Jehovah's Witnesses all over the world have been destroying religious artifacts for decades. In their own home - historical items of value to their ancestry.
I am sure that the majority of us, if not all, have destroyed something we thought was demon possessed at one time. Items of questionable origin - that we thought were pagan. I have. Years ago. When I still was bound by the superstitions that the WTS taught me. My older brother burned a cross that hung on the wall of an apartment he rented - it wasn't his. A beautiful cross
We all did it 'behind closed doors' - items that belonged to us. And sometimes that belonged to other people.
The accused JWs in this case are acting no differently, if true - they destroyed something that they thought belonged to them.

Regardless of whether the local JW are responsible for this act of vandalism or not, the incident, by the accusations alone, exposes a deep clash between the indigenous culture and the shiny blue square iconed American jworg culture
i've been trying to check my messages as i've been told i was sent a pm, but for some reason i can't.
the envelope reads "0", and when i click on it i get a black page that reads at the top left, "server error" and i have to back out.
this has been going on since monday, and i've tried to check my messages from the computer in a regular window (i use chrome), incognito window, and on my phone.
Eh...that is Simon's area...he will fix you up, I am sure

Last year, I did some reading up on the Jehovah's Witnesses in rural Mexico.

Bluebrothers: Why would J W's spend their time smashing up an archaelogical site when their sole focus is in doing their "ministry"?
Cultural background of the JW converts...and the surrounding culture
Add WTS doctrine...stir and mix...pour
*and maybe they wanted to set up their carts on the site and were denied...retaliation maybe

JohnDoe: I absolutely think JWs would do this. Regardless if the leadership claims credit or condemns it, it's exactly the kind of myopic self aggrandizing circle jerk that disrespects others' culture and beliefs that the superstitious rank and file would partake in.
Me too.
The story is plausible to me.
How many of us destroyed artifacts and such that we thought were 'demon-possessed'? On the instruction of the WTS and the JWs themselves? I did. I am sure many of you did. Superstition runs deep and this story comes out of a culture of superstition - they have just replaced their old superstitions with a new one - the WTS doctrine of demons and the devil
It is so sad that if this happened, and I think it did, because these people would have been destroying their own heritage. What a horrible organization this WTS is - teaching doctrine that fosters fanatical behavior

Marlboro, I just sent you another message. Let's see if it goes through.
I haven't had any issues with using pms with other members in the past couple days.
i've read here that inactives are the same as disfellowshipped, treatment wise.
is that correct or did i misread it??
thanks......
flipper: PHIZZY hit on a really good point. " The fact that the GB/Leaders of JW org. would love to see " inactives " totally shunned , as we are the group most likely to plant seeds of discontent and doubt. "
Not only that, but the WTS wants to be in the position to say in court "oh...but that person isn't really a JW" even if the one on trial hasn't been disfellowshipped or disassociated.

bohm: Orphan: That can't be right. Surely something must be going on to explain that effect.
I dunno...I am just reporting what was said on this reddit thread.
