Child custody and Jehovas Witnesses?

Question

What Watchtower publications can be quoted in a child custody case to show this religion can be harmful to the child's well-being?

Answer 1

Please check out this page it lists many restrictions placed on children for being Jehovah's witnesses. Good luck and I hope you free your children from the oppression of religion!

Answer 2

Use case law. Look up "Vancouver Sextuplets" - JW couple bent out of shape over blood transfusions for premature neonates. The government had to take custody of the babies to get the transfusions done; these parents would have let them die. Two of them did die. They will allow a child to die before allowing a blood transfusion. That's important.

Also, they don't celebrate birthdays. There's other stuff, look that up, don't worry about the publications so much, focus on how the restrictions affect interaction with peers, etc.

Non-religious kids are just as moral, if not more so, than their religious counterparts. Don't let anyone tell you any different.

Answer 3

Any articles on the blood doctrine, because they WILL let their child die before taking blood

There have been many cort cases where children have had to be taken away

There is one ongoing now where the Watchtower Society told the mother of Bethany Hughes that arsenic and orange juice would help her daughter with cancer instead of blood transfusions.

Answer 4
