Jehovah's Witnesses and

Child Custody Cases

"Jehovah's Witnesses are probably responsible for half of the contested custody cases involving religious issues", says Jeff Atkinson, former chairman of the American Bar Association's Child Custody Case Committee.

This well-prepared religious group has its own unique tactics in a court of law.  We have heard the comment time and again that nothing in Law School, or in his experience,  prepared the lawyer for the confrontation he encountered. Many lawyers representing the non Jehovah's Witness parent are left shaking their head, and wondering what went wrong. Despite careful preparation using the standard methods, the attorneys representing the JW's won the day. 

All this is has changed, with the exposing of the Jehovah's Witness methods in an exciting video documentary called,

"Battling Over the Children".

The Jehovah's Witnesses' attorneys, operating out of Watchtower Headquarters in Brooklyn, New York and Halton Hills, Ontario,  Canada have prepared a secret booklet,  not for public consumption, even by their own faithful members.  This booklet,  called "Preparing For Child Custody Cases" is intended for use  by the elders who control the congregation, to coach their  people, including  young children, who are to go to court regarding child custody. 

(Online version of this booklet is available at: http://www.freeminds.org/legal/custody.htm )

Jehovah's Witnesses are instructed to perjure themselves by misrepresenting about their true lifestyle in court.  Thad Nugent, prominent Kansas City Attorney adds that this booklet,

"...recommends the giving of testimony under oath which is known to be untrue.  By statutory definitions, that's perjury". 

Other Lawyers and Judges, former JW elders, and victims give their experiences in court.To counter this booklet, there has been  prepared for the legal profession, a companion book  called;

"Refutation of Preparing For Child Custody Cases". 

Now, point by point, using their booklet and the "Refutation" book,  the Lawyer representing the Non-JW parent can counter the JW  testimony given under oath.  At the crux of the matter is the Watchtower definition of a "lie".  You should be aware that they believe they must tell the truth to only those who are "entitled to know the truth". 

This is "justified lying" in their minds.  Since they also believe that all others except Jehovah's Witnesses are under the control of Satan, including the courts, they feel quite smug about doing so.

Why make all this public?  Because the children are systematically alienated from their peers, and even non -Witness relatives.  They are put in harm's way, both emotionally and physically.  The children are the real victims.  We trust we have created a level playing field for them, because we see thousands of courtrooms turned into war zones as Jehovah's Witnesses battle over the children with their former mates.

This video and the printed materials have been professionally  prepared by people who were once members of the Watchtower Society and are also available by phone if necessary for additional help and guidance if you are preparing a case.  Referrals to lawyers who have successfully used these materials  are available.
