Hello,

is it a coincidence ?

This week Geoffrey Jackson made a talk in France for a New Assembly Hall

and he says ( cf https://www.reddit.com/r/exjw/comments/8oatmt/geoffrey_jackson_preparing_the_rf/ )

Now that's not really possible because in the US because you can't arrest someone with no reason like in Russia. So imagine they would make up false accusations, with false witnesses and false testimonies and all the newspaper would talk about how the GB was arrested for stealing billions of $$ to their followers. How would you react when coworker talk about it? Be ashamed? Would you believe it? Well Satan will attack us using lies. Lying about our high morality.

Maybe they will accuse us of covering child sexual abuser. Would you believe it? Surely we know those lies come from Satan."

Why he talks about "stealing billions" ,does he know something about that , or he prepares JW to accepts that GB member steal millions or thousand hundred dollars ???

Best regards

GDPR: help for PIMOs

by Fay Dehr in

we urgently need to offer "resistance strategy" help to pimos who are likely to be harassed by elders seeking their consent for wtbt$ to leech their data.

what questions could pimos ask elders, that elders would be unable to answer?

(thus buying time, because elder would need to "check with branch").

Hello,

First, I speak about russian forbid of JW ... and ask how they don't give these data to a governement or police that request an access to data ? Since on the jw site they explain they will obey to such request ...

then I start to speak about armagedon and the persecution , why the GB and WT will facilitate access to my address , phone , and other data to persecute better JW ?

After that , I tell them about ico.org.uk ( I'm french ... but i adapt it :) ) then on "ico" website i first download

https://ico.org.uk/about-the-ico/what-we-do/register-of-data-controllers/download-the-register

In the file ( tthe first is sufficient ) I look for IBSA ( important for following :) ) then I go to the ico search pages

https://ico.org.uk/ESDWebPages/Search?EC=1

I put then the data I found earlier And I have the following page

https://ico.org.uk/ESDWebPages/Entry/Z5281400

The my questions are about the need of such data

personal details
family details
lifestyle and social circumstances
membership details
goods and services
financial details
education and employment details
visual images, personal appearance and behaviour
physical or mental health details
racial or ethnic origin
religious or other beliefs of a similar nature
offences and alleged offences
criminal proceedings, outcomes and sentences
trade union membership

I think Elders don't have answer for such request for my own personal data !

Best Regards

Older Watchtowers and Awakes added on jw.org Online library

by AuntBee in

wt back to 1950, aw back to 1970, like the cd rom library... .

why?

lol.

keinlezard

Hello,

I think many thing ...

first stopping CD-ROM production ...

second ... the possibility to modify as they want the contents of old publication

remember the Rama Singh Case where WT change an Awake when Researcher Rama Singh want to assign in justice WT for missuse of his work ...

by Wonderment in

i have noticed some posters (with frustration) asking for information regarding the nwt in various language editions.

here is a list of some of the nwt revised language editions published so far:.

albanian; arabic; armenian; chinese traditional 2017; danish 2017; dutch-netherlands 2017; estonian; haitian creole; italian 2017; korean 2014; modern greek 2017; norwegian 2017; portuguese 2015; romanian; russian; swahili 2017; swedish 2017; ukrainian; vietnamese.. not yet published: .

Hello,

It sound very strange to me ... we heard of French revised version since two or three years ...

And we all know that this version is a translation of the english NWT ...

At almost every assembly we heard about this new version ... even in Watchtower or Awake we have new name and ... but new Bible and new verses ... nothing !

When we know that we have a Bethel in France ... it's a little bit curious ... where are translators ?

Or maybe where are the funds to reprint around 100 000 new version of a 1600 pages ... :)

Best regards

My impressions of the cart witnessing

by Sour Grapes in

i have watched tons of youtube videos of our exjdub friends approaching and talking to the jdub manikins at their carts as they give a great witness to the world by sipping their hot lattes, updating their social media, chit chatting to each other, and the most important thing of getting their time in, counting their hours.. when the jw's see someone approach with a camera they do several things, they will turn their backs on the person, or look at the person with a frown and act like the person isn't even there.

the witlesses refuse to answer simple, clear, and precise questions.

when i was an elder i loved to get into discussions and debates with trinitarians, priest, clergymen and those who were born again.

keinlezard

Hello,

just "impression" ?

Yesterday morning ( 19th april 2018 ) , when I go to refuel my bike , near a circle I saw one witness at 8 o'clock, one , alone ... and at this place nobody else ... In fact at this place at any time you can meet 1 or 2 persons every 2 hours :)

It's obvious , cart witnessing exists only to have "hours" and only "hours"

I suspect since the begining of this type of activity , that the first purpose of cart witnessing is to decrease number of magazine.

Why I think that ? Beacause the first time ( in France ) we have this activity , that was when we change from

4 magazine / month to 2 magazine / month ... and after from 32 pages to 16 pages ...

When I was preaching , I saw that nobody stops to see at cart nor to talk with us ...

2 hours spend for nothing only to talk with my "colleague" :)

Best regards

The right to record your judicial committee meeting

by UnshackleTheChains in

ok.. we have often heard secret recordings online of jc hearings.

but, what i would like to know is if individuals are entitled to the right of officially recording their judicial hearings?.

supposing i was to attend a judicial committee and i explained up front that i would like to record the proceedings and then place a dictaphone on the table.

keinlezard

Hello,

Here in France you can use this type of evidence.That is, you can record without consentment of other.

The best known case is the "Bettencourt" evidences ( L'oréal)

It depends of the type of trial .."pénal" or "civile" ( I don't know the exact Terms in English )

Best Regards

PS:

An Idea: You can have 2 recorders the first record and a second is a fake :)( Two smart phone for exemple )

Then when you ask for record the judicial committée, the first already record , when they refuse, you turn off the fake recorder :)

Have Watchtower changed their polices to report to police child sex abuse?

by pleaseresearch in

hi all.

just speaking to a sister about the royal commission.. she said they they have now changed their guidelines so that they now report all to the police.. really?

does anyone know if this is true?.

keinlezard

There is a video on tv.jw.org where Gary Braux said "we never change the 2 witnesses rules".

And in addition, many letters said "call legal departement" first ...

In France, in my congregation an elder says that there where 2 pedophiles affairs

one my wife .. but cannot complain to the authority because of prescription

and another one ...

He said to us , there was 2 month ... but no ... JW of my congregation seem to be concerned by this ...

All seem to be like before this "change" of policy ... in fact .. no change at all !

Hello

It's amazing !!!

What is exactly the purpose ? because after Russia forbid of JW ... this time WT ask for data ...

for me it's contradictory ... if the same thing than in Russia , get in in Europe or USA how WT explain that data of jw will be accessed by gov ?

Or armagedon is near ... or it is not ! And if the WT ask for personal data I understand that is not near :)

Latest JW.org Statistics Are Confusing & Lack Context

by steve2 in

earlier this week a new post on this forum announced that the 2017 worldwide annual service report was available on jw.org.

wow - that's earlier than the statistics for the 2016 service year which appeared in the 2017 yearbook last january!

good effort, jw organization!

keinlezard

Hello,

I had not read the main important thing with these stats

https://www.jw.org/en/jehovahs-witnesses/

See details of the global preaching work of Jehovah’s Witnesses from September 2016 to August 2017.

I think that these figures doesn't reflect exactly what is happening to the WT ... And I suspect that congregations that was close , continue to exists in these figures ... but in 2019 no need to tell that ... since there will be no year book !

Best regards
