And the end result was that the wife divorced him. And I testified about how the witnesses and their beliefs would impact the children and how it would affect them. For example, they couldn't be a Boy Scout or a Girl Scout. They couldn't be in Little League. They couldn't celebrate holidays. They couldn't go to a Christmas party, and so on.

So the mother ended up with primary custody, and the father had visitation. And his visitation was Prescribed in the sense that he could not take the children and indoctrinate them in the witnesses. And he could not go with them, for example, door to door, as witnesses do, handing out tracts and trying to recruit people. Because the witnesses, unlike most religions, are intolerant of other people.

religious beliefs in a way that is very extreme, that creates an impossibility of compromise. Whereas most parents could work that out, it's very difficult for the parent who is not a witness to work it out with the witness parent. And so I've seen a number of divorces, child custody battles over situations like that.

And also the courts have had to intervene to get a child life-sustaining blood transfusions because a parent who's a witness believes that by getting a blood transfusion for their child, they have committed a horrible wrong. and they're encouraged by the leaders in their church, their kingdom hall, the elders, not to do that.

And so the courts have had to intervene at times and order that a child does receive a blood transfusion. And I guess the premise for that would be that the child has a right to life. The parents have a right to believe as they wish to believe and as adults to refuse a blood transfusion, but they do not have the right to make that choice for their child who has a right to live.

And so the courts have intervened in a number of cases like that. So there have been a number of things that have occurred like that. And also the witnesses have had a problem similar to the Catholic Church, in regards to sexual abuse of minor children within the witnesses. And that is their refusal to go to the authorities to have people arrested and instead to kind of keep it within
