Rowena
Rowena is my youngest of three daughters. She was born just two weeks before my 24th birthday. Hey! 3 kids by the time I was 24 
I had not been able to sleep with my other daughters, although I had wanted to, but because Rowena was born in the middle of winter (southern hemisphere), my husband said it was OK to have the baby in bed with me.

Daniel cut me off
As soon as he was married, and got back from his honeymoon, Daniel stood on the footpath outside my home, and told me he was cutting me off. He told me he was also cutting off his best friend, Y, for the same reason.
The elders never did anything about it. Just shrugged and said, that because he was now in a different congregation, they couldn’t do anything about it. I didn’t know any of the elders in the other congregation, and was did not feel up to approaching strangers about this matter, so it never got dealt with.
I would sometimes drop in to my daughter’s place, and if Daniel wasn’t home, she would let me in, but if Daniel was home, she would tell me I couldn’t come in.
My daughter now tells me that Daniel “had concerns about my spirituality” at the time. What?!?!?! I was going to all the meetings, and was still quite satisfied with my religion (as opposed to the people in it). At no time did Daniel express to me any such concern.
It is pointless for him to say “oh, but I was young and didn’t know any better”. He was a ministerial servant, and soon afterwards, the elders made him an elder; if he was mature enough to be an elder, he was certainly mature enough to approach me and say that he had concerns.
