I met Bro Booth as he dedicated our KH.
I asked him if the Gov Body could bring bach the sabbath, as I needed the rest. He didn't think it was that funny.

How far can I trust my JW parents?
by Atilla inmy parents know how i feel about the whole religion and they now know that i will never come back.
there is a somewhat cordial existance at this point but i feel this won't last for long.
my wife and i regulary visit my parents and sometimes we even leave our 2 yr child at their house overnight.

$100 per month isn't going to totally make or brake the retirement bank, certainly it would help if they invested it.
I would tell them that they should view the grandchild as off limits to religious talk. Tell them "let's have a great relationship apart from our religious differences"

A new type of shunning?
by Mark ina baptized brother in a local congregation stopped attending meetings months ago.
he hasn't been disfellowshipped, nor has he taken any steps to disassociate himself from the congregation.
he hasn't even been marked or privately reproved - god, i hate this type of cultish lingo, he just stopped attending meetings.

That is too bad. The offical website www.jw-media.org says this: (perhaps someone should show the local cong. what "mother" says.)
Do you shun former members?
Those who become inactive in the congregation, perhaps even drifting away from association with fellow believers, are not shunned. In fact, special effort is made to reach out to them and rekindle their spiritual interest. If, however, someone unrepentantly practices serious sins, such as drunkeness, stealing or adultery, he will be disfellowshipped and such an individual is avoided by former fellow-worshipers. Every effort is made to help wrongdoers. But if they are unrepentant, the congregation needs to be protected from their influence. The Bible clearly states: 'Remove the wicked man from among yourselves.' (1 Corinthians 5:13) Those who formally say they do not want to be part of the organization any more are also avoided. What of a man who is disfellowshipped but whose wife and children are still Jehovah's Witnesses? The spiritual ties he had with his family change, but blood ties remain. The marriage relationship and normal family affections and dealings can continue. As for disfellowshipped relatives not living in the same household, Jehovah's Witnesses apply the Bible's counsel: "Quit mixing with them." (1 Corinthians 5:11) Disfellowshipped individuals may continue to attend religious services and, if they wish, they may receive spiritual counsel from the elders with a view to their being restored. They are always welcome to return to the faith if they reject the improper course of conduct for which they were disfellowshipped.
