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.

At first when I saw this posted 6 hours ago elsewhere, I thought it a hoax or someones grand delusion.
Then I did what I always do when I have a question about anything wt anymore: I called general counsel. (This is probably between my 10th and 15th call now on various items of merit.)
Hello, this is me again and I surely recognize your voice as the gentleman who has placed me on hold for several of my calls, in order to summons the man I've been speaking to since I started my calls several months ago....it is appreciated. I'm quite positive you recall who I am. {i gave him no room to reply} I went right into the target of my call....this EPIC DAY of OUTSIDERS ACTUALLY BEING ABLE TO READ THIS DEATH INSANE BOOK OF MANIFESTATION OF LETHAL POLICIES AND THE FOSTERING OF HATE, AS AN "ORGANIZED RELIGION".
Before he could put me on hold:
Are you aware of the news release that Finlands Minister of Justice has ordered the organization there to TURN OVER THE ELDERS MANUEL? I did not believe it myself when I first saw this right now sir. In fact, I was not even going to log in today yet did and this was the first item I laid my eyes on. I had to check it out for myself, via WTBTS so that is why I'm calling, today. IS THIS STORY TRUE?
Ha! He didn't even say, please hold, he just put the music on, to my relief. So about two mins go by and THE GUY gets on:
we will not be able to take THIS call TODAY maam. it is not a subject we are going to get into over the phone.
well, i say, sir, this is serious and i'm looking for serious feedback from wt directly on this subject. YOU ARE WELL AWARE THAT THIS IS NOT THE BEST THING THAT COULD BE HAPPENING RIGHT NOW. BUT IT IS THE BEST DAY IN MANY LIVES THAT YOUR ORG HAS RUINED BY THESE SECRET POLICIES THE WORLD WILL NOW BE ABLE TO [[ W I T N E S S ]]. IT STARTS WITH FINLAND.
This time, I HUNG UP WITH A SLIGHT CHUCKLES OF LAUGHTER SAYING: NO ONE HAS WAITED FOR A DAY LIKE THIS, MORE THAN ME SIR. YOUR ORG IS ABOUT TO SUFFER SERIOUS DAMAGE. YOUR SECRET BOOKS WILL BE REVEALED. YOU WILL ANSWER FEEDBACK SIR. YOU WILL HAVE NO MORE OF A CHOICE NOT TO. BYE.
