Wondering whether to invite my JW mum to my son's Bday party

    Sounds like you are on top of things.

    Just a word of warning, though.

    From time to time, the Watchtower publishes articles that change overnight how JWs look at things and behave.

    For example, if they come out with an article saying that JWs whose children aren't believers have an obligation to aggressively witness to their grandchildren, your parents could be expected to change immediately.

    It wouldn't even have to be that specific.

    If the WT starts saying that Armageddon is so close that JWs need to abandon any passive "win them without a word" strategies, that would likely trigger an immediate change as well.

    Your awareness of the dangers is a big plus for your kids.

    Stay vigilant.

    Very true Ding. I still read the Watchtower, especially the JW only edition, and I rely on this board a lot to give me a heads up about issues coming up. It is a great place Helps me to know if theres a paticular time to keep my mouth shut, and when I can possibly say something that might make them think before they get a certain magazine we have already read!

    I don't know that I'm on top of things but I have decided not to tell her about the party this year. But I'm not going to be asking him not to tell her either. Hopefully he won't mention it to his cousins
