[LINK] "Jehovah's Witness grandparents ordered to keep faith to themselves"

[rfmcdonald]

What I find most remarkable about this situation, as described by CBC's Jason Proctor, is the unwillingness of the grandparents to confess what they have been doing. One would have hoped that these evangelists would should some courages, if they believed that what they were doing was right.

A pair of devout Jehovah's Witnesses have been ordered by a B.C. provincial court judge not to talk about religion in front of their four-year-old granddaughter.

The couple lost their bid for unsupervised access to the girl because they insisted on taking her to worship at their faith's Kingdom Hall despite the repeated objections of the child's mother.

The girl is identified only as A.W. and the grandparents as A.R. and B.R. in Judge Edna Ritchie's 12-page decision. And for now, they're on a short leash.

"There are many people with strongly held religious views that do not discuss those views in front of others, and specifically not in front of children," Ritchie wrote.

Unless A.R. and B.R. can satisfy the court that they can comply with the mother's wishes, Ritchie said, "their time with A.W. must be supervised and limited."
