Randy, this is a good subject for a YouTube video. May I share it with a few YouTubers who make educational videos about the WTB&TS? I know at least 3 who work together and would probably do this material justice.

playing along with the disfellowshipped game
by milligal inmy son has come to stay with me for the summer, and this morning i got a phone call which showed on the caller id as my son's grandparents (my jw ex's parents who are also jw).
i assumed it was my ex calling from their house and answered handing the phone to my son.
that's when i heard his grandma's voice on the phone.

'whenever you call I listen to the message and if it's important I pass it on'.
This is something you should seriously discuss with your attorney. This woman is not the custodial parent of your child and has no right to decide whether communication from a natural parent is important or not. This is not a tit for tat situation; whereas she doesn't anwer your calls, so you shouldn't answer her's. She has no business interfering with your communication or visitation with your child--period. That should be specified in the custody/visitation agreement. As a matter of fact, bringing up the disfellowshipping issue in court, should give the judge a good education on exactly what type of custodial parent and subsequent grandparents this poor kid is living with/around. Standing up for yourself isn't the issue here, but standing up for your child is, IMHO. It has been proven time and time again, that most jws will do the right thing only if they are forced to. Think about it; these nutcases would gladly let your child die before allowing him a blood transfusion unless the court steps in. As an organization, they only report child molestation when the state requires them to do so, and then they do it anonymously.

Dwelling on wrong thoughts can lead to a state of mind in which a person is willing to throw away his precious relationship with jehovah (GB) in exchange for something to which he has no right (jas 1:14,15)
Yeah, like a college degree, a successful career, independent thought and morality....

I'm just trying to get all of these facts and my emotions in some sort of order. It's overwhelming but yet I am not bitter and have no desire to bash or bad mouth them. Not all of my upbringing or experiences were bad .
It is important that you get all of the facts and your emotions in some sort of order. Being that you were df'd and went through the process of being reinstated, I don't think you are as unscathed as you think are. I was out for 13 years before I started to deal with some of the nastiness I experienced at the hands of the WTB&TS. Had it not been for the Bill Bowen/Barbara Anderson interview on Dateline, I would've continued to blame myself for what happened to me.
When it really starts to hit you, please be assured that we are all here for you. Thankfully your husband is out and supportive of you. You will also find JWD to be quite a good source for an education about the history and ongoing abuses of the WTB&TS. Welcome!
