Jehovah's Witnesses
[edit]Consider using the following as sources (beyond my book collection)
- God's things and Caesar's: Jehovah's Witnesses and political neutrality
- Internment camps
- Jehovah's Witnesses as Un-Americans? Scriptural Injunctions, Civil Liberties, and Patriotism
- Jehovah's Witnesses and the Empire of the Sun: A Clash of Faith and Religion During World War II
- The Faithful Do Not Yield: Jehovah’s Witnesses in Nazi Camps
- Disciplined Litigation, Vigilant Litigation, and Deformation: Dramatic Organization Change in Jehovah's Witnesses
General thoughts:
- Add an LGBT issues section?
- The government interactions section could be much more fleshed out, specifically regarding their history in the United States. Consider if I should move some of the government interactions stuff back into the child abuse section.
- Flesh out the separateness section with Chryssides and Knox (more favourable than some of what's currently in there from sociologists).
- Further explain the concept of "new light" and older JW publications being destroyed if they're "old light".
Things to come back to
[edit]- Page 22 of A New Introduction for improving the Bible student movement. Gilead school founding on page 24.
- Jehovah's Witnesses in Canada
- Jehovah's Witnesses in the United States
- Look into Young v. Young (mentioned on page 25 of Defining Harm) appears to be a Canadian legal decision where a father was prohibited from discussing religion with his children. The subject of child custody seems to pop a few times in regards to JWs, so that should probably be in the article somewhere. This might be a notable case in itself.
- Look into R. v. Lesson and Donald v. Hamilton Board of Education (mentioned on page 27 of Botting's Fundamental Freedoms), which were Canadian legal case involving seized literature and children being expelled from school
- Look into R. v. Kinler, R. v. Noreworthy, and Brodie v. R., mentioned on page 35 of Botting's Fundamental Freedoms. Duval v. R. is mentioned on page 37. City of Montreal v. Furlan on page 69.
