Impact of GDPR on WT HQ and EU branches?

by respectful_observer in

curious if any of our eu-based members (especially those still in) have heard anything from official wt channels on how the organisation plans to be in compliance with gdpr ("general data protection regulations") by may 2018?

it's my understanding that religious organisations must comply, and that religious data is treated a "protected" and therefore subject to some enhance requirements.. specifically, how will they comply with the following requirements:.

you must disclose to the individual: what data you collect on them, why, and what you do with the data (including what other parties receive the data and what they do with it).

Great thread! Thanks for sharing.

A few days ago, myself and another forum member were discussing the desire to obtain any information about us that the congregation has on file.

Of course, although we may have the LEGAL right to do so, we all know the ramifications from a cong standpoint if we contact them and ask for such. - especially as we are not DF or DA, but simply stopped attending for reasons of honesty and conscience. We KNOW that such a request will put us front-and-centre in their spotlight once again...and that is the thing to weigh up. Do we want such attention again?

As a side point, check out how Paul from JW.FACTS went through such a process of requesting his confidential data some years back! It is on his website.

I agree with ingocnito's comment.

Well done PE!

We are with you through all of this.

Maintain your Dignity, Poise and Grace, and it will show through to your daughter that you are the mild and reasonable one.

After all, this is all about HER, and HER welfare.

Much love buddy!

"Brother"? Larry Graham of Sly And The Family Stone and Graham Central Station

by HappyDad in

i heard a sly and the family stone song a little while ago and out of curiosity, looked up larry graham....the innovator of the slappin and plunkin bass.

he became a jw about 1975 and was the influence for prince becoming a jw.

on his official web page is the list of his tour dates this year.

The GB know that if they condemn anything about these famous JWs, then they will get such backlash from the media and perhaps even legal penalties...

A Question of Adultery

by snugglebunny in

question: if a jw married lady is accused of adultery and a judicial committee is formed to investigate the matter, is the lady's jw husband also invited to attend as the possibly injured party?.

Oh wow Morpheus!

That is indeed some ordeal. So glad you and the rest of the JC had decided to NOT ask for specifics. That shows that you afforded her dignity.

However it seems that she was under the impression that she was obliged to "spill the beans" to such a committee. That shows the overwhelming abuse of power that the culture of the "truth" has over people... So Sad.

DUI in the New System

by neat blue dog in

when god's kingdom rules the earth, elders will be put in law enforcement capacity.

during the end of the thousand year reign when satan is let loose, the cop pulls this guy over.. "i have reason to believe you're driving under the influence of masturbation.

show me your hands.".

Winning The Battle For Your Mind Watchtower 7/15/2017

by Brokeback Watchtower in

you are under attack!

and your chief enemy, satan, is using a very dangerous weapon against you.

propaganda!

stuckinarut2

Yes, the irony is disturbing!

They are guilty of that VERY thing!

The hypocrisy is so infuriating!

As has already been quoted, the Society themselves published a famous quote:

"Education teaches one HOW to think, Propaganda TELLS one WHAT to think"

If only JWs were smart enough to see how manipulated they have been. They feel that the society is the only required source of information....so they deny themselves the opportunity to REALLY think.
