  Thanks Amazing for posting this. I wish I could have gone, I think it would have done me a world of good. I hope I can attend next year.

  but I can say that there is a large Hispanic contingent that are on the verge of pulling together and are leaving the WTS. Hispanics have been a strong grass roots support for Watchtower growth ... and the Society is starting to lose the trust of Hispanic JWs.

  You have no idea how happy I am to hear of this. You have made my day!!! The Hispanic community here in the U.S. is one that most concerns me in regards to the Borg. Here in Texas, it seems every time I turn around someone is telling me how a Spanish congregation is getting divided up again because they've grown to big to all say in one congregation. The District convention this year had 30,000 in attendance! It outrages me and I was going to start my anti-jw campaign focusing on the Hispanic community. I'm so glad to hear that Hispanics are also starting to wake up!!

  Hi Star: I wish I could devulge more, but to do that would reveal the names of the people there who related what was going on ... but, one important cultural thing I learned growing up among the Latino community is that family trust remains stronger than organizational ... and just as the Catholic Church finally lost is long standing of loyalty among many Hispanics, so is the Watchtower ... and since Hispanics are the fastest growing minority, on their way to becoming a majority in the USA, this is oging to hurt the Watchtower where it hurts ... I will make a new post soon about Crisis of Conscience and something everyone may want to know.

  Your suspenseful way of writing KILLS me sometimes Amazing!! Now I'm dying to know... LOL

  Your right about the culture thing. The same way they come in to the borg, in droves with all of their relatives, is the same way the will exit, in droves with all of their relatives.

  This past weekend was definitely the highlight of my post-jw life. The false picture that the WT paints of "apostates" is a crime. They are the most fantastic people I know. It's like, the best people come from the worst situations. One of the weird paradoxes of this life I guess. Take care, and tons of love to the ones I met there.

  I don't think Freddie sent the headless doll. I think it was YK, especially since the note had an "LOL" in it.
