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").
I've been rehearsing in my head how I'm gonna say no - and as always the Fall Guy's idea is really top notch. That is my favoured plan.
But ... I do like Beth Sarim's "keep forgetting" - I don't do passive-aggressive very often as I wear my heart on my sleeve and give both barrels when I really shouldn't.
But that would be so delicious - "irritating the glorious" ones ad infinitum.
Hmmm. Choices.
in spain (and the rest of europe), the "improved" data protection laws come into force on 25th may 2018. this is a good thing and sadly america is still lagging behind; not surprising with their current president!.
watchtower legal department are hot on the case and have instructed elders to hand out the new "release" forms out to all the publishers in their groups, whilst making it clear to them that they won't have any privileges if they refuse to do so!.
note these points in the instructions:.

I think record cards are exempt (in England anyway) because some years (decades?) ago we all signed a record card saying that our hours etc. could be kept by the BoE.
we have the account of god changing our languages and thus we all separated all over the world.. i wonder how different, maybe even peaceful if god didn't do that.. looking at the story now it seems pathetic that he needed to do this to stop men wanting to reach the heavens to take a sneaky peek at him.
we've been much further than mankind back then could have ever imagined and god isn't visible.. but yeah how different would history have been if this account never happened..
Non dub: So why didn't Jehovah just wipe out Satan there and then in Eden?
Dub: Good question! But if he had then all the onlooking angels would have wondered if Satan was right - so Jehovah "lovingly" allows him to rule mankind with no interference to show how rubbish he is at it!
Non-dub: So is that why Jehovah didn't stop the Xmas 2004 Tsunami which killed 250,000 people? Or the stop the genocide of millions in the holocaust?
Dub: That's right!
Non-dub: But he did get involved when he confused the languages at the Tower of Babel didn't he?
Dub: Errr ....
Non-dub: Not to mention the Flood! Jah loves floods doesn't he?
Dub: "I'm not listening. La-la-la-la!"

What's the JW Scandinavia reference Kevin?
most jws don't see this as a problem.
they reason that.
just like the jws, the police will not convict a pedophile over the story of one victim alone, there must be collaborative evidence.
Carla.
This has happened. A pioneer (what else? ) over a period of decades had a reputation for being over familiar with sisters and there were rumours of sexual activity and relationships with female bible studies - and at least one sister in the congregation. It took decades for him to get caught and dfd.
Basically the sister confessed to her adultery with him. He said it was a fantasy on her part.
She had a reproof and nothing happened to him. Years later a "bible study" came forward and he denied but got DF'd on the basis of there being more than one witness.
Don't forget you can have "two witnesses" to separate but similar events to make it count in JW land. (Usually collusion is checked out) This was not always the case.
This is how smokers are sometimes caught when they deny. And if on two separate occasions with separate victims a jw pedo is caught he can be done judicially even with no confession.

Well duh! He's magical.
roll call for the benefit of newbies and lurkers.
in one sentence tell why you left the org.
not 2 sentences.
Unwritten rules and regulations always rankled but were trumped by the "generation" false prophecies; the A.R.C. sealed the deal.
paying for the sins of their church.
australians are becoming less religious so congregations are getting smaller.
that means there are fewer parishioners to contribute money.. ..."they're simply looking at the dollars they can reap from the sale of this wonderful old building and i simply don't feel that i should be spending my weekends keeping the view clear," mr thomas said.. ...the royal commission into child sexual abuse exposed widespread paedophilia within religion and concluded that its leaders were at times weak, ineffectual, and even complicit.. http://www.abc.net.au/news/2018-03-30/paying-for-the-sins-of-their-church/9586602.
Err ... no Morpheus.
The OP posted "Religion" - not "jw's" on a forum where both jw's and ex-jw's are welcome. No fake news there.
so i’ve been dating my boyfriend for over a year.

he hasn’t kept in contact with his family because he was disfellowshipped and hasn’t gone to any meetings.
Family unlikely to meet him for dinner, he's df'd carla,
