  Isn't it wonderful to see "Christendom" teach "God's earthly organization" how to deal with skeletons in the cupboard when they're exposed!!!!!

  Getting personal data erased

  by Damascus in

  2. scandals

  request for personal data erasure under gdpr refused on clause which says religious organisations can keep records.

  the following is in their privacy policy:.

  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.

  "by balancing the interests of the individual in gaining access to data or correcting or deleting data against the legitimate interests of the organization.."

  You can bet on the org agreeing to a lot of individuals' requests to delete data - due to it being in the org's "legitimate interests" to do so.

  "These outright abuses of our religious freedom are not going unnoticed,” David Semonian.
  

  Mr. Semonian, the outright abuses which your lords & masters at WTBTS/CCoJW's either conceal or demand, namely, child-rape and the severing of family ties via shunning, these abuses are not going unnoticed by the world either!

  Your autocratic organization is not as bad as Russia's government - it's worse!

  LAUGHING IN COURT

  How do court stenographers keep a straight face?
  These are from a book called "Disorder in the Court" and are things people actually said in court, word for word, taken down and published by court reporters who had the torment of staying straight-faced while the exchanges were taking place.
  ___________
  
  ATTORNEY: What gear were you in at the moment of the impact?
  WITNESS: Gucci sweats and Reeboks.
  ___________
  ATTORNEY: Are you sexually active?
  WITNESS: No, I just lie there.
  ___________
  ATTORNEY: What is your date of birth?
  WITNESS: July 18th .
  ATTORNEY: What year?
  WITNESS: Every year.
  ___________

  ATTORNEY: How old is your son, the one living with you?
  WITNESS: Thirty-eight or thirty-five, I can't remember which
  ATTORNEY: How long has he lived with you?
  WITNESS: Forty-five years.
  ___________
  ATTORNEY: Now doctor, isn’t it true that when a person dies in his sleep, he doesn't know about it until the next morning?
  WITNESS: Did you actually pass the bar exam?
  ___________
  ATTORNEY: The youngest son, the 20-year-old, how old is he?
  WITNESS: He's 20. Very close to your IQ.
  ___________
  ATTORNEY: Were you present when your picture was taken?
  WITNESS: Are you shitting me?
  ___________
  ATTORNEY: So the date of conception (of the baby) was August 8th ?

  WITNESS: Getting laid.
  ___________
  ATTORNEY: She had three children, right?
  WITNESS: Yes.
  ATTORNEY: How many were boys?
  WITNESS: None.
  ATTORNEY: Were there any girls?
  WITNESS: Your Honor, I need a different attorney. Can I get a new attorney?
  ___________
  ATTORNEY: How was your first marriage terminated?
  WITNESS: By death.
  ATTORNEY: And by whose death was it terminated?
  WITNESS: Take a guess.
  ___________
  ATTORNEY: Can you describe the individual?
  WITNESS: He was about medium height and had a beard.
  ATTORNEY: Was this a male or a female?
  WITNESS: Unless the Circus was in town I'm going with male.
  ___________
  ATTORNEY: Is your appearance here this morning pursuant to a deposition notice which I sent to your attorney?
  WITNESS: No, this is how I dress when I go to work.
  ___________
  ATTORNEY: Doctor, how many of your autopsies have you performed on dead people?
  WITNESS: All of them. The live ones put up too much of a fight.
  ___________

  ATTORNEY: ALL of your responses MUST be oral, OK? What school did you attend?
  WITNESS: Oral.
  ___________
  ATTORNEY: Do you recall the time that you examined the body?
  WITNESS: The autopsy started around 8:30 PM.
  ATTORNEY: And Mr. Denton was dead at the time?
  WITNESS: If not, he was by the time I finished.
  ___________
  ATTORNEY: Doctor, before you performed the autopsy, did you check for a pulse?
  WITNESS: No.
  ATTORNEY: Did you check for blood pressure?
  WITNESS: No.
  ATTORNEY: Did you check for breathing?
  WITNESS: No.
  ATTORNEY: So, then it is possible that the patient was alive when you began the autopsy?
  WITNESS: No.
  ATTORNEY: How can you be so sure, Doctor?
  WITNESS: Because his brain was sitting on my desk in a jar.
  ATTORNEY: I see, but could the patient have still been alive, nevertheless?
  WITNESS: Yes, it is possible that he could have been alive and practicing law.

  What do you think?

  if a decades-long apostate decides that they should marry a semi-active jw, what odds would you put on the viability of the marriage?

  if not viable, how long before the shit would hit the fan?

  jk.

  Less than a month seems a bit generous. I'd give it until they wake up in the first morning after their wedding.

  Even elders don’t know their beliefs

  by Addison0998 in

  2. beliefs

  i had a deep conversation with my elder father today about the bible.

  first i talked to him about luke 16:19-31. the one where jesus makes this crazy illustration regarding the afterlife.

  of course he had to look it up on the watchtower library to be spoon fed his beliefs.

  (Galatians 1:9) "Whoever is declaring to you as good news something beyond what you accepted, let him [the GB] be accursed."

  Millions of JW's have either gladly or reluctantly exchanged their original truths/beliefs for the "new lights" conjured up by whoever the latest governing body happens to be.

  Isn't being "in the truth" today unrecognisable from what it was years ago!!!!

  hi,i'm lost and a little sad.

  i actually like the jw faith.

  some might call this faith cold, strict, dogmatic but they're just trying to follow rules and give back to god.

  Welcome Ahava. If you'd like to read how JW doctrines actually oppose/lie about what the Bible says, PM me and I'll provide you with numerous examples of Bible versus literature teachings.

  As someone who was once a zealous JW, they convinced me 100% that the governing body of JW's is definitely not being directed God.

  The anointed ones and heaven..

  by Canadian Sunshine in

  2. beliefs

  if i am understanding correctly only 144,000 will go to heaven, to be with jesus and help rule?

  these 144,000 are witnesses only.

  there is over a million jw world wide, what happens to the rest of the faithful followers.

  Canadian Sunshine - Isn't it totally logical that Christ, after having been given all of God Almighty's power & authority, would need the help of tens of thousands of J.W.'s to resurrected to heaven to help rule the universe? (Matthew 28:8: 1 Corinthians 15:24-28)

  Especially when Revelation 5:10 clearly says (in the original Greek) that they will be upon the earth - not floating over it! (see the Kingdom Interlinear Translation of JW's for confirmation)

  i remember when that came out, my mother didn't catch it in the original article in the wt.

  it was in one of the review "do you remember" thingies that she caught it.

  she asked me if it means what she thought it meant.

  Why hasn't there been a mass exodus? My closest friend in my last congregation sums it up: "Where else can we go?"

  "Better the devil you know" attitude!
