walking back from town today we saw two old ladys and i said "good morning" my child said " are those ladys the ones in that religion that come and talk to you about something but i dont know what ?" i said they were not but she started to ask about grandma again(jw grandma that has not visited for 18 months , her disfellowshipped dads mother .) it was quite difficult to answer some of her questions and i told her daddy and i dont want to be in the religion because they dont let you see your family who leave the religion (amongst other reasons ! ) she said "do you know what i think ?" isaid "no, why dont you tell me " she replied " i think it was people who just made that up and not god because i dont think he would do something such a nuisance !" (i think she meant nonsense not nuisance !) bless her ! wish i could have taped her for grandma ! she also said" if your in that religion when im a grown up and cant come to see me , i will still come to see you " now thats a tricky one ! i replied that nothing would ever stop me coming to see her so not to worry about it !
"out the mouth of babes " my six year olds opinion of shunning !

"if your in that religion when im a grown up and cant come to see me , i will still come to see you "
That must have brought tears to your eyes. How could we ever have been in a religion that made children worry about that sort of thing?
