We have neighbors that are J.W. and are very nice, unassuming people. They are friendly but don't go out of their way to establish any friendships in the neighborhood. They have 3 boys who are the same ages as a lot of kids on the street but they seldom play with the other kids. I expressed an interest at one time in JW (not to convert but just out of sheer ignorance) and wanted more information. Everything they told me seemed good but I just couldn't knock the feeling that something was "wrong". They continue to bring me literature to read, but never force the issue. Will they always just be distantly friendly not allowing themselves to socialize with the neighbors? They like my 6 yr. old son and at times allow their sons to play with him but not very often. I sometimes get upset because at school, the class will not allow birthday parties because of this family's beliefs. I want to be more vocal as I think it's highly unfair when 21 other students in the class DO celebrate birthdays, but I don't want to offend our neighbors. Any suggestions for dealing with this?
