    Last night at meeting was the 2nd part to that rather odious KM article on shunning disfellowshipped family members. I guess the Society can't take any chances in light of Dateline, etc.

    Well, one of the paragraphs dealt with how you'd handle a disfellowshipped child who lives outside the home. The Society pretty much ordered Witnesses not to take in their children unless they're dying or something, as they would bring in "leaven" into the house. The brother handling the part gave an example of how you should deal with your child.

    He said that there was a brother who "extended kindness" to his dissfellowshipped son who had fallen ill with pneumonia. Due to the nature of the illness, naturally the child was bed ridden most of the time and sleeping. However, one day the father came home and noticed that his son "had his feet up watching TV". The father immediately demanded that his son vacate the home in the next couple days, as his son's being up and watching TV was clearly a sign that he had recovered from his pneumonia and he should be on his way out. He didn't want his son to think that "things had changed" and everything was "normal like it was before" just because he had taken him in to recover from an illness. Such a harsh, and possibly falacious reaction (maybe the child was just bored of being in his room all the time) is certainly what you would expect from a "loving arrangement from Jehovah".

    This new stuff on df'ing hits a nerve allright. I am not df'd, just have faded away, but my ex would like to try to nail me on something, and then tell our child that he cannot talk to me. She is already trying to find ways. Obviously I do not have custody. Df'ing does nothing to gain it's ultimate goal. It destroys families, and much more. It could be devestating for someone who has invested time and life to this.

    I read the stuff about how to handle a d'fd child when it was first posted on the net a few weeks back. It's absolutely shameful of the Society to dish out such guidelines. It's obvious that most of the people making up this crap don't have children. This advice is totally off the planet. Most self respecting teenagers would rather live out of garbage tins rather than subject themselfs to ranting lunatic parents who don't allow them to watch tv while they recover from illness. Actually any mother who has given birth and doesn't feel extreme anxiety about her child being fully recovered from pnemonia is clearly demented. This section of the KM is a clear demonstration of what truly warped and irresponsible people JWs are. Absolutely disgusting - SHAME ON THEM. I can't believe that parents sit there and accept this stuff as normal. Of course a Witness will argue that their kids disfellowshipping behavior was not normal - but then one should point out that Jesus was 29 when he was baptised - so why are JWs baptising kids who are so vulnerable still?

    ...right...so the moral of the story is: Make sure that if your child comes to you for help...on terms of DEATH...you extend such "kindness" HOWEVER it's perfectly okay...if he's homeless and dies on the streets because he didnt' coem to you for help. p.s. praise the watchtower!" what a load of horse CRAP tehe... FS p.s. eat hacky snacks
