Thanks so much everyone for your input. I've printed off your responses and I'm going to also give him a couple of links about the blood doctrine because that's the angle they want to go with.
I'll let you know the outcome!

24URGENT: NEED HELP FOR A FRIEND FIGHTING HIS JW WIFE FOR CUSTODY
by Mary ini just got a call from a friend of mine who is going to court on friday to fight to see his children because his jw ex-wife doesn't want him to have access to them anymore.
in a nutshell this is his situation: met her about 12 years ago after she had left the borg and they got married and had a couple of kids.
she decided that she didn't want her children murdered by jehovah at armageddon so after being gone for 7 years, she went back and went back with a vengence.

Thanks JWfacts! Does anyone know where I can down a copy of their Preparing for Child Custody Cases"? If it's not available publically, if someone can PM me the link, that would be great.

I just got a call from a friend of mine who is going to court on Friday to fight to see his children because his JW ex-wife doesn't want him to have access to them anymore. In a nutshell this is his situation: met her about 12 years ago after she had left the Borg and they got married and had a couple of kids. She decided that she didn't want her children murdered by Jehovah at Armageddon so after being gone for 7 years, she went back and went back with a vengence. Predictably it wrecked the marriage, she moved away (but is still in Ontario) so he only sees his kids every other weekend and didn't have the money to fight her in court for more visitation rights. She has obviously been poisoning her kids' minds against their father because she told him recently that the kids "didn't want to see [him] anymore". They're 8 and 10 and had a great time with him at Xmas, so you know full well who's behind this.
I knew she was doing this all along but I don't think he fully realized what a dangerous cult it is until this happened. He wants to show the court that this religion could potentially kill his children if she's given full custody due to the blood doctrine and he wants anything written from the Organization that shows how sneaky they are when it comes to child custody.
I know this is short notice but if you guys can provide me with some ammo for him, it would be greatly appreciated. I don't have time right now because I have to do a paper for school (am enrolled in my undergrad degree again, which is why I haven't been on here. I even missed my 10th anniversary on here last week!)
Thanks so much and hope everyone's doing well!!

CAN EVERYONE DO ME A FAVOUR?
by Mary ini haven't been on here much lately, but i read barb anderson's report on the court case in california the other day.
nice to see the borg finally getting what they deserve.. anyway, the daily mail has done a story about it and at the end you can give your comments.
i think there are a number of 'faithful witlesses' on there who are giving the "thumbs down" to any negative comments about the borg, including mine.

Hi All;
I haven't been on here much lately, but I read Barb Anderson's report on the court case in California the other day. Nice to see the Borg finally getting what they deserve.
Anyway, The Daily Mail has done a story about it and at the end you can give your comments. I think there are a number of 'faithful Witlesses' on there who are giving the "thumbs down" to any negative comments about the Borg, including mine. I hope the idiots are counting it as time on their Field Serve-Us Report.
Normally, I couldn't care less about the 'thumbs down' but this is an important case and I don't want 'worldly' people to think that the general public doesn't believe that this article is in any way false. I would appreciate it if you guys would review the comments and give the appropriate 'thumbs up' or 'thumbs down' to the comments on there. Here's the link: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2160605/Candance-Conti-molested-Jehovahs-Witnesses-member-age-NINE-wins-28milion.html#comments
Thank you!!

Plaintiff awarded in punitive damages -21M & 1 dollar. Total award, 28M & 1 dollar. Here's more info
by AndersonsInfo inthe plaintiff, candace conti's goal from the very beginning was to bring enough attention to this problem to incentivize watchtower to change its policy of secrecy.
the award can be explained as it was decided: separate compensatory and punitive damages.
the punitive award is established in law to punish wrongdoing - here, the conscious disregard for others - and deter that conduct in the future.

"....recall a quote from one of the GB members around the time Barb Anderson and Bill Bowen tried to get the WT to change it's horrific policies, both the 2 witness rule and keeping congregation members from knowing of past sexual abuse convictions: He said: "We don't change for any man."
Maybe not, but they'll change for the courts if they want to hang on to their $$$ and what's left of their shattered reputation.
This is excellent news. Thanks so much to Barb and Bill Bowen and their tireless work on helping to expose this horror that 'God's Chosen Ones' have tried keeping under cover over so many years. Of course, when the R&F find out about it and start asking questions, they'll be told that this is nothing more than a 'smear campaign' by Satan's minions and is a sure sign that 'true Christians' will be persecuted in the Last Daze.It's also particularly nice to see that, given how much they've bashed the Catholic Church for protecting pedophiles, they're now in the same boat.

"DON'T BE AFRAID TO DIE FOR THE TRUTH"
by Mary inmy jw sister was over tonight for supper and after a couple of glasses of vino she told me that "today's watchtower study was bullshit" and that one of the 'elite elders' made a comment that bothered her a great deal.. he was apparently at bethel not too long ago and "one of the big-wigs" who was giving a talk said "don't be afraid of dying for the truth brothers" and this jackass was stupid enough to repeat this at the meeting.
it bothered my sister a great deal and i said to her: "soooo are they going to start passing out the kood-aid or what?
" she knew exactly what i was talking about and she said "ya, i wondered the same thing.

LongHairGal said: Mary: It always disturbed me to hear talk along those lines and I always wondered if the person spouting this garbage about dying for the religion applied this to themselves as well. Or, are they just expecting the other suckers to do it?
In theory it of course applies to the GB (after all, aren't they supposed to be 'Christs brethren'? Aren't they supposed to be martyrs for their faith? I often wonder how well Rutherfraud would have held up in a Nazi concentration camp---you know, the kind that the R&F Witness was subjected to.
They're losing control and it infuriates them. Not-so-subtle suggestions like this one is paving the road for who-knows-what kind of mentality down the road. They've already forced thousands of Witnesses to commit suicide with their ban on blood transfusions, but I have an uneasy feeling that they may have something even bigger (and worse) down the line.
10 years ago when I first joined this site I remember someone asking whether or not we thought the Organization could ever pull a Jim Jones. Even though I thought they were a bit nuts, I emphatically stated that I couldn't ever see them pulling a stunt like that. Now I'm not so sure. They've become more fanatical, more obstinate and far more pious over the last decade and I don't put too much past them anymore.

I know Scully.......we talked about the blood doctrine tonight too and she said that she thinks "they're wrong" on it, but that it's still "the Truth".
I try not to push it with her because she's never recovered from my b-i-L dying and I'm afraid that finding out this isn't "the Truth" could finish her off.
What a totally f**ked up cult.
