https://businessday.ng/news/article...es-linguistic-diversity-use-of-mother-tongue/ just to add something here....I think so, too, Surfergirl!! It's about legally protecting themselves. Which I found appalling during our conversation because I had given them a list of legal questions I wanted the answers to. They had emailed the entire congregation asking everyone to respond and list their name, age, gender, covid-19 status (whether you've tested positive or not), and vaccination status (and how many vaccines you've had)!! I asked, "What is this information being used for? Where is it being stored? Who has access to it?' etc. Those are all questions they are legally required to inform me of, according to my country's laws!
Now, the first thing they said during the conversation was that I was legally obligated to inform them if I was recording the conversation. But then when I asked them to answer my questions they first denied that the email was ever sent and said they would never ask for such information! I had to pull up the email and read it directly to them; showing clearly it had been forwarded to the entire congregation list. They then said it was for "statistics." When I asked what the statistic would possibly be for, they said, "We aren't lawyers. We don't know all the answers to these legal questions. We can't help you with it." ...But somehow they know about legally protecting themselves? ie, not being recorded?! So they know about their rights, but don't care about others'?? I explained that personal medical information collections, where we live, is required to be fully informed and people have to know why it is being collected, to which they responded, "Well, none of that is medical information." I said, "Excuse me? Yes it is." And they said, "No. Vaccination status isn't medical information. It's just not!"
Okay then! People are being violated!! But these people just don't seem to care/think about it!!!
PS. I think I'll actually start a new thread on this topic alone because it's so crazy.
