Violation of the data protection law in Spain. GDPR

by Blade R in

according to the resolution of the data protection agency, the information was used for other purposes than those authorized.. the data protection agency has imposed a fine of 10,000 euros to jehovah's witnesses for collecting data from doctors and patients without prior authorization.. the religious institution has a hospital liaison committee (ceh) in each province that visits the hospitals to find out the degree of collaboration of the medical staff according to the beliefs of the jehovah's witnesses, "which is only realization of surgeries without transfusions ", is included in the resolution of the agency to which medical drafting has had access.. when compiling these data, as demonstrated by the resolution, the members of the committees overreached their duties, gathering information without requesting the relevant permission stipulated by law.

the jehovah's witnesses have filed an appeal after the ruling but it has not been accepted.. without consent.

in the document, the existence of data that have been "stored and conserved, and imply the processing of data without consent that is imputed, estimating that they are part of a file, are related as rights basics".

this is my first post.

i feel intimidated because i don't really know computers to well and i hope that i don't break any rules.

i became a jw in 1981. i left in 91. i have so many questions.

There is no formal record of this but there is such a thing as a "green hand shake" that circuit overseers Avail themselves of while they're making their tour of the congregations and I suspect that the governing body is not exempt from this practice but there is no record of this either.

Halls closing

in my city philadelphia they closed many kingdom halls.

my hall was desolved and most of the publishers were added to a congregation that only had 50 publishers.

.

Some IT skilled individual needs to come up with a website that tallies all hall closings worldwide so we can perpetually keep tabs on what's going on.

Wait, jw.org probably already has that for us.

Let's go check and see.

Kingdom halls.. the demise of..

by zeb in

would some kind soul create a site listing as best they know the names of and the countries where kh have been closed and sold.. ie 31-6-2017, mount tall cong, north kameria.. it seems like the kh are being sold off in a lemming like rush to the cliffs..

Perhaps then we should merge the threads

"No more than 40 years"

by dynamiterose77 in

in another corner of the internet someone stated that witnesses are proclaiming that this system will be no more than 40 years now... that "gog of magog" will start the great tribulation.

can anyone confirm this latest "prediction"?.

In 1941 recipients of the book children by then President Rutherford were told that Armageddon was months and not years away

goads?

by road to nowhere in

the part this in the midweek meeting had a lot of questions about what a goad is.

probably 10 of 15 minutes spent on it.

and they said it was a stick with a metal point, which i doubt what with metal being costly, and a sharpened stick would do as well.. maybe next week we can learn about whips as in "we will keep whipping you until morale improves".
