GDPR - blood aspect and also this forum

by Isambard Crater in

i'm p.i.m.o but decided to sign the g.d.p.r form to prevent raising any red flags with the elders.

i may even use the g.d.p.r rules in the future to ask for my data, as the elders have refused to give me a copy of judicial letters from the brand about me in the past.

is this dodgy or did they have grounds to withhold the brand letters about me?.

Anyway, I'm not overly concerned my data will end up being sent from the Britain branch to a country where rules are much softer, as the J.W's would then be in breach of G.D.P.R. I'm slightly worried they will automatically apply G.D.P.R to sniffing around Publisher's medical records like it says they can do on the new Blood Card. I haven't signed the new style Blood Card, but even if I had, can they request access to medical records for no good reason, if you're not even in an accident or in Hospital?

Also, thinking about G.D.P.R more widely, do Forums like this have to do anything about it because they've technically stored names and E-Mail addresses?

Unhappy being asked to give a Disfellowshipped Sister a ride to and from Meetings

by Isambard Crater in

i'm pimo, very much against disfellowshipping, and going to a meeting leaves me feeling confused and angry at the best of times.

except an elder asked me on thursday night if i can start giving a ride to a disfellowshipped woman because she lives near me and nobody else from the hall lives in my village.

it seems the elder and his family who have been giving this woman a ride for the past six months can no longer stomach the time it takes them to go out of their way.. i thought all normal publishers weren't to have any contact with disfellowshipped people?

I'm a woman too, explaining why this Elder asked me to give the disfellowshipped woman a ride rather than ask a Brother.

When the Elder asked me on Thursday night, I did actually dig a bit and he hinted this disfellowshipped woman still smokes and is at least a year off being Reinstated.

I just didn't think J.W Elders make any exceptions for the average flock to speak to DF people, and it will be very weird having to shun this woman at the Kingdom Hall after she gets out of my car.

I thought all normal publishers weren't to have any contact with disfellowshipped people? I mean, this woman is told to sit at the back, and I was told six months ago (when I didn't know who she was) not to speak to her as she's disfellowshipped. So why are the Elders in my Kingdom Hall being relaxed about asking people to give this woman a ride? It freaks me out being told not to say a word to her before she gets in my car and not a word once she's gotten back out, but it's fine to chat to her on the car ride. What the hell? I've heard from others in the Hall that she asks weird questions and can get angry, so these are extra reasons I'm unhappy.

Synonyms of the word pioneer include discoverer, innovator and architect, but...

by Isambard Crater in

... in the j.w's it means to spend 50 or 70 hours each month in wasted time, perhaps stood at a cart that nobody pays attention to..

Oxfam sex scandal - Remind you of anyone else?

uk official warns oxfam to hand over all info on sexual misconduct scandal in haiti.

Great idea to contact Nigel Evans. He will also be shocked to see homophobia regularly promoted by J.W videos and publications.

Shouldn't the literature carts be covered by insurance?

by Isambard Crater in

i mean, they're in a public place and may get blown into someone by the wind, perhaps hurting a child.

surely because of their position, some kind of public liability insurance or similar should cover the literature carts/trolleys?

other charities like oxfam require insurance, i'm pretty sure, or a licence..

I found this and am disgusted;

I honestly don't believe my local Congregation has taken out insurance for their Carts. Might that be a possibility?

Jesus fulfilling old testament prophecies like his legs not being broken

by Isambard Crater in

what are everyone's thoughts on this, how his legs weren't broken, he was pierced with a spear and he wore a thorny crown?.

i'm pimo and very much not wanting to believe, but like the daniel statue prophecies, these ones about jesus stick in my mind and give me "hmmm, maybe" moments..
