I wonder what information is still stored about disfellowshipped ones in Europe.
And at our meeting (in the Netherlands) it was said brothers and sisters could still pass on adresses of foreign language speaking persons without their consent.

unacceptable practice of privacy laws.
the way jehovah's witnesses handle sensitive personal information is not compatible with basic human rights in a modern society.. .

forgive my english..its not my first language..... it was a cloudy afternoon as i was on my way to the hall.
as a ms meeting with 2 elders.
it was no training, no encouragement.
Well, when I realised it was all BS, I also made the choice to stay and play along. I would never be able to convince my loved ones about ttatt once I leave. So like JW GoneBad I love being a pain in the ass
have you read or know of harai, yuval n. books sapiens and homo deus.
i would appreciate your thoughts if you did.
i will be reading his book sapiens and then homo deus starting today.
His book Sapiens was a big eye opener for me. His explanation of the existence of other human species and the agricultural revolution makes so much more sense than the Genesis account. He wrote another book "21 lessons for the 21th century which is also worthwhile". Worldy wisdom makes sense!
so our family fade is well under way.
we changed congregations as regular attenders and left in good standing with those giving hugs and kisses simply knowing we "needed a change".
we moved to a neighboring congregation that is out of our original region knowing we would see no one and the two boe's wouldn't really have immediate dealings.
I respond with telling how I started to doubt reading about all the killing in Jehovah's name in the Bible for dubious reasons. How Moses life was saved from a cruel Pharao killing the baby boys and how Moses did the very same thing later with the Midianites (Nu 31)
there is a one page article in the current wt study mag, sept 2018 pg 22 with the title “do you know the time?”.
in that article it describes a number of different ways you can say the time is 1:30. it goes on to say “there are even places where that same time could be expressed as “half two,” meaning 30 minutes before two”.
what i would like to know is this, where in the world does “half 2” mean 1:30?
And the dutch language too
i guess every jw has a different conscience on the matter, and i don't believe any jw publications have ever specifically mentioned nudity in film as being off limits.
of course genitals are out of the question because that's usually relegated to r movies which most good jws don't view.
female toplessness is condoned but not spoken about, as most jws i know have seen titanic and many own it.
Nudity and sex are not ok, however violence and war are not a problem to watch. Look at the Hezekia movie.

mostly we read about the regular holidays in the western world.
now the other ones are also named, because some witnesses could be in doubt .
Oops, my mistake. I'm dutch, and did not pay enough attention at school during the english lessons

I'm interested about the pinanta festival in Mexico though. Are witnesses participating in it?
in crisis of conscience, raymond franz reproduces a letter sent to him from someone representing the governing body in which they thank him for returning the text, governing body procedure.
franz says nothing about this text any other place in the work, but i've been trying to track it down, because it sounds like another confidential manual like shepherd the flock of god.
i doubt it's been leaked (i'm shocked, pleasantly, that we even have circuit overseer guidelines, the confidential manual used by circuit overseers) but you never know.. is anyone else familiar with this work?
Anyone on the GB who likes to tell us more?
