Finland's Supreme Administrative Court (KHO) ruled that private data gathering door-to-door by Jehovah’s Witnesses is illegal without prior consent. The ruling by Finland’s Supreme Administrative Court follows a review of the practice requested from the European Court Justice. In July, the ECJ published its opinion, saying that the practice of Jehovah’s Witnesses collecting personal information as members proselytise door-to-door is illegal, because the organisation is effectively compiling a personal data register, which should comply with data protection regulations. Finland's KHO has now concurred, saying that the creation of name lists and the taking of notes containing personal information during the group's missionary activities always requires the consent of those whose data is being gathered. The issue has been under scrutiny since 2013, when a data protection board under the Justice Ministry ruled that the Jehovah’s Witnesses' practice of collecting personal data violated the law. However, that was followed in 2014 by a ruling by the Helsinki Administrative Court that the religious group’s personal register was not illegal. Following the Supreme Administrative Court's decision to ban the practice, the Interior Ministry's Data Protection Board has now given the Jehovah's Witnesses a six month deadline to ensure that personal information is no longer gathered for the group's own purposes.

Elders have received numerous emails/letters about not listening to news unless its straight from JW.org. No big deal right? WRONG its apparently SO BAD that am Elder in a nearby congregation said HE DIDN'T BELIEVE THE KINGDOM HALL IN WASHINGTON HAD BURNT DOWN because it was only on worldly sources like CNN and not JW.org... seriously. He said he wont trust it until he sees it on JW.org.

However, for the defense, there was a question of Jim Melgar’s blood. Sandy Melgar's attorneys argued that her hands were clean and that there was no sign anyone had cleaned up in the house. There were also no injuries on her hands and none of her nails was even chipped or broken.

“I know that she did not do this,” the couple's daughter, Elizabeth "Lizz" Melgar Rose, told “20/20.” “I'm going to continue to fight until we can prove that.”

Wow! This in just 40 years. Meanwhile America has been talking about someday somewhere we should think about building one high speed rail line. Oh... and that hasn't happened. One state recently tried to speed up an existing rail line recently and it derailed on the first day.

Why can't they just call it what it is? "Involuntary manslaughter".... Yes... "Murder" covers a wide range .... but in this case it would have been more professional to be exact. This was clearly a mistake.

Jehovah's Witnesses Financial Downsizing Video
Jack Ryan replied to Jack Ryan's topic in Jehovah’s Witnesses's Topics
Pretty soon it’ll be: “Faithful Christian parents of selfless Bethelite volunteers cheerfully provide their devoted children physical food for the nourishment of their bodies, while Jehovah graciously sustains them spiritually. A faithful brother in Norway cheerfully notes, “ It’s a privilege to send food to my adult children who are working hard for Jehovah and the brotherhood around the world alongside so many of Jehovah’s young faithful ones. Its a blessing from Jehovah to be able to aleve the Society of this burden.”- 54 replies
