lunch at the school since we're DF'd now. Why? Um, because we're idiots, maybe. (Welll.. me, not my wife.)

So my daughter tells me this evening that she was chatting with Mom at lunch today and mentioned a birthday party she's attending this weekend. I don't really care if my parents know this. But at some point, my mom tells her that "while it might please your friends, it's making Jehovah sad." Really?? Guilt trip on an 8 year old?

Okay, well, Mom, we've made attempts to compromise so you could see the kids but now we're revoking that right. You don't have permission to make my daughter feel guilty for attending a [EDIT] birthday party. Go guilt someone else's kid, k?

"But Grandma - What makes Jehovah more sad - little kids going to a birthday party, or parents who don't talk to their children?"

Sweets, the unconditional love you have for your mom allowed you to make the choice for her to see your child, don't beat yourself up

now that you see where her loyality lies, and the possible harm those visits can do to your childs mentallity cut lose, let it go,

no young child should be burdened with guilt of any kind that's mental abuse, you may need to reassure your child so she won't

feel bad at the party by remembering what your mom said

anyway, hope everything goes better now.

Immunise your children.

Actively teach them critical thinking skills. There is no point in isolating them from JWs just to lose them to the Moonies.

I hope two things in this case. First, I hope you were able to ease your child's mind. Second I hope you let your mother know exactly why her visits with your kids have been revoked. I wonder what her reaction would be to visits supervised by you and your wife.

The Name Jehovah..

Is a 14th Century,Catholic Translation mistake..

There is "no" Jehovah..

There may be a God..But..There is "no" Jehovah..

When Jesus was Born..The Angels "Rejoiced"..

"Celebrated"..

If Angels can Celebrate a Birthday..I doubt God has a Problem with it..

I quit!

it's making Jehovah sad

Poor little guy. Some children are having a party for another child's special day and Jehovah is feeling sad because this kid is getting more attention than him. Do Jehovah's Witnesses really think this whiney self-centered little cry baby is the right guy to be running the universe?
