A very good day to you Mouthy,
Sorry that I missed your post, but I just got back on line last night.
Seeing you in action before, I am sure that you destroyed them!
Its too bad that one of our regular networks has not been interested in this story. I guess that we have to face the fact that this little cult is just that; a little cult. With all of the billions of hours devoted to door knocking, the general population does not care.
You have done so much for so many that I am proud to know you.
Hope to see you in April.

i am a little skeptical (but not very!
) about accounts of the.
society's lawyers/representatives coaching people to lie in.
Metatron,
Having gone through a battle for custody of my son, I can assure you that in fact the society does coach the jw's in court. As a matter of fact, they have published a booklet entitled "Preparing for child custody cases." I have a copy of it somewhere in my files but I could not locate it at the moment. I am sure that if anyone on this board has been through a custody issue, they would be familiar with this publication.
When I locate it, I will post some wonderful, truthful, advice from the FDS.

dear pope, mr. falwell, mr. baker, mr. gordon b. hinkley,.
the chances of you reading this are the same as the gb reading this.. which makes this just as lame as posts on this board to the gb.. .
thanks.
Mr. Creamjeans.(I hope you dont mind TR, but it has a lovely ring to it.)
As per an aquiantance of mine, her comments to me about the beliefs of your CULT and I qoute " I sincerly appreciate your CULT'S servitude. Since I am High Pagan and my religion was the first on this planet I believe I have seniority before any other. I am happy to know that my people will have several thousand devoted slaves to do our bidding in our next reincarnation. I truly believe that All J-Ho's would make excellent Catholic Priests or Franciscan Monks, as per your own oath requires servitude. I claim first rite. Blessed Be.
END QUOTE"
Maybe if you are really nice to me I could talk her into allowing you to become a nun instead.

the elders just called us.
one called and another one got on the phone first to ask if my husband would meet with them.
my husband told them he had nothing to say, and if they are going to make any announcement from the platform that slanders our name in any way we will sue them personally, and if we do meet with them we would only do it if our lawyers come and to tell jr brown and mario marino to come also.
Right on roybatty!
That must of felt so sweet.
ARoarer,
If its not too damaging to your present quality of life, I would follow roybatty's advice only I would also mention to the elders that if they ever needed some extra cash, you heard that George Lucas was looking for stunt doubles to stand in for R2D2 and 3CPO for his next installment of Star Wars.

... well, in addition to condoms being bad, now the pope says lawyers who work on divorce cases are doing something bad.. poor old guy; he should retire, but he really believes and will likely die in harness or become so decrepit that he is no longer capable and will be replaced.. however, at least jw's don't corner the market in saying stupid things!.
.
people living in glass paradigms shouldn't throw stones...
Uto and others,
It becomes obvious whenever I hear someone slam the Cathlic Church that they are/were part of this group, ie: jw, ex-jw or fundie. No matter how long they have been out or what their beliefs are at present, they always get their jollies badmouthing the Catholic religion. I usually find that the majority of this group don't know squat about Catholisism. They appear to be in shock when told that three bible scriptures are read at every mass. I guess this goes against what they have been told about the Vatican locking up the bible in some secret cave in Vatican City and no-one is allowed a glimpse of the Holy Scriptures.
I am curious to know what in the Hell did the Pope and clergy do to you for you to be so callous.
Respectfully,

Hi Kismet,
I was hoping to see you this past weekend. Maybe you can make it this weekend.
I found your article to be better suited in most custody cases involving religious issues except where one spouse happens to be a jw. There is absolutely no middle ground when you are dealing with jw beliefs. Most jws will have no problem with fabricating things in order for the jw parent to get custody of the children. As a matter of fact, the Society has a book available, that instructs the spouse and all other witnesses from the congregation, to lie in court battles. The book is titled "Preparing for child custody cases." It was a tremendous aid in my custody battle. During my discovery (deposition) by my ex's jw lawyer, I was prepared to answer all of his questions effectively having studied the book beforehand.
I agree with what Alan has stated about Witnesses being reasonable. During our custody dispute, it became apparent that we were not going to resolve anything without a third party getting involved. My lawyer suggested that it might be beneficial to have an arbitrator meet with us. My ex wife attended two sessions with the arbitrator and when it became apparent that he was not in agreement to my son being solely raised as a jw, she did not show up for the third.
As Alan also stated, it is possible, (Although extremely costly) for the non-jw parent to win custody. The difficult part is finding a lawyer that has had experience with these types of cases. The first lawyer that I hired could not understand why I was so concerned about my ex. He told me that he has a jw secretary and you could not find a nicer person. He basically thought that it was the bitterness I had about the separation that made me paranoid about her religious beliefs. In my search for an effective lawyer, I went through the phone directory and called all of the family lawyers listed, asking if they had any experiences with jws. They said the same thing to me. Religious issues have no bearing on child custody cases. I finally found one that had very limited knowledge of the witnesses. He had represented a male client that took three years to settle. He did get custody of his son but unfortunately had to declare bankruptcy because of the legal costs, along with the emotional stress.
Custody cases involving Jehovahs Witnesses can be won but they are extremely harmful to your emotional and financial health. You have to be well organized and very resilient. It is not fought on equal terms. I have heard of cases where the Witnesses will assist in hiding the children from the opposer. Also the society will assist the member financially after they exhaust their own funds.
