I just found the boards the other day but I have been researching their religion/cult since me and my wife got married. My wife is still upset about the way her parents are treating her, she had been seeing them on occation (picking up/ dropping off the kids). I think now that now that we are forcing them to either stop shunning her or lose the privillages of their grandchild it will help my wife. Either they will stop the shunning or they will allow my wife to get some closure.

Adoption and shunning
by Bigbro inmy wife was adopted and raised in a jw family, at a young age she made the mistake of being baptized.
as a teenager she was disfellowshiped only to be reinstated.
we met in collage and hit it off, and after dating (which her parents didnt know about) we decided to get married.

Thanks for the support, I have no doubt that this is for the best. The only thing that is irritating is that my inlaws act like Im punishing them. I simply told them that it was their chose to shun their adopted daughter, and because of their decision they are going to miss out on their grandchildrens lives.

We met in collage and hit it off, and after dating (which her parents didnt know about) we decided to get married. Her parents refused to attend our wedding because of the fact that I was not JW. After the wedding she was disfellowshiped, not that she cared, she didnt want to be JW any more anyway. Her parents told me that they would have to shun her. I was pretty upset considering that she was adopted and she already had a since of rejection from her birth mother.
Her father is an elder in their kingdom hall and is irrational to speak with. I had been letting our daughter spend time over at their house with the promise that they would not talk to my child on the topic of religion. Recently I found out that they had been lying to me and secretely teaching my kid about serving Jehovah (including anti- xmas and chrismas). I have now cut them off from seeing their own grandkids with the exception if they want to come over and vist with the hole family (including my wife whom they are currently shunning).
Kind of a sad story, but that's just the way it is.

Prayers: Who's are Truly Worthy?
by prophecor inam i mistaken, or did we as jehovah's witnesses have the belief that we were the only people who could pray to god, and that it was regarded as a privelege that exclusively belonged to us, alone?.
is that not the height of all arrogance?.
i've been vanished for over ten years, but is this still watchtower dogma?

Yeah, so the all powerful being Jehovah won't hear a prayer if your not square with the Organization..... so who is all powerful Jehovah or the Organization? Since the org. is dictating which prayers God will hear.
