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

Sad news from the Spanish Front
by Hecce ini 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.

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.

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. 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.

“i want barack obama to be president,” young said, pausing for effect, “in 2016.”.

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.

Griffin Assembly Hall (Ft. Lauderdale, FL) now a Megachurch
by Sanchy inmy 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):.

Sanchy
Almost 7 years later, money from sale vanished and there's no more talk of a new hall closer to us.That promise is a very "old and trusted con"; they made the same promise with the Assembly Halls of Liemert Park and Woodland Hills in S California (documented here in this site) and after like 30 years the brothers are still waiting for the local replacements.

Assemblies are still going on, the brothers are travelling quite a distance to get there and driving by "Segadores" Auditorium.
