Where can I find a certain JW book?

There is no actual "book", but merely a packet of precedents and other information which might be useful to a Christian parent who is working to assure custodial rights.

Of course, Jehovah's Witnesses have never hesitated to publish information related to child custody issues. Their official website contains plenty of information.

First, the Catholics didn't kill anyone found with a Gnostic Gospel - you are way off base on that one. The persecution of "heretics" didn't occur on a wide scale until the Counter-Reformation, some 1300 years after they decided the canon at Nicea. Now, here is why some books were left out: 1) They were not read publicly in the churches. The whole point of the canon of Scripture was that Constantine offered to print books containing all the Scriptures read publicly in the churches. Why would they include books that weren't read publicly? 2) They contained doctrines that did not line up with the canons and councils of the churches. The Gospel of Mary Magdalene, that you mention, was written in the same book as the Apocryphon of John. The Apocryphon of John claims that God is really just the menstrual discharge of Sophia, and that he and his angels gang-raped Eve in the Garden of Eden. Not exactly mainstream Christian dogma. 3) They were unknown outside of small geographical area. Several "gospels" are only known from single, partial manuscripts, with no known references in any extent ancient literature. 4) They were written at a very late date. Again, the Gospel of Mary was written some 100 years after the other books of the New Testament. I'm not sure what Princeton has to do with anything. Most of the books you are talking about have always been around, and have been studied by scholars since their inception. Remember - just because you have never heard of it doesn't mean there's a conspiracy to suppress it.

Sorry, the only way to get help about custody issues is by approaching the Elders in your local Kingdom Hall.

There have been many articles in the WT but again you need to approach the brothers to get the correct references.

edit -------

I would be very leary of anything found on that web site.

Most JW's will not visit that site in obedience of the commands of Jesus, Paul and John.

Again if there is something specific you need, the only way is to visit a Kingdom Hall.

I personally have never seen said book, and was rather close to a couple who were going through it with the Wife's ex, the couple were also Witnesses. If you wish to know about the book in question try going to http://www.watchtower.org/ or call a local Kingdom Hall and ask for a copy, if they can find one, doubtful as I don't think it exists, then you can see if they can get you one.

Go to the knigdom hall we should have an article on the issue

I've never heard of that book, but why not go to the link I provide and see what you can find out?

I am sorry sweet, but I don't think we have such books, but we do have articles, such as this one CHILD CUSTODY—A BALANCED VIEW, here is the link for you. http://www.watchtower.org/library/g/1997/12/8/arti...

I would try Amazon.com. That is where I find most of my religious books. You can search by title or author, and depending on when it was published you can buy new or used.
