hi .
trying to find info on the scandal involving mexican congregations not having prayers and singing at the meetings.. i have found some info on jw facts but would like more if anyone knows of a good website to look at.. watchtower observer had some info before but that website is long gone.. any help would be much appreciated.. thanks wgo..
I'm still wondering though if the GB would of been easily able to rent a place to workship ? If religious organisations at the time applied to rent land/property, how readily was the application granted.
I'll do some digging.
Its only that if land/propert was easily able to be rented then it shows that the GB acted completely in their own financial interests.

Hi Smiddy
thanks so much for the info. Sorry what I should of wrote (half asleep) was, how easy was it for non catholic religions to rent land for religious purposes. ?

Wow this is unbelievable. I must say I find it absolutely fascinating and appalling all at the same time. I feel truly grateful that my eyes have been opened.
my only question on this period of history in Mexico is this... How easy/difficult was it for religious organisations at the time to purchase land from the government to use for their religion?
who do you believe is financially benefiting from watchtower business dealings.
i know about the gold apple watch, but that is only a small percentage of the billions that they have.
so who do you think is keeping all of this money.
What's the story of the Gold Apple Watch? I've not heard that one.
now that i'm looking beyond what the wt teaches i'm struggling to find information on three topics.

Moggy Lover thank you for taking the time to explain the Trinity. It's so complex. I can feel my brain melting trying to understand it. The penny is starting to drop though so thank you.

@Londo111 that's really interesting what you're saying about most of Revelation applying to the first century and it nearly not being included. Do you have any links to information on this ?
Thanks everyone I've found all your thoughts really helpful. It's really hard to get my head around it all.

Now that I'm looking beyond what the WT teaches I'm struggling to find information on three topics. The 144,000, The Trinity and Prayer.

2. I can find lots of information as to scriptures that show how God and Jesus can be the same. But if Jesus is God, how did he send himself to earth ? And how did he pray to God when on earth ?
3. If God and Jesus are the same do other religions still ask their prayer in Jesus's name or do they just say Amen ?
sorry if these questions seem basic. I never realised before that other religions worship Jesus.
so i thought my purpose was to serve jehovah and get baptised.
where do i go now to get baptised?
is baptism even a requirement for serving god or was that just for the disciples and people of that time.
Thanks everyone I'm taking time to read through your messages and digest them.

Did anyone sit there and think "how can this be. It all has to be true, because if all that I've been taught isn't true then life makes no sense. But none of it is true. The facts are there on paper. It was there all the time but I couldn't see it. ".
I keep thinking well I'll still believe this part. But then if parts aren't true then none of it can be true. Because you take one piece of the jigsaw away and the formula they apply doesn't fit.
How long does it take for the fear of Armageddon to go away. ? What will happen to me when I die?
