Jehovah's Witnesses are well-prepared to legally argue against such bigoted reasoning.

There was a child custody handbook published in 1988 that is used to teach members to mislead the court on the practices of jws. The resources cited below should provide helpful resources to understand what you are up against when dealing with these issues. There are numerous references in JW literature that defines their beliefs and they can be used extensively in court.
Elder Book, Elder letters, Reasoning from the Scriptures, Organized to do Jehovah's Will, are just a few of key publications that could be helpful.

The court isn't going to buy the "religion is harmful" You've asked this question before and the answer is the same. You can not keep your ex from court ordered visitation based solely on the grandmother's religious preference. Being Jehova Witness is NOT against the law or did you forget that the U.S. was founded on freedom of religion? I suggest that you LEARN something about the religion so that when your daughter asks questions you can answer he INTELLIGENTLY and then express the fact that your family is not of that particular religion therefore the grandmother's views do not apply to your family. Or are you just planning on coming right out and telling your daughter that you are a bigot?

You have to go back to the original publications from the founder Charles Taze Russell. And your asking for an imposssible feat, my freind. You are asking for evidence that they admit would harm them and they would not do.
The Jehovahs Witnesses are rightly called a "cult" because of their "strong, authoritative dication" to its members. Your probably asking this question because you are not a JW and your wife may be (or vice versa) and the "organization" doesnt want you near the child after the separation. Am I correct?
I dont know of any publications but if you email me I can put you in touch with two missonaries to the Jehovah Witnesses that could help depending on your situation.

JW don't believe in blood transfusions and if something happened to a child that needed one, they would let that child die. Doctors have been known to get court orders to administer blood to save a child's life because the parents that are JW refuse to allow their child to receive blood transfusions.

Find a Judge that will rule against one's desire to follow the Bible, be law abiding and not fight.
