What is WT policy concerning illegitimate children?
If child is conceived out of wedlock but parents wed before the birth, how does WT determine if they "qualify" for spiritual inheritance?
Does WT have any policy concerning Jehovah's acceptance of illegitimate children of single mothers?
they think nothing of it they do not judge in that way. they keep the cong clean of serious sin but but never blame the child for the sin of the parents.
I'm surprised you asked this cameo?
A) No policy
B) What spiritual inheritance? It's nothing to do with them
C) No policy.
No conspiracy there. Just like any other religion.

he org does not keep the cong clean of serious sin. The pedophilia scandal underscores that.T
The unbaptized daughter of one JW had a baby out of wedlock. The congregation fell all over the kid, and were vocal about their hopes that one day the kid would do better than her "sleazebag mother".

I personally knew of a sister that had a child out of wedlock..when this sister, who later married the non JW father. was having a hard time keeping her youngest toddler quiet...I found the congregation, in general very intollerant and insensitive. Also her eldest daughter, aged 13 was being stalked by a known pervy brother(he offered her jewellery and kept hounding her.) and the elders were not seeing it from the teenagers view point at all.They counselled the brother, yet refused to move her out of his book group...( he kept sitting next to her)
When I complained that, if she were an elders daughter they would have done something..I was reminded of the nature of her birth( I tell no lie, I could hardly believe what I was hearing!) Her mother is a very sweet, honest lady, who I believe, wisely found herself a very nice, caring husband outside the Org. Yet no matter what she did since, or how she is as a christian, she, nor her children get the same treatment. I've heard similar stories from others.
The WT HATES batards. F*(K ' em
Who cares how they wiew 'em, bring 'em all in.
they keep the cong clean of serious sin but but never blame the child for the sin of the parents.
This statement is laughable, The whole of mankind is suffering for the sins of Adam and Eve!!!!!
As long as the parents are in good standing with the congregation the child will be accepted from what I have observed.
