HI, I'm new here. I noticed your other posts earlier saying you're Deaf. I'm Deaf as well.

Am I understanding that you are still an active JW?

The elders can do whatever they want. I know in my experience, they don't really do much unless a congregation is lucky enough to have a kind elder who will listen. They are bound by the WTS and their policies.

Deaf Aotearoa flooded with complaints about Jehovah's Witness church

by OrphanCrow in

deaf aotearoa flooded with complaints about jehovah's witness churchkashka tunstalllast updated 15:22, october 6 2015deaf aotearoa has asked the jehovah's witness church to respond to claims of a deaf information database.new zealand's deaf community is fed up with unsolicited house calls, claiming the jehovah's witness church is targeting deaf households.deaf aotearoa has received multiple complaints from around the country and says church members visited certain homes because they were aware a deaf person lived there.

the organisation released a statement on monday, saying it was looking into the possibility the church holds a database listing the details of members of the deaf community.jehovah witness spokesman rod spinks said there was no such database and deaf people were not being targeted.the deaf aotearoa statement was posted on the group's facebook page, and received a flood of comments from frustrated people.one woman said a group of jehovah's witnesses had come to her house and asked "for the deaf person who lives here.

" she said they refused to explain how they had her details and didn't visit her neighbours.another said church members had turned up at her work and asked for her by name.hamilton man royce flynn said he had been visited six times over the last nine months, despite repeatedly saying he was uninterested in the house calls.he said the church members were always able to sign and also brought deaf people along, which lead him to believe he was being singled out.flynn said contacted local police, who told him it was a privacy issue and referred him on to the office of the privacy commissioner.he said he had been been in contact with local labour member of parliament sue moroney.deaf aotearoa acting chief executive jill dean said complaints about the church were a recurring issue.

I'm late to the party. First of all, I'm a deaf person. I've been on both sides of this issue. JWs found me through their 'canvassing' and when I was a JW, I saw they had a list of deaf people in whatever territory.

Yes, I am aware it is similar in other languages but let me tell you this. The deaf community is not very big and pretty much everyone knows each other. Interpreters knows our private lives due to interpreting for us.

When I found out the JWs had a list of all deaf people, I asked how did they obtain the name, address, etc? They said it was through canvassing but I soon found out that some brothers and sisters obtained the information in an unethical way and broke confidentiality rules.

I take offense in how they obtained the information! I work right inside the deaf community and I'd be crucified if I ever witnessed to my clients! I refused to witness to them because I felt it was wrong for me as I was someone that they trusted to keep their information private. When I took the job at work, I was bound to ethical and confidentiality rules.

message from designer stubble to the former jwr members.

first of all i am glad to see that many of you have found your way to this great forum, facilitated by simon.

i am sure that after the dust of the jwr shutdown has settled, you will find this to be a good new home.. i would like to apologize for the sudden closure of jwr.

Whew... it took me a couple of tries to get on here. Very different way of posting replies. etc. almost not user friendly for me.

Anyhow.. Designer Stubble, thank you for the explanation. I am better known as prariesgal from JWR and i hadn't been there for a while when my best friend told me that JWR shut down.

Wow... what a shock. But, I think I am almost ready to move on. I'm much happier since I disassociated myself. I have no fear or anything of JWs. I can look at them in the eye and smile. I'm FREE!

Now I'm here as Ixonegal. If you knew me from JWR, feel free to connect with me. I am also on facebook (pm me for the name).

Warm hugs.
