[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]There are jewish people out there would be okay with their kids marrying a (unconverted) non-Jew, as long as their grand kids are Jewish. That used to be considered a pretty tolerant position. [b]We have come quite a way when we are expected to be happy that our grandchildren are christians, and to celebrate the fact[/b].[/quote]

No one on this thread has suggested this.  No one.

Celebrate =/= respect.[/quote]

Attending a celebration is not celebrating?   A first communion is not a celebration of someone entering adult membership in the church?   Is it just a party?

I have not been in that position myself, having married another Jew, but had I married a non Jewish woman, and had her parents not wanted to attend a Bar/Bat Mitzvah for their grandchildren because they did not want to celebrate being called to the torah - because of their relationship the torah (more likely with atheists say than with christians) I would like to think I would have understood. But then we never know how we will respond to we are tested.

What will PP do if and when her grandchildren become muslims, or Wiccans, or members of the church of Satan? is it possible there will be rituals she will be unwilling to attend?

Maybe not, as biological descent plays a different role in christianity.  Or maybe so. I don't know.  
I dont think the PP will know till she crosses that bridge. [/quote]
