  A few more details . . .

  Makes you wonder where the grandparents were in all of this - couldn't they have lent a hand with looking after Ryan?

  I agree with you MMX1V that it's easy to criticise but many people need to look in the mirror and ask themselves how much they played a part in allowing this to happen.

  Baby Ryan's mum was brought up a Jehovah's Witness and gave birth to Ryan when she was 16. Begs the question, what made her go off the rails?

  And does anyone know of the Hancox family in the Midlands?

  So sad.

  Happy Mothers Day UK mommies, I mean mummies!

  Nugget - isn't it wonderful to be able to finally enjoy one of the most special days for us? I know my JW mum always wanted us to make a fuss of her on this day, even though we weren't supposed to..... BUT would be still be quietly disappointed if we didn't....aaarrrggghhh. The last few years of being a JW I always got her a card anyway and she absolutely loved it, well, she actually cried every time...

  Another_sad_day for JW mothers feeling everyone else around them is being recognised for the hard job they do, whilst having to pretend that they don't care about being left out and 'different' from everyone else (excluding those of course that secretly celebrate it anyway...)

  @bohm - we'd welcome original work in other languages but for the time being we are focussing the translation on the languages mentioned - its purely down to demographics - 80% of JW's can be reached with those 9 languages.....after that its diminishing returns...PM me with your ideas though please.....
