Too Religious to Keep Her Daughter?
11-year-old Libby Mashburn is at the center of a child-custody battle with far-reaching consequences. Libby's mother says she lost primary custody of her daughter because she was deemed to be too religious.
Libby tells INSIDE EDITION, "I think children should be able to choose who they want to live with."
Libby's mom Laura Snider is a member of an ultra-conservative Baptist church in Alabama. Libby spends several hours each week attending sermons. On weekends, she goes to Sunday school.
The church encourages its parishioners to dress modestly, so Libby's closet is filled with skirts that fall below the knee.
Libby's mom, like other women in the church, doesn't wear makeup or swim in public. When they do swim, they don't wear swimsuits, instead they wear long dresses that Libby shows INSIDE EDITION.
They shun popular culture, so Libby doesn't watch much TV. She's heard of teen idol Hannah Montana but says she has never listened to her music.
The question is: Should Laura Snider's religious beliefs be a factor in determining custody in a divorce? Libby's mother says the Alabama Supreme Court thinks so. The court awarded 60% custody to Libby's father, William Mashburn.
Her mom believes she lost primary custody because of her fundamentalist brand of Christianity, which she said was made to look like a cult. Now she and her new husband Brian Snider are fighting to get Libby back.
when i switch on my laptop at home, the first site i go to is jwd.
when i get into work, i make myself a coffee and go back to my desk and check out jwd.
sometimes, when i am standing in a queue or waiting for someone and i am not near either of my computers, i will browse on my cell phone.
Glad it's not just me then. Since I can't talk with anyone else about any of my feelings this is my only outlet.

the ones i know are either life long window cleaners with little education behind them or ex army /police /teacher types that are used to public talking and a bit of power , which ones did you find were the best elders ie kind and caring , i would go for the uneducated window cleaner /manual worker type by my experiance , in fact it was because the intelligent ones believed it was "the truth" that made me think well it must be true if he believes it
I'm planning to be an ex-elder ex-JW someday StAnn, does that count? I'm an ex-Bethelite, doesn't that count for something?
Are you still an elder Billy?! The holy spirit must be having a short circuit.
...and smelled the roses I find myself looking around the hall and wondering who else is apostate. I bet there's at least one other. I had an interesting conversation with an elder the a few weeks back where he expressed an opinion opposite to the societies party line. Kind of risky for an elder! There sure are a lot of bored looking people at the meeting.
the endeavor to compel all men to think alike on all subjects,.
culminated in the great apostasy and the development of the .
great papal system; and thereby the 'gospel,' the 'one faith,'.
W/T Jan 15th 2008 p.29. "Matt:10:34-38 - Is the Scriptural message to be blamed for family rifts? Not at all. Rather, rifts are caused by the position taken by unbelieving family members. They may choose to reject or oppose Christianity, bringing about divisions in the family."
Bloody cheek!
