Some news from Finland! Finnish Data Protection Ombudsman has decided, that all documents written during DFing procedure must be available for the DFed person. This includes document S79, handwritten letters and desicions both at the national branch of JW’s and at congregational elders’ homes! If asked, copies must be given. Giving rewritten documents is against the law. The DFed must have access to copies of all these documents, and they may not be destroyed immediately after DFing. Magistrate Office must be informed immediately after DFing. No sensual data is allowed to be documented. This includes information About sexual and health matters. Some restricted information regarding religious matters may be recorded. Ombudsman gave his decision after a DFed man had made an inquiry. Some more DFed persons have already asked for their data. The new Religious Freedom Law is a few years old, but this is the first time JW's were forced to follow it.

Will they simply change the way jc's are done in Finland now? maybe just keep things verbal and a phone call to headquarters and just the usual verbal 'so & so is no longer a jw' from the stage or something?
