  advice please/data protection

  by Phoebe in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i have just received an email from an elder's wife regarding the new data protection laws.

  between the lines it sounds like she has been asked to contact me.. she says they 'don't want to leave me out' so they want me to fill out the form as 'i'm still part of the congregation'.

  also, my blood card needs updating, apparently.. the elder in charge will be in contact.. obviously, i'm not doing either, but what do i do?

  Can any of you tell me how to handle this, please?
  

  I'd ignore it and if they ask me in person I lie telling that might have gone to the spam folder.

  Interview with Dagney

  by Dagney in

  2. experiences

  tell us a little about yourself and your family.. i was born and raised in southern california, with a brief stint with parents as need-greaters in central america.

  my parents accepted a study in the d2d work, i believe my father was interested in the revolutionary aspect of the religion, and my mom said she wanted to learn the bible.

  they were baptized in 1937 i think, and attended the one and only los angeles kh at the time.

  i wasn't so sure how to add title in this topic.

  i went back to the borg, for family reasons and the concept was after a year or so to fade out.

  i m into the fade out process now.

  Does any one know, how to "change" congregation and loose the publisher files during the relocation?
  

  Start attending meetings in the new congregation. It's that simple. I have more to say but I'm afraid that might fall into the "unnecessary comments" category.

  Never ceases to amaze me the way brainwashed people work, and how they use their Jehovah nonsense to their advantage.

  by JeffT in

  2. friends

  i converted at age 22, and left 15 years later (1988) so i don't really know what its like to be in high school as a jw.

  for those of you who do know: do teenage jw's hang out with each other?

  worldly kids?

  I don't think that some JW things have changed. In school, today kids have to worry about not getting shot, so I imagine that their JW background is a secondary issue now.
