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.
here is the link to a recent news article.
maybe it was commented before, but today was the first i had seen it.. http://www.nydailynews.com/news/national/jehovah-witnesses-video-slammed-threats-kids-article-1.2116873.
i guess caleb is getting around.
Yeah!
It's a friggin' cult and the world it beginning to notice how fucked up the WTBTS leaders are.
This is fantastic.

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.

You need to tell this individual in no uncertain terms that he is NOT to have any further communication with your son. None. Do this immediately.
Inform your wife of your decision as head of the house.
If any of them even hesitate for an instant to respect your clearly stated direction on this matter, remind them that you are the God appointed head of the house and if any of them disobey you, disrespect you and do anything to circumvent your stated directions the consequences will be immediate and severe.
Say this calmly and firmly. Do not accept any response other than, "Yes, I understand."
