It would be 'helpful' for them to merge/delete/change the name of every congregation that has a case of child abuse. It will make it more complicated to sue them.

Any word yet on the Annual Meeting?
by careful init's just a week or two away and still no sign of the usual hype?

They've either got nothing to say or it's too expensive to televise, my money is on the cost cutting. -

EU Court Ruling Against WT on Data-Protection
by cofty intoday's london times reports on the july ruling of the eu court that forces the organisation country to comply with data protection.. the action originated in finland but the ruling will affect every eu country.
the cult tried unsuccessfully to argue that the notes taken by jws in the door-to-door work were personal and not accessed by the congregation.
the court ruled that they are acting under the auspices of the congregation and therefore they must comply with data-protection laws.. keeping lists of do-not-calls also falls under this ruling.. why does the cult always feel that it is above the law?.

I'll try again, I lost half my post
Doubter - Personal House to House notes are not accessed by anyone other than the individual publisher. What I mean by “accessed” is that they are not handed over to the elders.
Really the only thing they all have access to is the don’t not calls. This is necessary as calling when you’re told not to come back is trespassing.
From my understanding of the legislation, if you wish to make a record regarding someone then you must get their permission. If you don't want to get their permission then making records about another person is none of your business.
It's easy to see why the organization abhors this legislation. How many people would readily give their permission to allow JWs to keep bothering them. It empowers people, not the JWs.
This applies to people that request that you do not visit, you would need to get their permission to record details. -

I'm Going to Regular Meetups at LDS Church!
by Simon inyeah, i know ... who would want to step foot anywhere near a new-age religious church after being brought up a jw, right?.
i know some will already be judging me, but hold-on - it maybe even worse than you imagine!.
the group i meet-up with ... don't go inside, we never pray, we, erm, we just hang out in the car-park.. you're thinking "wtf?

It's fascinating how many people who play aren't the children / teens you'd expect -
Is this a confession? I'd be fascinated to know what you were expecting Pokemon Players to be like. -

Thanks Darth.
The figures presented show 1,075 Kingdom Halls in 2011 and 940 Kingdom Halls in 2018, a loss of 135 Kingdom Halls in seven years in Germany. Great news. -

WT Recruiting JW Solicitors (Lawyers)
by AverageJoe1 inwe all know how much the watchtower abhors "higher education" and that apparently jehovah thinks it is a big waste of time.
at least that is their official stance.
it might come as a shock to you that this month they have started a campaign drive to actually recruit jws who have higher education, specifically those who have legal training.. with all the law suits against them for creating an environment that is friendly to paedophiles, it is thus no wonder that they are in need of solicitors, especially those who are sympathetic towards the cult.. talk about hypocrisy!.

The incredible thing is that they talk down higher education. An Elder could lose his position if he has a son or daughter go to long term college. The org. even stopped supporting Bethelites from undertaking legal degrees. Yet if you are now a lawyer you are privelaged by being able to work for the GB.

That was very amusing. They said in court that Steven Unthank was not an apostate and his website was not an apostate website. This meant hat he was not mentally diseased.
I would love to know more details of that court case if anyone has a link.
