Affidavit for a court custody battle with a JW mom/Non JW dad
by Billzfan23 inwhat kind of things would you put in an affidavit to the court for a custody hearing - list them out in this thread for me so that i can disperse each point across multiple pages, making a strong case.
i will start:.
blood transfusions: - jw children are refused blood transfusions that could save their lives.. how about school sports, flag salute, military service, discouraging college education, keeping "seperate from the world", armageddon teachings, etc.. help we fill in a little wordy description and elaborate on each point in this post - it would be very much appreciated!.

Kingdom Ministry Sept, Holy Spirit, 144,000
by KW13 ini put all this to my mum yesterday and she didnt like it, she didnt like the thought i got material before the fds shared it, i think she thought this material was created a bit nearer to the time of it being needed, food at the proper time and everything and not that it was sat waiting to be given.. anyway we also chatted about the holy spirit and how the jw's are denied what it could potentially do for them, well she said its abilties arent around today.... i asked about the society and asked if it was a prophet she said yes.
i then showed her the scripture that showes the gifts of the sprit 1 corinthians 12...prophecy is one of them, so then i asked her what else might still work if prophecy does.
it showed from that scripture that all the gifts of the spirit that show themselves are equally as important in the eye of god bla bla bla and wow she was stunned.... in the end she resorted to twisting scripture, because as we got onto how the sprit isnt an active force but a real thing she used verse 6 to prove that apparently it was his active force it says god does all these things in men...wtf?.
