  Thanks guys for your advices!

  I am still fighting for the custody. It is hard just to give in and let the Watchtower rule in all areas of my daughter's life. The blood issue by itself is too heavy to carry.

  Thanks again.

  Hello everyone!

  I have never been a a JW. My ex-wife is a fanatic newborn JW for the last 5 years. Her fanatism was the main reason we got divorced. We have a 6 years old girl who didn't step her foot into a Kingdom Hall until she was 5 when we got divorced. Now since she spends more time with her mom than with me, they don't miss a single meeting or field service work. After 8 months of JW involvement, my girl asked me not to celebrate her upcoming birthday because mom will get really mad and will punish her for the whole week. She repeatedly told me that she is scared to celebrate.

  I have a dilemma now. I really want my daughter to enjoy holidays and special days, on the other hand I don't want to hurt her, put lots of pressure and guilty feelings on her. What would be a golden middle?

  Anybody has an experience or thoughts?

  Thanks

  Hello everybody!

  I am in the middle of divorce. My soon-to-be exwife is a fully
  converted dedicated to her bones JW. The problem is with our 5 years old daughter. During the deposition my lawyer put my wife against the wall with a question: What is she going to do in case our daughter needs an emergency blood transfusion?
  She tried to get away with the typical: I'll ask for the best available medical care. He asked: What if the only best available IS a transfusion. She went: I'm not the only parent to make this decision (hinting that I'll be there and will allow it). My lawyer went further: What if your husband is not there at the moment?
  After a few more "best available", my wife cracked and said: I am not going to allow a blood transfusion.
  I was kind of glad that she confessed so the judge at the final hearing hopefully will give me the rights to make final decisions for our daughter in case om medical emergency. But on the other hand, it was SO scary to hear that.
  What if I am NOT going to be there?

  Anyway, I need help: Does anybody have the exact wording we can try to put in the final agreement on emergency medical situations so I will be the only one making decisions and if I am not there - the doctors will have to do all possible to save a child's life?

  Thanks in advance,
