Do the WTS actually destroy all of your records if requested?

by Thoughtless in

hello, sorry for the multiple posts, but this has also been a question of mine to ask.. .

does the wts actually destroy your files if you request them to after you get df'd?

i honestly do not believe so, yet i feel as if you cannot call them on their bs if you do.

Hi Thoughtless. Are you in the UK? if so you can send them a notice under S.10 of the data protection act asking them to delete your records on the grounds it is causing damageor distress. You might not even have t o do that as religious information is classed as sensitive personal data and the only legal grounds they would have is your explicit permission (since you're no longer a member and have no regular conact with them.

The Uk act is based on EU law so other european countries should have similar arrangements.

Outside of the EU i cant help you.

Best wishes

At the DC they were specific that the 700 JWs are in prison in South Korea for not joining the army. Would be interesting to know how many other conscientious objectors are in prison in South Korea.

now gays can have the joy of divorce, alimony and child support in all the states that allow such joy!!!

enjoy, you deserve the right to these things and selfish straight people have been holding on to such wonderful rights for far too long.

now get those lawyers ready, let the real battles rage and see what comes from all those marriages you fought to hard and strong for.

Well said Backseat Devil!

And by the way I'm still laughing at your first post on this thread.

"I won't watch HOW I MET YOUR MOTHER" because Neil Patrick Harris is gay"

by OnTheWayOut in

that's what my jw mother said.

folks, there are plenty of reasons not to watch how i met your mother, but a gay actor playing a straight part is not one of them.

i should give her a list of known gay actors and ruin a bunch of movies and t.v.

krejames

This kind of attitude is typical in witness land and it annoys the hell out of me. I used to say that if they were not gay, they were probably fornicators anyway. That used to shut most people up.

spirituk - as others have already said, you will be able to move on eventually even if you cannot imagine it now. Surround yourself with positive people, those you can have fun with and talk to.

Time for this Newbie to say - Hello everyone!

by SeventhSojourn in

in just the several months i've been lurking here, i have benefited from many of the posters comments and viewpoints.

this is truly a special place for the unique community that has been created here.. after years of holding off my exit from the org (that may be another post) i recently became officially out (by letter of da), but it was a very difficult process as many of you know.

thankfully, i now have my wife (was also a witness) onboard and we support each other.

Are there people who have returned

by His Excellency in

friends

considering all the consequences of leaving the organization (especially the loss of family), some who have already known ttat have decided to return and continue with the flow just to keep their families and friend.. my question is if anyone here had tried it and how they have been managing living a lie constantly day-after-day?, as i am seriously considering returnning back to the full routine..

krejames

I went back after a successful year-long fade. It was like going back to prison after having a short time of freedom. it was full on. judicial committee followed by weekly visits from the elders. Tried going on service and felt like the biggest hypocrite. Nearly two years later, I'm now well along into my second fade and it is much more difficult second time around. Already had a call from an elder this morning before work! by all means go back if you think you can believe it again but if not you're in for an unhappy ride.
