Thanks Bubblie, I just never know what to bring up to them. When they think anything critical of the Wt is evil or apostate, the wall goes up. I thought if I could drop the book off in their mail box maybe they would be tempted to read it. My son in law maybe, my daughter is not a reader and too busy to sit down and read a book. If my son in law would read it I know he would discuss it with her. I just never know for sure what to do.

Thank you for responding. I can't wait to read the book. Have any of you tried giving the book to jw's? I thought I could drop it in my kids mail box. I just worry that they will throw it out with the garbage. I have to find a way for them to read it. Any ideas?

Thanks Gary, I have read the reviews and can't wait to read it. I really want to get it to my JW kids. I was thinking about just droping it in their mail box, but don't want them to suspect me. I can play dumb like I have no idea what they are talking about. I just don't want them keeping my grand-kids from me. I'm getting no where with them and so worried about my young grand-kids being raised in this so called truth.

not I thought I would sneak it in their mail box and act like I know nothing about how it got there. Is this too risky?

Our JW Friend told by Elder "Satan is using a Pedophile to Break your Faith"
by flipper ini was given permission by a jw friend of my wife and me to post this experience.
she's anonymous and posts on the board.
she is married to a witness still but is fighting on behalf of children in her congregation to not be a next victim of a pedophile who attends her congregation.

I too agree with elsewhere, this guy can not get away with this. First a pat on the bottom, what next? As long he get's away with the pat, he will think its safe to take it a bit further. The elders covering over this are just as guilty.
I think it would be hard to bring the news in on it, you would have to have proof. Use a camera phone to catch him patting the girls or any time he touches the girls. With his past record, he has no business touching or patting any young girls.

I got invited to the KH for the Traveling Circuit Overseer's talk
by lavendar infirst let me say, i've never been a jw and never will become one.
i'd rather stick needles in my eyes.
my son has invited me to his kh to hear the co's talk.

Lavendae, I have visited KH on a couple of Sundays. I can tell you, there was nothing uplifting about any of it. Just sooooo boring! I have gone to 2 memorials and again, most boring ritual ever. I will never step foot in a KH again or ever go to antoher memorial. Oh and if you ever plan to go to a District Convention, that is the top of their boring list.
I just politely refuse when I'm invited to go now. I don't talk it down, just let them know I'm not interested.
I try to plant little seeds when the right time allows. My sil came in the house one night with lottery tickets, he said: " We can buy lottery tickets now" . I said: " Oh, they changed that doctrine?. I hope they change the doctrine on blood tranfusions before your kids ever need one". No response from him, and I didn't say anymore. I look for those types of oppourtunities.
I learn so much from this forum, by reading here, it helps me to have information that helps me to think quick and have an answer or question about some of their doctrines

Wondering.....
by lavendar inour son became involved with the jws about 4 years ago, due to his jw wife (they married before she was baptized).
i don't believe our son is baptized yet.
i was wondering....if a person is not baptized yet, do the elders still put pressure on the person to do more, ie field service, talks, etc.

Watson,
What you said is true, the sad part is that once they have children, they bring them into the cult. The children can't make choices for themselves, they just have to go along. The damage is done by time they are old enough to decide for themselves and by that time they are usually brain washed.
I don't worry about my daughter, she is old enough to decide if she want's to go along with this BS but the children have no choice and children love when they are pleasing to their parents. My daughter is so PROUD when my 7 yr. old grand-son raises his hand to anwer at the Sunday meeting. It turns my stomach, I see the brain washing going on and he is so proud he is making mom so happy.
They stopped over last Sunday after the meeting and had my grand-son make a watchtower magazine presentation. I wish you could see the proud look on my daughters face. I don't make any fuss over it, just go on about how nice they look and bring them in and insist on taking pictures. I will not discuss the WT with them
I wish you well, Lavendar, it will be really be painful if you have to watch your grand-kids miss out on all the fun things other kids are doing, especially Christmas.

Lavendar, I hope something happens one day to open their minds, like so many on this forum had their eyes opened to the WT. I get so excited everytime I see another JW leave the cult. Keeps me thinking it COULD happen. I hope for your sake, your son can see through this false religion before you have a grand-baby. Keep our fingers crossed.

Lavendar,
I sure hope you plant enough seeds before they start having children. My daughter married a JW and got baptized. She told me she would never get extreme in it. Well, she is. Now I have to watch my grand-kids be denied birthday parties, Christmas, Valentines Day parties at school, Halloween parties at school, and not being allowed to say the Pledge.
At one point my grand-son and grand-daughter told me that, if I do birthday and Christmas, I worship Satan. Of course I set them straight on that.
I just think you need to do all you can before he gets to involved.
