on 10 june 2019, the finnish jw organization lodged an application against finland with the european court of human rights.
the case was quickly - by the court's standards - communicated to the finnish government on 10 december 2019. the complaint itself isn't available online but there is a brief summary (see the link above) prepared by the court:.
the application concerns the jehovah’s witnesses’ religious activities in finland and their compatibility with the data protection regulations.
Something just occurred to me…
…maybe they’ve realized that the Rising Tide of legal troubles is unstoppable at this point, and they hope that if they provoke Satan’s World just enough to trigger mass “persecution” across the board, Jehovah will step in and bail them out with the Big A.

does anyone have a pdf copy of the 800-page book (or reference manual?
) "jehovah's witnesses and disfellowshipping"?.

Once again, for the newbies, lurkers, and trolls…
…if you have cheat to defend your beliefs, your beliefs don’t deserve to be defended.
do you remember the jw.org book of revelation and how many times we had to study it?
in retrospect, all those hours turned out to be for nothing, the explanation of the prophecies is now completely outdated..
Hmm.
Maybe the reason they discontinued the Revelation Climax study is ‘cause they knew that eventually, they’d get into a degree of legal trouble that would call their eschatology into question.

re. dropoffyourkeylee’s post…
Every villain is the hero of his own story.
'the spokesperson also said that church elders are told to report any allegations of child sexual abuse to the authorities immediately, even if there is only one complainant.'.

is this true?
And if the Branch tells them to report, they’ve been advised to go into another town, report anonymously, using a pay phone.
Anybody wanna hazard a guess how often tips like that get investigated (or even taken seriously, FTM)?
Or - more importantly - whether or not the Branch knows how often?

This, IMO, may be coming back to bite them on the ass in a very unexpected way, now.
We studied the Revelation Climax book so thoroughly that the sequence of events is kinda set in stone…
…and in old Freddy Franz’s End Times interpretation, “Babylon the Great” gets attacked by the “Wild Beast” first, whilst Jehovah’s Witnesses are supposedly attacked last.
Yet, it’s the Watchtower that currently seems to be under siege…
…and as much as organized religion seems to be genuinely in decline overall, “Babylon” keeps on keepin’ on.
I could be wrong.
a well-done news story.
the original watchtower organization is incorporated in pennsylvania, and the state has taken on the catholic church successfully.
this is a case worth watching!
Even Fox News, now.
Still gobsmacked.
we seem to have had an influx of religiots - the people who want to tell us all about how we / the wts / whoever are wrong, wrong, wrong about everything and how right they are.
they obviously have special insight, or voices (probably voices, right?
) telling them the real truth.. as proof, there is inevitably a wall of random scripture references and quotes.. sorry, but we're not here for that.
Maybe word got around that most folks here were XJWs, and the religiots thought they could find some fresh meat.
Fortunately for us, the WTS has already done a pretty effective job inoculating most of us against any other flavour of religious expression (credit where credit’s due).

just heard this on a radio station's advert..
I keep trying to join the conspiracy, but no one returns my calls. 🙁

Not to mention that going around jabbing folks with a stick and then whining when someone finally gives you a black eye for it doesn’t make you a victim.
It just makes you an asshole.
