If one is a devout JW and the devout one's parent is a professed non-Christian, is the devout JW to associate with the non-Christian parent? If so, what type of relationship is allowed according to JW teachings?
Are JW's allowed to assist an elderly non-Christian parent? Are they allowed to provide what the parent needs (within income limits)? Is the parent permitted to visit overnight or longer in a JW home? May a JW provide love, consideration, and caring (emotional and physical) to the non-Christian parent?
What about associating with other family members who are worshippers in other faiths?
Are JW's forbidden to have meaningful family relationships with those outside of his/her faith? Are JW's forbidden to have any relationships with others who are not members of the JW?
The information I was given was that JW's are to associate only, on a personal level, with other JW's.
