I have posted some topics few months ago, but I was looking around this forum like 2 years. And today I realized that I did not ask if there is someone from Mexico who participate actively in this forum.

Hi Aaron, hope we can share the same academic experience. I'm also a psychologist and earned a Master degree in Applied Educational Research. One of the topics of interest is the influence of religion in the field of academic education, specially in K-12 in my country. I will look forward to your contributions and research.

In one case, the daughter of a well-known elder in the city (the family was known as very spiritual) was planning her weeding. It is accustomed that during weeding the couple choose young brothers and sisters to participate in the weeding dance. I was one of those young brothers. Then one day, all the plans for the weeding were cancelled suddenly since the couple "ate the sandwich before lunch" as we say here.
Three years after that incident, a brother, son of a other well-known spiritual brother and family, got married. After six months, in a newspaper note and headline appeared that the brother was kidnapped, since his wife went to the police to make the report. A month later it was discovered that the brother was hiding from his wife and was living with another sister (daughter of the first well-know elder in city of the first case). Both were df'd and reinstated two years later. Now he is an elder and she is a pioneer.
An single older sister (friend of my family) told us (me and my wife) in secret that she knew that a lot of brothers (MS, Elders, and CO) had affairs with lot of sisters. Even she was banging three brothers in the same time. I have heard a lot of cases of pedophilia, pornography, bestiality, and other stuff in the congos.

Why pigs???
by stuckinarut2 inwhy did jesus supposedly cast the demons into a herd of pigs?.
(matt 8 / luke 8).
and, how were there so many demons inside one man, that when "released" by jesus, it took a whole pack of pigs to contain them??.

I was reading this article, about some of the possible origins of the tale about the demons and herd of pigs. It is possible that this account got an influence from the Phoenician Heracles-Melqart tales. A very interesting article:

Random and unsafe conditions
by ironsnake656 inone of the things that helped me in my awakening and fading process from jwland was something that i call "random failures".

One of the things that helped me in my awakening and fading process from JWland was something that I call "random failures". Let me explain it. It happened like 4 years ago. I was preparing the information for the TMS and I noticed something in the May/June calendar illustration hanged in the wall of my bedroom. The illustration depicted people building houses. The problem is that they are wearing safety helmets Where do they get the helmets? Do they built manufacturing facilities to produce safety helmets and construction tools (hammers, nails, electric saws to cut wood, etc??
Even worse, the purpose of wearing safety helmets is to protect your body against any accident. The accidents occur due to fact of unsafe conditions presented in the environment. Some of such unsafe conditions are presented by random failures. Random failures are defined as "physical failures brought on by excessive stress on the device. Random failures can occur at any time during the device life and are generally well understood by the time a device achieves user-approved status. The occurrence of these failures does not follow a pattern, but instead occur randomly in time. Stress factors are the result of a variety of causes, such as abnormal process conditions, the presence of an adverse microenvironment (e.g., corrosion produced by chemical impurities or metallurgy), or normal device wear and tear. Low frequency atmospheric events (e.g. snow in Houston, Texas, USA) can also be considered random events" (Process Safety Progress, 2006).
So, in the Paradise, will exist or happen accidents caused by random failures? Will Jehovah control EVERY, I mean EVERY random event to not harm any Armageddon survivor (even the event to avoid corrosion produced by natural chemical reactions to not get a rusty nail/hammer and cause a fatal accident)? Will he control the pressure and force exerted in a piece of wood by a person who is working in the roof?
What do you think???
