  Request Help on Information Privacy

  by Reborn2002 in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i dont know if anyone is a legal expert on this site, but i would like to request some assistance.. i da myself a few months ago, but i am certain that my old congregation maintains files on me.. for peace of mind to know that my name and all my records are removed from their sealed files and that i have absolutely nothing left there.

  ive already disavowed any affiliation with jw, i just dont want them having paperwork or information about me at ready access.. especially considering from previous experiences ive learned how greedy, deceitful, and vindictive some can be.. how can i send a letter or make a request that all information in their congregation files with my name or information be removed?.

  any help would be greatly appreciated.. .

  well, i just got home and im piping madd.. im laughing about it as well though because i outsmarted them at their own game and got a rant off my chest.. heres what happened.

  an acquaintance i used to go to the hall with.. who is also 3 years younger than me asked me for money about 6 months ago.. at the time, i loaned him $50 to get the tires on his car fixed.

  in that time period, not only did he move out of his parents house to an undisclosed location because he decided to stop going to the kh.. but i also da myself in that time frame.. due to the fact he moved out, i havent been able to reach him.. i tried calling his parents home to discover his current location or at least to tell them if he contacts them, to be sure to have him reach me because he owes me money.. no response.

  Hypocrisy Within My Own Family

  by Reborn2002 in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  yesterday my brother (ever-loyal witness baptized same day as me 10 years ago; who is married to a holier-than-thou regular pioneer and subsequently with her encouragement has since avoided me as much as possible since i da myself) and his wife (see description above) came over to visit.. well.. shooting the proverbial shit, we got to the topic of movies.

  asking politely if he or his wife had seen lord of the rings.. she interjected that it was inappropriate because it suggested wizardry and spiritism, and would never see such filth.

  trying very hard to remain polite, my mom noticed the pause and said if they wanted to borrow any movies we have on tape to watch at home.. sneaky as i am, while they flapped their gums with my parents i glanced in the bag to see what they borrowed.. they took:.

  Practice of JW concerning Facial Hair

  by Reborn2002 in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  im relatively new to the board, but i wanted other people's opinions.. growing up in "the organization" i pretty much blindly adhered to all instruction as a teenager.. as i got a little older, as most here im sure, i began to see how some practices were imposed on the flock without any biblical backing.. one that bugged the living hell out of me was the restriction of being allowed to grow facial hair.. i was literally removed from carrying the mics and reading at bookstudy because my sideburns were too long and i wanted to grow a goatee, hence i often showed up with stubble.

  i was taken to the back room and told i was being "too worldly.

  " when i questioned the elders why it was unallowed by the society and that i wanted scriptural evidence and backing for their imposed regulations, i was scoffed at and told i should do as i am told.. i told them where they could stick their "priviledges" .

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  which relatively recent awake issue provided the info on the un where they discussed in detail the "declaration of human rights" where the wt seemed to be kissing up to the un?

  no doubt this article was to please their bosses at the time to satisfy ngo requirements.. my bro and mom are still jw and i want to show them for myself.. please help.. the true kingdom of god is located in your heart, not an organization of hypocrites.. www.geocities.com/latinloverchicago/jason1.html for my new webpage and info!!

  im trying to live now!

  A New Guy from Chicago with a Story to Tell

  by Reborn2002 in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  first of all id like to say hello to everyone on this website, and to thank and acknowledge each and every one of you for your individuality, personal experience, and in some cases, commitment to truth.. having read some of the heartfelt topics and posts here have served to be a great encouragement to me, more than some could imagine.

  my name is jason, and i am a recovering ex-jw.. i guess this would be an ideal time to tell my life story as an abbreviated version, so here goes.. i was "born into, or raised" in the organization.

  my grandfather was an elder for 45 years, and served as one of the very first jw in the south chicagoland suburbs.
