REGARDING SUMMER CONVENTIONS:
Brothers and Sisters, please remember to engage the apostates standing outside the convention hall with bullhorns, in coversation. We are totally 100% correct in our teachings, so you have nothing to fear by talking to them!

i believe i became an unbaptized publisher at 7 or 8, and actually did my first "parentless" preaching in downtown portland, at about 11 or 12 years old, with a close friend of mine (who i havent talked to or a few months now) I think the official position is 16 or 18.

disfellowshipping children
by QCA1 inawhiile back i posted telling you about my grandson whos mother hit him for not saying grace before a meal ( he is 15yrs old ) he has been hit on many occasions,he hates being a witness and is forced to go to the hall by his mother.
my grandson phoned us on the day his mother had hit him,he was sobbing down the phone to us and said he wanted to come and stay with us, i said yes and that i would fetch him, anyway his mum and dad have had nothing to do with me since despite me writing to them expressing how much i love my grandchildren and that i wish to see them,i have had no reply.. the other day my grandson phoned and said to my younger son that he is leaving home when he is 16 and can he come and stay with us,of course i said yes.
what i need to know is will he be disfellowshipped for living with his grandma ( i am not a jw ) of course i know what this will mean for him,his brothers and parents will shun him.. as for me what else can i do to see my grandchildren.

Sounds like the mother is a control freak. I can't say i was in the same situation, because i wasn't, but I will try and think about what people told me back then.
There are resources that can be used if the mother is hitting the child, and (this is a big one) if those hits leave marks. Without marks, no proof of hitting is there, and those resources are split nearly in half. I like the idea that you are going to let him stay with you, and I am going to assume you have already thought of all the misc. costs of such a compasionate course of action.
There are different laws depending on state (in ths US) covering custody rights when a child involved is suffering from trauma (emotional, physical, mental, ect..) In most cases, the child is evaluated, and a judge will decide whether or not to allow the child to be moved to a new caretaker.
Something you may not of thought of is; is taking him away from his financial support so late in his life (only 2 years from being 18) benifical to him (sounds like it personally would be) -

I may not really have a choice. Hell i may talk to swalker about what his dentist's name was that did the work he talked about. A good reccomendation is always a good thing. Im going to be in debt for this, no doubt. Anyone have ideas on financing?
