You need to tell her that if she is going to teach what the bible says, then ahe needs to get her nose out of the Watchtower and try reading that Bible.

How about you do what the others have suggested and tell the mother that you won't tolerate her bad-mouthing you. Somehow get it all documented in court documents.

Then, whenever your daughter visits you, spend 10 minutes a day reading straight from the gospels. Not from the Great Teacher Book or My Book of Bible stories. Rather straight from the bible. I'm sure that you daughter in very short time will find her own words to counter her mother's malicious slander. She will realize that mommy and the people at the kingdom hall read the Watchtower. But her daddy actually reads the Bible.

Myself, I would have a difficult time with the Bible reading because I'm pretty tired of all things religion right now. But even I see that reading the gospels can only have a beneficial effect on the reader and listener. You can take an extra 5 minutes to discuss what you've read and how it fits into each of your lives.

I think there are some threads here of men who have used a similar approach to start getting their JW spouse and kids to start thinking for themselves (in preparation for him to help them leave the confines of the org.) If I find any of those threads, I'll post here for you.

Please help with Child-Custody Issues

by LowTech in

per audo sapere's suggestion i have reposted this with a different title:.

i could use some advice on how to handle this situation.

my wife and i are almost divorces (she has finally signed the papers...what an ordeal).

Here's a link to an old thread that might help, too: http://www.jehovahs-witness.com/6/15618/1.ashx

I found it by looking in the 'Best Of' section on the main JWD page under the WTS and Legal Issues subheading. There are a few other good links there that you might want to peruse.

The board is slowing down right now (as people in UK head to bed and those in the US are ending their weekend).

I'll try to remember to 'bump this to top' tomorrow so it's more visible in the ActiveTopics.

Enjoy your evening.

I have a technical suggestion for you.

Start a new thread and title it something to the effect of 'Please help with Child-Custody Issues'. In my opinion those who have practical and first-hand experience will be more likely to help you. I skipped over your thread a few times myself because your topic heading was too vague and I didn't take time to learn the actual topic subject. You will find all sorts of advice is requested. From which job to apply for, to should I DF or DA, to laundry questions.

My guess is that the people most able to help, have their children with them on this Sunday evening and - if they should scan the topics - are more likely to stop and assist you if they realize you specific need.

In the meantime, here is a link to some of alamb's topics on a very similar subject. She even has court video of her hearing. http://www.jehovahs-witness.com/member/1080/topics/default.ashx

I'm pretty certain that several other JWD members posted their own stories and links on her threads.

I truly wish you the best with this difficulty. Keep posting here. It really is a great site and you will get much support. It's an serious and emotional issue that touches and hurts all of our hearts.

btw - Welcome to JWD.
