to cut very long story short , my inlaws have not seen my child for 18months we left the area they live 2 years ago after a ex min servant was sent to prison for abusing kids including my eldest child , understandably i wanted a fresh start !

today my jw motherinlaw tried to give her disfellowshipped son ten pounds for our child (her granchild she hasnt seen for 18 months ) he asked her why ?

she told him i told her it was best if they didnt see our child anymore just before i left town (half hour drive away from our new home ) this is not true at all !

It is not wrong for Grandparents to see their granchildren even though their son / daughter is DF'd. Dig around long enough on the WTL and I'm sure you will find something, a mag(whatever) to back that up.(if your M-I-L cared that much, she would have done this).

To be hoest, calling Bethel? Well, I guess you could ask them your question re. "the rules on seeing granchildren etc". Other than that, sorry but it won't accomplish that much(esp in London).

Personally, I would do the groundwork and then confront the MIL face to face, the Bro at Bethel may quote scripture and ask you to do this (I know this will be tough), she will be shocked to hell, especially when you have WT refs. You may even be able to say "I called Bethel and....".

Whatever you do, don't let anyone convince you that you are to blame, this is not down to you. Obviously, I cant give any info, but I have a feeling that I may know the "ex min servant that was sent to prison for abusing kids" - bastard! (please excuse my french). Actually, I got hold of his mobile number and tried to call him to tell him (well, words can't describe) but is was dead. Hope I never see the guy, wouldn't be pretty !!!!!

What is "AGM"?

Annual General Meeting (known in the uk as such). This from wiki:

An annual general meeting (commonly abbreviated as AGM, also known as the annual meeting) is a meeting that official bodies, and associations involving the public (including companies with shareholders), are often required by law (or the constitution, charter, by-laws etc. governing the body) to hold. An AGM is held every year to elect the Board of Directors and inform their members of previous and future activities. It is an opportunity for the shareholders and partners to receive copies of the company's accounts as well as reviewing fiscal information for the past year and asking any questions regarding the directions the business will take in the future.

Strangest comment

by drewcoul in

what is the strangest or most wacked-out comment or answer you've ever heard at a wt or book study?.

i remember at the cong.

wt study, we were studying about the jews being led out of egypt by moses.

The conductor asked "What seeming advantages did the Egyptians have?".....One lady was called on and said....I kid you not......"Guns. The Egyptians had guns, but the Jews didn't have any weapons."

Ha, I read that and nearly spat beer all over my laptop

Is there anything that could actually bring down this farce of a religion?

it seems as if they have survived it all.

bad press such as articles on molestations, neutrality, blood, defections of high ranking officials, crazy changes in doctrines, financial stresses, passage of a 100 years without one prophecy coming true.

yet they are still going strong with new members being recruited at a faster level than those who leave.

"marginally sincere people"

I think that, on reflection, most JW's are sincere people?
