Now the site has many articles translated!
I have been doing translation in my spare time, and my goal is to finish all articles by 2019! One article a week!
as you all may know, it is an ongoing project to translate jwfacts to spanish.
given that there are more than 2 spanish-speaking jw's for every one that speaks english, it can be safely said that spanish is the #1 language in the jw world (even though everything is made originally in english).. the spanish-speaking jw's are harder to convince.
i attribute it almost 100% to socioeconomic factors.

i think the majority of forum friends are aware of the existence of a vibrant watchtower opposition in the spanish field.
for about 13 years the extj forum was probably the main instrument for that endeavor, sadly the couple sponsoring that site decided to close it at the end of last year.
it seems like they were overwhelmed with personal obligations and responsibilities; they were covering a 100% of the expenses without any outside cooperation or publicity.. after the closing of their forum, some of the friends started new sites to keep the flow of information alive.
STA,
Your comments are valid. This is why, if necessary, I change the articles a bit to reflect the situation in the hispanic world, and/or I explain in a lot more detail what is going on.

Hi,
I've been highly involved in the Spanish exJW community for some time, and we absolutely need a forum!!
The closest thing to a forum right now is the groups on Facebook.
In terms of QUALITY websites, the absolute best imho is jwfacts.
Therefore, jwfacts IS being translated into Spanish.
If you want to check it out, go to www.verdadtj.com
The goal is to finish translating it (there are over 100 articles about 20 pages long each) by 2019.
I am on track, as I am translating an article per week, and have been on track for the past 4 weeks.
due to last years success, i will post everything related to the 2017 regional convention in this thread.. to start us off.... thanks to exjw reddit user ich3b we have advance notice of the theme (this is not a joke!).
the theme for the 2017 regional convention is: "don’t give up!” .
as always, if you have access to confidential materials you would like to leak but need to protect your identity, pm me or email me: wifibandit1 (at) gmail.
Any new leaks? Does anyone have the outline?
simply disgusted with that double standard by our system at times.
cutting ads that question trumps bigoted wall, yet allowing a cult ad in.
wtf..
???? This thread has been seriously derailed. I thought it was about scientology???
this is the first time i've read through a watchtower magazine in about a year.
although i've been our only 8 months it really git me how crazy i must have sounded when i was a jw talking to non jws.. while other bible based religions talk about the 4 horsemen and back up their theories with other scriptures or historical evidence, the watchtower have taken so such steps.
1914 is thrown in there as if it's universally agreed that jesus started ruling since then.. even when i was a jw i never really understood why, if the pale horse represents jesus, why is he first?
Four Whores' Men?
I like the sound of that better!!
wondering if simon or anyone else have statistics for this site?i.e.
how many users are there?
how many posts have ever been made?perhaps a graph showing how many users there were at a given time?
In any case, Simon, THANK YOU!!!
Thank you so much for this forum!!

What about just a straight up membership count Simon. Would that number be something you have quick access to and/or are willing to share?I second this. Or perhaps you can make a threshold? i.e. Number of members who posted/commented at least X amount of times per year? If not... just simply how many have signed up as a function of time.
I know the vast majority of those would be inactive, but it'd be nice to know just how many have signed up here throughout the years.

That group does not allow force-add. Everyone in there has joined directly. Like I said, it took them 4 years to reach their 1st thousand, 3 years to reach the second, and in just 3 years they've gone from 2 to 9 thousand members!!I believe on facebook you used to be able to 'force add' friends to a group without them knowing, but that's a different story....

Hi,
Wondering if Simon or anyone else have statistics for this site?
I.e. How many users are there? How many posts have ever been made?
Perhaps a graph showing how many users there were at a given time? That would be nice.
The reason I ask is because there is a group on Facebook called exJW Recovery Group 3 which just reached 9 thousand members.
They started in 2006 and it took them until 2010 to reach 1000 members, until 2013 to reach 2000, and in 2014 they exploded in numbers.
Wondering if there is something like that for this site. It would be very revealing.
