  Until now, only senior members of the Jehovah’s Witnesses Committee have had access to the congregation's secret book of rules.

  The disciplinary activities of the Jehovah's Witnesses Committee have been criticised for violating human rights.

  According to Anna-Maja Henriksson, Finland's Minister of Justice, the purpose of the handover is to examine the book and determine whether its rules and regulations run counter to Finnish law.

  Henriksson and Interior Minister Päivi Räsänen met on Thursday with the leadership of the Jehovah's Witnesses in Helsinki. The book will be handed over on Friday for inspection.

  According to representatives of the Jehovah's Witnesses, committee practices have been changed recently and the committee no longer addresses or interferes in the matters of its members that are considered to go against church guidelines.

  Surprised though, that a serious newspaper use a somewhat inaccurate term as Jehovah church instead of the proper name of the organization involved.

  i hear many people on this forum say that kh's don't have windows.

  but i have never been to one that didn't have windows.

  I'm Shocked The Jehovah's Witnesses Even Allow Their Kids To Go To Mainstream Schools.

  judging by the material that my kid brings home on a daily basis in copius amounts.

  everything about everything in elementary school goes against the doctrines of the jehovah's witnesses.

  how do jw's expect to make any money if all of their kids are defecting the jw's?

  I see many JWs leading a rather full life at the same time being active... So did I when I was in. Visited a lot of countries, read many books, (including all the WT literature), watched TV, went to the movies...
