Hello all!
So far this blog has been written only focusing on sharing
information regarding the Jehovah’s Witnesses in Spanish territories. Starting
from today, I will start to translate some of my previous entries into English
for the benefit of the English-speaking readers that may be involved in
researching about this religion.
As a summary of my blog, the covered topics are: the life of
the Jehovah’s Witnesses and their spiritual paradise inside their organization.
The Watchtower Society and how the Governing Body controls the whole pyramid of
believers under their surveillance. I also talk about the regular meetings in
their Kingdom Halls, Assembly Halls, and Conventions.
Much of my citations is taken from their publications such
as:

of the Bible)

Currently, the Watchtower organization is conducting much of
their education efforts via online using its website jw.org as a vehicle to
deliver their current teachings and publications.
Many scandals have been brought to light lately about these
men and how they manage the rest of million of Jehovah’s Witnesses around the
world. Child Abuse, Child Molestation, Pedophilia, Money practices and shady
businesses, Tax evasion, Real Estate questionable businesses, dangerous bible
doctrine, shunning, death of people regarding the abstinence of blood
transfusions, records with the FBI, Hitler and the Nazi Germany, etc.
All these aspects about the Watchtower Organization, the
Christian Congregation of the Jehovah’s Witnesses and all its associated legal
entities are covered in over 800+ posts in Spanish so far. Some of them will be
translated so bookmark this blog and follow the updates.
All of you are welcome!
