They've given themselves a out for refusing to give you your data if you ask for it

by purrpurr in

from the jw.org global data page.

"upon receipt of your written request, after you provide sufficient evidence of your identity and enough information to permit us to identify your personal data, the applicable data controller will fairly consider granting the request by balancing the interests of the individual in gaining access to data or correcting or deleting data against the legitimate interests of the organization, including whether granting the request would endanger the organization’s right to religious freedom and practice.

we will also notify any third-party recipients of the necessary changes.. please note that your data may not be erased if processing is required by law or if the data may be kept on other legal bases.

For example, the religious organization has an interest in permanently maintaining data regarding an individual’s status as one of Jehovah’s Witnesses. Deleting such information would unduly infringe on the organization’s religious beliefs and practices.

Really WT...REALLY? If you deleted information regarding MY status as JDubya exactly HOW would that infringe on YOUR beliefs and practices? Unless of course you want to make sure that someone DF'd is going to be actively shunned and you could not do THAT without maintaining a permanent record to trot that information out any time someone might say "Hello" to a DF'd person!

WOW! Adam and Noah were the same generation.

by FedUpJW in

this little nugget was found in the wt this morning, although 99.9% of people will not see it the same way i did.

"how did noah hear about jehovah?

he no doubt learned much from his relatives.

This little nugget was found in the WT this morning, although 99.9% of people will not see it the same way I did.

"How did Noah hear about Jehovah? He no doubt learned much from his relatives. These included his father, Lamech, whose life overlapped Adam’s ,and his great-great-grandfather Jared, whose life overlapped Noah’s by 366 years."

So I guess Adam and Noah had to be the same generation as Adam's life overlapped Lamech and Jared, whose lives overlapped Noah's by centuries...not just a few years. Yep I got it. Clear as mud!

Lies from the watchtower

by StephaneLaliberte in

i am interested in getting a list of lies that the watchtower has said or wrote in the past that could actually be proven to be as such, or, for the very least, deliberately misleading.

1. in a morning worship lecture in 2015, stephen lett said .

"rejecting false stories designed to separate us from jehovah's organization.

...Jackson at ARC - presumptuous to claiming GB to be the sole channel to the divine

I like to see how words are used. As such there is a word that is usually left out of this quote. That word is "seem". Jackson said it may SEEM presumptuous to claim to be the sole channel. In that light what he said is completely different than what he meant. He never said it WAS presumptuous to make that claim. Just my 2¢ worth.

Jehovah's Witnesses are sex crazed paranoid maniacs that need a hobby

And yet the hypocrites have the nerve to call the "world" sex-crazed.

April 2018 Broadcast - normal weird stuff

by Listener in

we hear a story regarding the life of thomas and emma.

she states that "when thomas and i first learnt that i was pregnant, we were both really shocked" she doesn't explain why they were both really shocked but it seems an odd reaction unless they were using the safest contraception invented or hadn't been told about the bird and the bees.two experiences that touched the heart of gb sanderson were as follows -.

in russia a jw was jailed for 6 months, the jailers did everything to try to undermine his faith, which included violence.

HQ now being short of cash...have had a light bulb moment and...are using product placement as the way forward for their desperate cult...

To target their consumer with product placement most effectively I would suppose they would need to use cheap beer, fattening fast foods, and cleaning supplies?

Memorial Attendance ???

by Phizzy in

hi all, anybody any anecdotal or actual idea of how attendance numbers went this year ?.

there are hints that it is well down, but is it ?

and if it is, will the borg stop crowing about the attendance as they always have ?.

FedUpJW

For the fourth year in a row attendance was down where I went. Average drop per year has been 10. That is a forty person drop. Nothing there to brag about.

The right to record your judicial committee meeting

by UnshackleTheChains in

ok.. we have often heard secret recordings online of jc hearings.

but, what i would like to know is if individuals are entitled to the right of officially recording their judicial hearings?.

supposing i was to attend a judicial committee and i explained up front that i would like to record the proceedings and then place a dictaphone on the table.

FedUpJW

But, what I would like to know is if individuals are entitled to the right of officially recording their Judicial hearings?

Sure you can...but the second the recorder comes out the judicial meeting will end.

Another JDub fairy tail

by Sour Grapes in

now that the talks for this summer's conventions are available online i read through them and they could have been written in the early 70's...same thing no changes.. talk #50 "future events will require courage - the final test" illustrates how jdubs have lost so many brain cells by studying the watchtower and going to meetings that they will not even think about the reasonableness of what the speaker will be saying....they will just be a crowd of bobbleheads.. the outline says "at the end of christ's thousand year reign, satan will be released "for a little while".

the devil will convince some perfect humans to rebel.

" my question is how many is some?

FedUpJW

After all of the work to be in a beautiful paradise, God has once again will have to destroy billions of people. Maybe this will be the last time.

The key word being MAYBE. The flood didn't do it...Armageddon won't do it...why should we think the thousand year test (if there is one) will do it?

You MUST Sign the Data Collection Form "...obey...whether these appear sound from a strategic or human standpoint or not.¨"

by gone for good in

the many and complex issues surrounding the collection of person data and new laws aiming to protect individuals control of their own privacy, seem to have hatched about the same time as the governing body expressed their hope that it´s own 8 million would obey their order to "sign this form" effectively transfering total authority over privacy and data issues over to the borg.. what are your thoughts on this coincidence?.

zuckerberg lost billion$$ when people realized that he had prostituted their personal data and now wt wants the same signed access that he had to info that is $$$.... wt already owns all the real estate and now wants to own all the data.... it´s a current and global issue - please share your thought with the rest of us here.. .

FedUpJW

Poppy cock. Thats all legal disclaimer and mumbo jumbo. The org dosent collect any of that. Notice all the uses of “may”. Again... relax. This is nothing.

Normally you and I are pretty well on the same page. However, in this case I wonder if the use of the word "may" is just as innocuous as every other use of "may" by WT where "may" and "should" become WT marching orders?

Of course I will admit that I am much more cautious than anyone else I personally know about loss of personal data, even to the point of shredding anything with my name on it that needs to go in the waste.
