What would be just enough so they can guard themselves as they grow up?

2. experiences
i wasn't sure which topic to ask this question under.

three days ago my very first grandbaby, a boy was born.

so i still have time to think about stuff, and not royally screw up things.

So i have a question about this, and contrary to what some may tell you im not trying to be rude, however the question is relevant:
why?
Why is the only question that matters, and on several fronts...
For one thing, having an end result in mind makes it easier to establish a plan to get here. So whats your goal...? Is it to warn him away from the jw’s? Is it teach him christianity? His mother is atheist and his father sounds like he is non practicing of any specific faith as are you and your husband, so why teach him any christianity?
If its to warn him away from the jw’s why do you need to teach him christianity to do that? There are other just as effective ways and those methods could apply to a lot of high control groups or cults, not just jw’s.
Also, why is this your job? He has a mother and a father. That sounds like their job. His mother (as noted earlier) is an atheist, does she want this basic christian education? Does his father? Have they talked about it between themselves as his parents?
Theres a few more questions but in the end, not to put too fine a point on it, why does this fall to you?

Abuse victim's mother burst into Kingdom Hall, publicly accusing him of being a paedophile...

one of their mothers burst into the jehovah's witness church in swansea and publicly accused him of being a paedophile only to receive a letter from solicitors warning her not to harass.

judge geraint walters...described collins as a "devious, arrogant and self-righteous man" who had lived behind veil of respectability partly through his contact with the jehovah's witness church.

Normally i detest ignorant asshats who storm KH’s for their own selfish ends... this aint that. I applaud a mother doing whatever she has to do to draw attention to this pedo. She also deserved the warning to cease, but hopefully she got the message accross.

2. bible
would love to read this book one day and give it to my mum and brother who are both in the organisation.. so many people i see on videos claim that this book was the nail in the coffin.

but do you know anyone where it had no effect on them?.

Its a very good read. The depiction of the gb and bethel life is spot on.

New releases at annual meeting??
by _Morpheus in
1. watchtower
2. beliefs
this has been mentioned in passing but it seems to deserve its own thread.. this year at the rc, no releases.

instead they wait to drop them at the annual meeting which isnt a even simulcast event.

what is their thinking?
_Morpheus

I did suggest back on pge two I think that the annual meeting they have more control over who is invited than the RCs I thought that was reasonable logic.
the problem with that train of thought is that new releases are available for everyone immediately for download. What difference does it make who is sitting in the audience when they announce it?
Plus if I wanted to insult you Morpheus I'm sure I could rustle up something better than that equating your thoughts to one of SBF's. Lololol😃
no. You could not.

Wow, i had seen craftsman in lowes stores but didnt realize they had sold it off to black and decker. Stupid move. That was a cash cow.... and i wouldnt trust black and decker to keep the quality of craftsman.

@onegen- they haven't officially filed but it is fait accompli.. the stock opened at a record low and they have begun talks with the necessary banks, its just a matter of waiting for the ink to dry.
its amazing to me that walmart and target are doing well but sears, with so much head start and brand power, couldnt change enough. They had the craftsman brand going for them and kenmore. They could have thrived had they been more willing to change.
