This has been copied and pasted from the Watchtower CD ROM for the reason (why)-- But even if one of our children would have been born handicapped , we love and look after them just the same because that's what God expects from us! But we do believe that the time is coming where Gods kingdom will come, his Will - will take place on earth as it is in heaven and during that time The Bible says in Revelation 21v3-4 With that I heard a loud voice from the throne say: "Look! The tent of God is with mankind, and he will reside with them, and they will be his peoples. And God himself will be with them. 4 And he will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore. The former things have passed away."(Including Birth defects)those individuals will be given perfect health so they can learn to love Almighty God.
God does not cause such defects. He created the first human pair perfect, with the ability to bring forth perfect children in their own likeness.---Gen. 1:27, 28.
We have inherited sin from Adam. That inheritance carries with it the potential for physical and mental defects. (Rom. 5:12; for further details see page 394.) This inheritance of sin is with us from the time of conception in the womb. It is for that reason that King David wrote: "In sin my mother conceived me." (Ps. 51:5) If Adam had not sinned, there would be only desirable traits to transmit. (For comments on John 9:1, 2, see page 319.)
Parents can harm their unborn offspring---for example, by drug abuse or by smoking during pregnancy. Of course, it is not true that in every case the mother or the father is responsible for birth defects or poor health of their child.
Jehovah lovingly extends to children the benefits of Christ's ransom sacrifice. Out of consideration for parents who faithfully serve God, he views their young children as holy. (1 Cor. 7:14) This motivates God-fearing parents to be careful about their own standing with God, out of loving concern for their offspring. To young ones who are old enough to exercise faith and demonstrate obedience to God's commands, Jehovah extends the privilege of having an approved standing as his servants. (Ps. 119:9; 148:12, 13; Acts 16:1-3) It is noteworthy that Jesus, who was a perfect reflection of his Father, showed special interest in the welfare of young ones, even raising a child from the dead. Surely he will continue to do that as Messianic King.---Matt. 19:13-15; Luke 8:41, 42, 49-56.

Are Jehovah's witnesses allowed to attend prom?
Allowed is too strong of a term. Young witnesses are discouraged from attending school dances such as the prom because of the extra association with those who may not share their views on morality and bible principles. It would be up to the parents and if they defer, it would be up to the young witness.
