so the watchtower says they don't teach children to shun their df'd parents if they are not living in the home per their custody packet.. so what happens once they turn 18 and are no longer legally bound to court orders for visitation?.
does anyone have any experience with this.
did your child begin shunning you once they turned 18. curious how to disucss this topic with your kid before it gets to that point..
are you kidding ?
all my 3 shunned me from way earlier than 18. their ( born-in dub ) mother had divorced me. i gave up the struggle trying to enforce my access rights. if the mother wont co-operate--the father has NO chance.
divorce + shunning--sure fire success formula for the end of a family as we know it.
well--if you didnt like my 1st piccy of dear bro loesch----your gonna just HATE this

robert j ingersoll on the great voltaire:.
"it has been claimed by the christian critics that voltaire was irreverent; that he examined sacred things without solemnity; that he refused to remove his shoes in the presence of the burning bush; that he smiled at the geology of moses, the astronomical ideas of joshua, and that the biography of jonah filled him with laughter.
they say that these stories, these sacred impossibilities, these inspired falsehoods, should be read and studied with a believing mind in humbleness of spirit; that they should be examined prayerfully, asking god at the same time to give us strength to triumph over the conclusions of our reason.
referring back to kates comment----correct me if i'm wrong--but are there sections on this site that non-members cant access ? if there is--would it be feasible for an admin to move really vitriolic wt bashing threads over to there--to avoid stumbling ( lol ) potential newbees ?
breaking news :charity commission takes watchtower to charity tribunal in britain.
two weeks ago we run an article about the abuse case in moston manchester congregation .it would seem that the coverage from the main local newspaper manchester evening news and two national newspapers has alarmed the charity commission the official regulator for charities in england and wales and now for the first time !
they opened an official investigation on both charities ,the local one ,moston congragation and the central one jehovah's witnesses of britain indicating that in their eyes these two are connected and liable for any misconduct .this is the time for a concentrated campaign from all of us to inform the charity commission why the watchtower should not be a called a charity .the article above has a link for the charity commission complaint page .follow it!.
out of interest---does anyone know if ANY religion has had their charitable status revoked in the UK ?
