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..

Birthday celebration/participation
by Zana in

2. beliefs
my wife is considering to let our kids participate, maybe even celebrate their own birthdays.

she says what can be so bad about just giving a little kid (who doesn't yet understand the bible) a day full of joy and happiness?

she herself actually delayed her own baptism as a teenager in order to celebrate one more birthday.

Catholic confirmation vs JW Baptism
by juliew in
1. watchtower
2. beliefs
how can one explain to a court system that getting confirmed as a catholic is not the same as getting baptized as a jehovahs witness.. the court system seems to be under the belief that many children get confirmed around the age of 12 and that a child should have the right to make the decision to get baptized a jw at that age as well.. my arguement is that if you want to leave the catholic church at a later date or commit a serious sin you are not shunned or excommunicated.. looking for something to show the court that using confirmation as a comparison to determine the age at which a child should make this decision is not the same since jw baptism is life altering.

.

seems like therapists also don't understand or see the big deal with letting the kids get baptized if they want to..
