If it were my child, I wouldn't let them go. Never. But, that's me. I wouldn't give them the satisfaction of having them there.
But..........on the other hand, if you need the break..............I would be the first to say to do it. My kids (when young) were always in bed by 7 on non meeting nights, so I can't imagine her taking him. Meetings were hell when they were little, like that.
he's YOUR son! jesus.
she can see him whenever she wants, why does it have to be during a cult meeting??
I say "A"
sorry, double post

Option D
You could give him plenty of red cordial, chocolate - hey, even a laxative, take him for a barefoot walk on some wet grass, and then tell your mom "He's ready mom!".
She'll bring him back after her and the elders think he must have a daemon.
Do it a couple of times and your worries will be over before he's old enough to remember - in his childlike memory, they'll just be the people who hate him.
I'm not kidding - make her life hell at that meeting - your son will get over that after a sleep - but how long will he take to get over jwism.

--yes, JT, it was a trick question.

That is what i thought, cause i can't believe anyone who knows anything about jw would even allow thier child to step foot across the sill of a hall.
it has nothing to do with how late the meetings are, it has to do with what and who he will be exposed to
every single person becomes a jw a little bit at a time, the mere fact that she wants to be bothered with a 2 yr old at a meeting were he has to sit quiet for 2 hours should be a flag
whether you want to accept it or not, your mom hopes that at least he will become a servant of jah
they hear all the exp at the conventions of folks who later became jw after attending a meeting as a child
not saying that will happen to your son, but you can bet this month house note that is what she is hoping
jw are always hearing of folks DROPPING SEED OF TRUTH and later it grows
i can see your mom now , introducting him to all THE LITTLE KIDS and the next thing you will know is he want MY BOOK OF BIBLE STORIES OR he wants to see his little friend he met.
let's put the shoe on the other foot, HOW MANY JW WOULD ALLOW SOMEONE TO TAKE THIER CHILD TO A CHURCH
i rest my case
she can see him whenever she wants, why does it have to be during a cult meeting??

excellent point, the mere fact she wants to take him NOT ON HER OFF NIGHT where she can spend quality time with her grand child but on a night where SHE IS G0ING TO WORK going to any jw meeting is like going to a job for wt.inc, who takes a child on the job with themONLY JW
SEE IF she would keep him on her OFF NIGHTS instead of her meeting night, she will spend NO QUALITY TIME in fact the little fellow will not even be able to talk to her if he can just LOTS OF BE QUIET AND SIT DOWN

You my friend gets the "Damn FOOL" award SMILE
I LOVE IT- this post is just so funny my wife and I are here falling out
we love it, thanks you hit the nail on the head
the elders will tell her never to bring that untrained child back- i would love to see the faces of the folks in the hall
GREAT POST
Come to think of it, every single one who has a problem with that stuff - feed em up before they go!
I think your mom is using this as an excuse to make you feel guilty in order that she can take him. My mother does the same things, YOU WILL HAVE TO TAKE A STAND SOONER OR LATER, BEST TIME IS NOW, while your child is still young and explain to her you want a relationship with her and you want her, in return to have one with your child but munipulation is not the best way to handle things and that you are family and should act as such and as a parent she will need to RESPECT YOUR WISHES. Be wise about this, your child does not need to be in what you once were.
