Need Help! JW Grandmother (may be) Going to Court for Visitation
by Expanded-Mind in
1. jw
2. friends
i am hoping someone may be able to give me some guidance on behalf of my son.

my ex-wife, who remains a jw, is threatening to go to court to get visitation with our 5 year old grandchild.

she had regular visits with our grandchild, but when my son (no longer a jw) and his wife (never a jw) found out that his mother was teaching their daughter the jw religion without their permission and even telling our grandchild not to tell their parents... well to say the least, that was a game-changer.

What incident can you recall of been screwed over by a dubbie. My experience.
by joe134cd in
1. jw
2. experiences
the one that i can recall, and although the dollar value wasn't high, it was the thought behind it that counted.

a person who i thought was a good dubbie friend was a bit down on his luck.

so i offered to take him out to lunch.

i'm just wondering if anyone has ever tried to contact inactive or disfellowshipped jws in their area.

there are many faders in our area.

there is also a large born-in family that had many leave who were labeled as apostates.

hello one and all.. the local jws had a booth set up at my university today and something just came over me.

i went to a computer, found a list of failed prophecies, printed and stapled it, and walked over to the middle aged woman and the 10-ish years old girl.

the woman said "if you are interested in anything, take it for free.

1. watchtower
2. beliefs
how do you wake up someone taken from us by these screwed up people?.

our son was hooked by a jw at the age of 25. within 3 months they were married and we never even new about it.

he is now 29 and has nothing to do with his family(except his sister the odd time, when he needs something) of any freinds.. we are lost and have been for four years.. .
