i just went to a convention in mazatlan, mexico.. i had wanted to do this for a very long time, it left me shaken a bit (because i had a confrontation of sorts with one jw who recognized me), but i got some stats that give some insight into the borg.

it really is crumbling, even in the places where they have arguably had the best, wildest success in the world: mexico.. just so you can see how much they have success in mexico compared to the us or anywhere else:.

top three countries in 2014 were:.

Why would it be great news? Those kids are pretty much doomed to having their families destroyed in the future. It is much different if they were 18+, adults who made the decision to be there and know fullly well what they are doing. There's not many of those, because... people don't join cults willingly.

The saddest part of those stats is that around 47% (average) of the ones getting baptized are under 18, and around 35-40% of all the ones baptized are clearly around 7-13 years.

Way too young to be getting baptized!

I felt absolutely horrible on this third convention because a kid, around 5 years old (max) was being told by his mom that he needed to learn all of the answers to the questions in the green book to be baptized. And that only Jehovah knew when you were ready...

Made me sick to my stomach... I wanted to scream "you dumb F""$·$% bitch!"

Idk reminded me too much of my childhood...

thanks to the great "watchtower history" blog with historical information about the pre- and early bible students years, i became today aware of the origine of the name the watchtower and the masthead illustration in front of the old magazines.. in c.t.

russell's younger days, his mother and other relatives died and were buried on the family plot at the allegheny cemetery.. it must have been a defining moment voor the young ctr.

look at his inspiration to choose the name and masthead of his magazine.

Ok the translation is very bad. Here is my human translation:

11 year old girl murdered her siblings because "Satan" told her to

In less than two weeks she murdered two siblings, one a three year old boy and the other a 9 month old girl. The parents said that in repeated occasions the girl told them that she "spoke with the devil", who came out from between shadows.

MADERO, Tamaulipas.- Supposed orders emitted by "Satan" were the determining factor for a minor, just 11 years old. She killed in less than two weeks two siblings, one a three year old boy and the other a 9 month old girl, this happened in a populous sector of Ciudad Madero.

According to information supplied by the Specialized Agency of the Public Ministry for the Protection of the Family, everything came to light after August 10th this year, when Civil Hospital personnel notified authorities that a minor, named Fernanda Chávez, 11 years old, was admitted to the hospital because she tried to commit suicide by taking pills.

Immediately, personnel of the prosecutor went to the hospital, where they took the declaration of the child, who told the investigators that "diabolical voices" hard ordered her to kill herself to join her siblings whom she had killed. This sparked an investigation on the previous deaths.

While investigating, it was found that on July 19th, also in that same hospital, a lifeless child, Camila Chávez, 9 months old, came in. On that date, the Agent of the Investigating Public Ministry went to give testimony of the facts, and determined that the girl died from a congenital defect.

Later on July 27th this year, Fabian Chávez, 3 years old, went into the Civil Hospital unconscious, where hours later he passed away.

The situation for the marriage made by Mrs. Fabiola Chávez and José Luis Cruz worsened, because on the 29th of July Merely Cruz, 9 years old, went into the hospital because of a nervous breakdown, she was very scared, and she begged that her sister Fernanda was not allowed to touch her, because she said Fernanda was evil.

Among the declarations that Fernanda Cruz said, she said that she took the lives of both her siblings, because voices told her to, she said that to reach her objective, to the littlest one she covered her mouth and nose, while to the three year old she asfixiated him with a pillow.

While being questioned, the parents of the children affirmed that their 11 year old daughter in repeated occasions told them that she "spoke with the devil", who came out from between the shadows.
