  MNIONC = My Name is of No Consequence

  I made up the acronym on page 3 because his JWN username is too long to type.

  MNIONC: I don’t want to lose my family.

  We get that. That's why we're telling you what we're telling you.

  My ex-wife and the congregation elders successfully alienated two of my children. I haven't talked to either in years.

  I should have fought harder and asserted my boundaries as father. I didn't and lost them. Don't make the same mistake that I and many others here have made.

  Take a stand and you have a fighting chance. Don't and you'll almost surely lose.

  MNIONC: I texted this brother last night and said that we need to talk THIS WEEK. He texted that he would get back to me. We'll see what happens.

  No, no, no!

  You're still letting him control the frame.

  YOU need to take control or you might lose your son.

  Do you think we're kidding here?

  You came here asking for advice. You've got dozens of people that has been through similar situations. For most of us it didn't work out well because we didn't know what to do. We're trying to help with our hard-won experience and you're not listening.

  Tell that brother in no uncertain terms to stay away from your son and your wife. Do it!

  No more "we'll see ..."

  GFG: the current Elders secret manual makes the legal claim, that a person who meets with a committee is ''...thus acknowledging the authority of the congregation.''

  The problem with that is this: only the elders know this. The R&F Witnesses do not.

  Also, you have a chance to set an example for your son. You realized that something you used to believe is wrong. Now you're taking a stand.

  He is watching you. Fuck what some "brother" in the KH thinks. This guy doesn't respect you. You have no reason to treat him with anything but measured disdain.

  MNIONC: Let me ask you something: Have you ever been in this situation?

  Not exactly, but similar enough.

  I handled it poorly and lost my sons. Don't make the same mistakes I did. Absolutely reaffirm appropriate boundaries. It's that important.

  MNIONC: My wife will not permit me to talk to him unless she is present.

  Dude, be the man.

  You're awake but you're letting your still asleep wife boss you around.

  You gotta' grow a pair and soon.
