curious if any of our eu-based members (especially those still in) have heard anything from official wt channels on how the organisation plans to be in compliance with gdpr ("general data protection regulations") by may 2018?
it's my understanding that religious organisations must comply, and that religious data is treated a "protected" and therefore subject to some enhance requirements.. specifically, how will they comply with the following requirements:.
you must disclose to the individual: what data you collect on them, why, and what you do with the data (including what other parties receive the data and what they do with it).
Point 2 is their escape clause. They’ll spin it to being necessary to maintain your data even though you’ve requested that they delete it.
Personal data will be collected, processed, and used only to the extent necessary to fulfill Jehovah’s Witnesses’ religious and charitable purposes.
this just breaks my heart.
one of my favorite actors.
i wonder why he went back.. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wgxx7knkwzc.
He gets to go to the Annual Meeting? I thought that was only for Uber-JWs. Oh I forgot, he’s rich & famous and lines the organisation’s pockets!

amazing how many words can be expended discussing things that people have utterly no clue about..
The only thing that makes sense there is a YouTube clip from “The Big Bang” theory!
just though i'd start a thread devoted to languages, dialects/sociolects and accents, with the idea being that posters can comment on any language, or dialect or accent of any language, on this thread.. any phrases, expressions or idioms that you find interesting are also welcome.
first, the subject of english accents came up on another thread.. the british isles have many different types of accent (although many of the dialects may be dying out), and if i start to take a closer look, i can't help but see 'patterns' .... in received pronunciation of standard english, the letter r is pronounced initially, between vowels, and after consonants, e.g.
red, arrow, break.
That’s my pet peeve in any language: the insistence on calling a place name using your own language and not the native language.
The English calling Sevilla “Seville” or the Spanish calling London “Londres”.
STOP IT!
hi all,.
a friend has a jw funeral coming up and wants some input if possible, so a copy of the latest outline would be invaluable to him when he talks to the elders, another question he and his brother, neither now jw's, wish to give a eulogy, is this allowed ?.
any advice will be greatly appreciated..
Here's the official outline to download from our friends at AvoidJW.org:
https://jw.servehttp.com/talk.php?is=S-32-E-16.pdf
It's the latest one dated February 2016.
just came across this a few minutes ago:.

it’s just been posted and is quite lengthy but it makes a change to read something from a reasonable jw!
Good point Phizzy. Why not post that in the comments as I know the JWs read them at least!
ToesUp, it’s Tom Durbridge at AvoidJW.org who does the fantastic work of getting all these things out to us, especially with all the letters. I usually get the news from that site before it’s available on the “official” one!

just watched this video on dub broadcasting website under latest videos.. the tony morris part about 18 mins into the video where he takes forever sermonizing about "seeking out ones rightly disposed to everlasting life" he goes on and on about it and then finally says "the gb have decided that there will only be 3 magazines a year for the public and no year books anymore".
firstly there must be some active dubbers asking why it took forever just to say that and secondly why another cut back?.
seems like the whole thing is just about the website now..
Yes the new "Why Study The Bible?" video is only a minute long!
Use that as a ministry presentation? Never going to happen!!
i wanted to get people's opinion on something.
how do you feel when people use illegal means while performing their activism to shed light on the watchtower.
there have been people who have illegally recorded conversations with elders and with branch offices or at meetings.
Judicial Committees are illegal meetings anyway so I think it's a great idea to record them if the accused feels forced to attend one.
why i am proud to be dutch: today the state secretary of foreign affairs had to resign because of lying about russia.. we don't accept openly liars.. g..
Absolut! Dank u wel Gorby!
