the uk are tightening up their data protection laws to make it easier for individuals to get hold of the information organisations hold on them and to get it deleted.. i think paul grundy (jwfacts) went through this with wt once and found it very time consuming and difficult.. will wt now abide by the law and hand over or permanently delete the records it keeps when requested?it would mean every uk exjw could have their report card info, personal file with age, sex, baptism date, judicial information, appointment/deletion/disfellowshipping dates, letters of disassociation, letters of recommendation when you move, phone number and address permanently removed.
anyone acting for the wt (elders) who retain this information, eg your phone number in their phone or the secretary keeping your historical monthly report details, will be in violation.
failure to comply will incur a fine.. expect a letter to all boe's any time soon explaining why this does not apply to them.. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-40826062.
when i cleared out my late fathers house--i came across a large cardboard box full of what looked like report cards and other bumf. it looked like records of members of his congregation. unfortunately i accidentally took it to the dump along with 50+years worth of old watchtower magazines and books.
whoops.
there is a plethora of convention photos on my instagram this morning.
(a lot of my jw friends have forgotten i'm on their followers list) .
smiling faces standing next to convention posters with comments like 'nope, i'm not giving up.
the last big assembly i attended--in the UK---was at the old wembley stadium ( london ) about 69--or 70 i think.
it seemed to rain all the time.
i vowed i would never attend another.
i kept that promise.

i was recently told this by a jw family member when trying to get through to them.
does this quote indicate that maybe such ones have considered that the jw's may not have the truth after all?
or is that just my wishful thinking?
i think i could be a dub again--if only i didnt have to shun people...go to meetings--or even worse:arsemblies. or go door knocking.
i suppose belief in a god would be a help too.
well--at least i dont smoke anymore--so i'm half way there.
i've had the misfortune to encounter quite a few mummies boys in the cult.
men aged 20-40 who although in men's bodies think,act and behave like children.
their mother's had them tied to the apron strings tightly.
most dub males are merely puppets. mum or wife has her hand up his arse pulling the strings.
ok, so try and follow me here.... according to jw doctrinal teachings, the gb are "christ's brothers".
humans are all "god's children".
so does that make the gb our "uncles"?.
so--the GB are christs brothers now ?
but jesus is the son of god. so are the GB also gods sons ?
i bring this up because of an article in the supplement of the sunday mail in victoria australia "stellar" that pregnant serena williams is a devout (ihate that word ) jehovahs witness.
i have sent a letter to the editor about it ,i wonder if it gets published.. has the wt ever distanced themselves from the claims that serena herself has claimed to be a witness ?
when accepting a win in one of her succesful matches ?.
i wonder how many baptised dubs still claim to be one after being df ?
what are your convictions now that you are no longer one of jehovah's witnesses?
are you a born again christian?
have you joined another denomination of christianity?
i believe in beer.
i am pimo but attended the r.c yesterday for family pressure reasons.
a "sister" i've not seen for a while told me her husband is overjoyed because a man he called on recently in the field service suddenly told him he wanted to attend the r.c.
the unusual thing is, this man is a millionaire having built a property portfolio.
was it nicholas van hoogstraaten ? the watchtower are welcome to him. ideal.
my punt 16144 , do you like my last three numbers !.
what will the watchtower do when the total partakers exceed 144,000 ?
