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.
I agree with David Blanco, there are many places to discuss in Spanish and this has been the same for years.
You are telling the truth as to the existence of many places in English and Spanish related to the WT, but is the quality of the site what is important. The EXTJ forum and then your site were both high quality and that might be a reason as to why they are missed.

Thanks sp74bb for your detailed explanation about the current events. I admire your effort and the multiple results but I am still sad of the forum closing and the incidents thereafter.
Corruptgirl thanks for your very concise opinion in this matter.

In comparison with the local churches the WT used to be very aggressive in the Spanish communities . Those roles have been reversed, on weekends you will find the evangelicals churches full of happy people and the KH stagnant with robotic members. The evangelicals are providing services full of music, children's services, games, family fairs and outings and a lot of fun activities. At the KH you have the same stale meetings sprinkled with occasional videos and appearances from the Holy Seven.
Used to be that evangelicals were fleeced by the churches and they still are but right now there is even more fleecing at the KH.
To make it short, things don't look good at all.

Researching the subject it seems that some of the dispute has to do with the sexual orientation of the closing site administrator.

Yes, it is a bad situation. As far as the growth, is not as much as before; right now the norm at the Circuit Baptism is less than ten and sometimes as low as one. Historically that was the number for one congregation.

After the closing of their Forum, some of the friends started new sites to keep the flow of information alive. The most prominent was abusostj.org; they have done an excellent job in Spain calling attention to the child abuse and shunning issues on newspapers, Radio and TV. Last month the site administrator announced that he was shutting his doors on February 14, he didn’t gave much of an explanation but it might be a legal issue related to the WT legal department (this is speculation).
Some of the friends are working and creating new forums but a hot dispute is raging right now, there are some bitter accusations going back and forth. I am enclosing two Spanish sites where more information is available.

the associated press published a story about civil rights veteran and atlanta former mayor andrew young going on an atlanta show saying that he thought barack should run for president in 2016, because he is too young to run for president and that he thought, essentially, the clintons were as black as barack.
here’s what they quoted from the young interview:.
“i want barack obama to be president,” young said, pausing for effect, “in 2016.”.
It seems like a golden opportunity that was wasted.

Back in 2007 Andrew Young, a historical figure within the Democrat party made some controversial remarks about the nomination contest between Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton. In essence he wanted for the 2008 nomination to go to Hillary and then have Obama ready for 2016. Looking at past history and the political landscape I think that in 2008 Hillary was going to be a winner and most likely the same on 2012. Obama would have been an impressive and almost invincible candidate on 2016.
I realize that this is all speculation but I will like to hear opinions please.
my mom, while pregnant with me, was one of thousands of jw volunteers to work on the construction of this once beautiful assembly hall in south florida circa 1984. it had a beautiful pond, waterfall, and even a resident alligator.
many remember it as well for it's huge plaster murals on the walls showing scenes of paradises.. pics as it was before (sorry for the low quality, struggled to find good pics of the auditorium as it was, if you have any good ones, do share them):.
