  Is Warning re Possible Lawsuit Required?

  by Scully in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  this is just a general question for anyone who might have some legal background on the matter.. if (and i expect there will be) an announcement is made to our former congregation that we are "disassociated", can i just go ahead and sue them (individual elders in the congregation) for slander and defamation of character?

  the decision to make the announcement is one that has to go through the body of elders, right??.

  is it necessary, when the elders come calling, to say "i will sue the shirt off your back and the bloomers off your @$$ if you make any announcement that slanders my name or defames my character to anyone"??

  Hey Scully! I'm going to ask my husband what he thinks ..I'll get back to you...By the way, I don't know if you've read any of my 'novel' on the board; my hubby is an honest 'shark'..Hahaha...But he's had a really interesting life, himself...He actually sued the US Government and had a favorable outcome...He was in law school, FT, and got drafted, sued the US Gov.,and got a temporary injunction so he could finish school and then went into the marines as an officer..Was in a few months and they discovered he had a crushed disc in his back(congenital)and was honorably discharged! But it was a big 'thing'..He has been the only living person to do this.....Get back to you..NK

  hi everyone, hoping you're having a good day...i am a "newbie", posted before (re: missing my granddaughter)..well, i have been thinking long and hard, and then long and harder still and i've decided to start a suit to see if i can get grandparent visitation to see my dearly-loved "chloe" who is 6 years old.

  my husband is an attorney(not chloe's grandfather) and he wants to take them on, after seeing what 2 years of being cut-off from her, has put me through.

  i have an illness, and the stress of missing chloe of course makes me feel worse.

  Thank you, I really mean it..This may be a dead end, but I guess I've already been thru so much, between my health and this stress, I feel like I have to give it the old college try! Wouldn't it be wonderful if somehow my daughter Vanessa's heart started to soften? I do believe in miracles...I am living proof. NK..........I LOVE ALL OF YOU, the support you guys give me is immeasurable!! (Woops, spelling?)

  Hi Aztec! Thanks for your feedback..and everyone's! This is precisely what I was hoping for! I need to look at and approach this from all angles..I hear what you are saying, however I am not suing for visitation to take my grandaughter to MY church or ? I don't believe any court should grant that right to a grandparent, when the child's parent or parents are living. I honestly just want to carry on the wonderful relationship I was enjoying with "Chloe"...You see, my daughter's very first boyfriend came along when she was a senior in High School, I noticed how quickly they became attached and it was intense, so I had a talk with her and brought up the subject of birth control, etc. Well, from her upbringing, she looked at me as if I had suddenly grown another head, was totally 'insulted' that I would even bring up the subject and that was that, well, not really, because a few weeks later, she came home and told me she was pregnant. I put my arms around her, told her I loved her and that WE would get through this, that everything would turn out fine...Later, I was bawling into my pillow! My daughter had a tough pregnancy and delivery, ended up having a C-section, but then both mother and baby were fine..Meanwhile Chloe's Dad, was working 3 jobs, I would let him use my car for his 3rd shift job, and all were living with me and my other 2 kids(teenagers at the time). I threw a nice shower for them, we fixed up a nice room in my home, I would baby-sit when I got home from work, this way my daughter could study and do homework. I worked hard and shared all that I had with everyone in my home. Then I went to California for 4 days, and while I was out there I called to check on things at the house and found out that "Brian", Chloe's biological father was caught by my youngest daughter and my ex-husband in a store with another girl. Well, that was horrible! If he had ended things and walked away it would've been better, but for us to find THAT out? Statistically, they didn't have a prayer, they were so young, but I hoped for Chloe's sake they might beat the odds? But it didn't happen..Anyway, my daughter and Chloe lived with us until Chloe was about 1 1/2 at which time they moved into an apt. in a house owned by a JW couple. My daughter did graduate High School and started college, she is almost an R.N., as she did meet someone, (also a JW), they married and had a baby last February, a boy(whom I've never 'met')...Her husband is very, very nice..From Mississippi, he speaks to me with respect..When he came up north to attend a wedding he met my daughter, Vanessa..They corresponded for a year and then he decided to move from where he was currently living, in Florida(he had a very good job), to New England. I was able to get him into a Union job that paid well, good benefits, etc., thru a close friend, which made me very happy AND them. Plus he's wonderful with Chloe. This situation is difficult, Vanessa hadn't gotten her degree yet as she was going part time, then she took time off with her marriage and new baby, but I heard she had gone back to finish. I totally agree that the parents should have the last say, under MOST circumstances..I don't believe that 'visitation' means time together to undermine each other or to indoctrinate one's own religious beliefs..I simply want to spend some TIME with Chloe doing Mimi(that's what she called me) and Chloe stuff..We used to talk about nature and we'd play music and dance..In the summer I would have 2 to 3 gardens and she would pick the vegetables 'by the fence' that I couldn't reach..She loves my dog "Benson" and he loved her too..At one point I was on an experimental treatment for my illness, out of Boston and at home had visiting nurses, at which point they weren't sure if I was going to make it, but she would come bounding into my room and her and I and Benson would have the VCR going, and we'd watch the Wizard of Oz! She loved that..She wouldn't act scared or anything, then at the end of the movie, she would burst into tears and sob for a minute, and I'd say "Chloe? Why are you crying now? Everything is OK, now! Then she would pull herself together and blow her nose and say, "Mimi, I save up all my crying for the end!" And I would laugh and give her a big hug! That little girl kept me going and at one point in my life when I was almost 'out of gas'..Then for Vanessa, to shun me? Why for quite a few years I was out of the truth, but I showed more spirituality than some people who went to every meeting, etc. This is why I have to try and see Chloe...I know I'm not going to live to be a ripe old age, and Chloe will not be the little girl I know and loved either..If I lose, at least I tried..The last time I spoke to her 2 years ago, I told her, please don't forget me...She told me she'd never forget me and that she thinks about me every night before she goes to bed...Even on nights when there's a finger-nail moon! (I told her when the moon is in the beginning of it's cycle, it looks like a finger-nail)..Well, thanks for your feedback...I sincerely appreciate your ideas. Take good care! NK

  Thanks LB! You got that right! Through everything, I NEVER say anything about the ORG, or Mommy, Daddy, etc. I just want to see her, read her a few stories, go outside and play or go out to eat, watch a Disney flick! If we can accomplish this? I'll post a great big pic of our reunion right here!! Thanx again! NK

I've read alot, things here on this website and I came to the conclusion that as much as I love my daughter(the mother), I could accept, hurtfully, not seeing her, if that is what she wants, but not little Chloe. We were soulmates. I'm nervous, I don't want to cause stress for little Chloe, but one person wrote to me and said "do it for her"...And that's what I'm going to do. Any words of wisdom, advice, etc.? YOU KNOW I'LL NEED IT!!! Because their always "right"...We'll just have to see about that! Thanks folks! NK

  What you wrote was beautiful, It helped me, but the hardest for me is a little 6 year old girl who wants to see me and I her, I think I can do what you're saying towards the others, but I'm havin' a rough time trying to accept that I may never see her again! We were so close..I am debating going to court to get 'grandparents visitation'..The heck with the rest of them..Do you think that's a good idea? Thanks and peace to you..Nancy K

  Hi, I am so sorry for all of your pain with your Mom's illness...I lost my brother in 1975, he was 19...I was 21..It was very difficult, as I missed his presence so much..Through the years I went into nursing and ended up working with hospice..I was with many patients and family members at the 'end'...Once I was given a book about the Aborigines and their total spiritual reliance on the universe and what comforted me about it, was, whenever a baby is being born or an elder in the 'tribe' is dying, they say the same words "We support you on your journey..." It made a lot of sense to me, as that is what we all need...That is the bottom line...When a person is so gravely ill, they are needing to exit their diseased state, and for them to have people they love, music, whatever they love around, it is so comforting..It gives them peace to face what they now have to do..to let go and go on..She will still be with you..Peace to you all and most importantly to your Mom..Nancy K
