  during our wt life we met a good number of friends involved in the circuit and district work.

  i am sure that we share the same experience and that we remember fondly some that we caring, loving and generally interested in the brothers.

  at the same time we might remember others that were arrogant, selfish, abusive and oppressive.

  I think Padron's first name is Felix.

  He left the circuit on account of his wife, she didn't like the service.

  Fidel Castro and the WT

  i am going to engage on a trip to the past and share with you some of the matters that marked the beginning of the jws persecution in cuba.

  you will be surprised that the pattern that was followed is very similar to what happened in other dictatorial countries.. in the cuban case, i am going to surprise you and tell you that like what happened with hitler; the wt was partially responsible for their clash and confrontation with the cuban government.

  during the early 60s the revolution was fighting for survival and they were willing and ready to demolish any perceived enemy to their cause.. a prime example was their war against the catholic church that was the most influential religious entity in the country; it took the supreme leader only a few public discourses to send the vast majority of clergy packing and back to their country, in this case spain.. the jehovah’s witnesses were an insignificant minority but they over estimated their importance and displayed a belligerent attitude, it was known that this was a us based religion and an easy target to connect them with the cia.

  TheNew World Society in Action....

  back in the early 60s the phrase .

  "the new world society..." was used a lot to promote assemblies and even congregations.

  of course no new world has come but that saying appears to have been quietly buried along with any hope of a new world..

  Welcome

  With the decrease in the frequency of the conventions it might be cheaper to use a rented building and avoid the maintenance all year around. They might going back to the "good old days".

  morning warship - he was the only restraint and i'm not saying that lightly.

  i know there are a dozen others here who were in bethel back in the early 2000's who know what i'm talking about.

  he actually kept me thinking this was jehovah's org because of his sincerity as if the holy spirit was operating in him.

  Never met the man personally.

  He had relatives in the area and during his visits a few of the friends had dealings with him. They always spoke of him as a regular and normal guy.

  Another chapter of the saga, I think that maybe two more will do it.

  After the closing of the concentration camps the work proceeded underground and the organization was officially proscribed on 1974. It was a very difficult time because the government spies were all over. Even one of the brothers working at Bethel was proven to be an infiltrator. One good thing came out of this and it was that the JWS were classified by the international community as victims of religious persecution and given preference to leave the country. This resulted in the departure of many of the brothers in special service including the BO.

  After that the Branch Committee that was operating entirely underground was formed by three brothers by the last name of Figueredo, Azcuy and Cardenas. Surprisingly these three were common persons but highly effective and there was a tremendous increase under their Administration.

  Their efficiency was the result of their street wise and not due to any special instructions coming from Brooklyn. By this time the WT was negotiating thru diplomatic channels with the Cuban Government and finally by the early 90s and agreement was reached; part of the agreement was a request on the Cuban side that those three individuals had to go and be replaced by some other personnel.

  This was agreed by the WT.

  Later on I will tell you about the conditions after the peace treaty.

  Thanks for reading

  Looking for a few more names.

  Fred Maes was a DO serving the Spanish in the 70s, I think his wife left him for another brother at Bethel. Eventually he became part of the 1980 exodus.

  I never heard about him again, he was a very good man.
