  This article is complete utter bullshit. Compared to legally immigrating to the US or Canada, getting a legal permanent residence in Mexico is RIDICULOUSLY easy. I know because I am a Canadian who has a legal temporary residence in Mexico (which automatically turns permanent after 4 years). Follow the rules, pay the fees, wait, get it. That easy.
  
  If it was as easy to legally immigrate to the U.S. as it was to Mexico, surely like 99% of illegal immigration to the U.S. would be gone.
  
  I love this country and I actually like that there is a high military presence. There's a saying in Mexico: "El que no debe no paga"... "The one who owes nothing pays nothing"... same thing applies. Every single government official/police officer / military who I have dealt with has always treated me respectfully.

  Do you know what article, specifically, it was from? This is yet another example of very poor investigation on JW's part.

  Wifi, thank you for offering!

  The problem that I have is that there is no correlation between English and Spanish bound volumes before 1984, so an article that was printed on November 1953 in the English version will end up being in Spanish on mid 1954 but I would have no idea when specifically.

  Now that I looked it up, it seems like it will be either in 1952, or 1953, or 1954:
  
  This whole article would be nice to have:

  *** w52 12/15 p. 764 Questions From Readers ***

  Questions From Readers

  ● Is vaccination a violation of God’s law forbidding the taking of blood into the system?—G. C., North Carolina.

  The matter of vaccination is one for the individual that has to face it to decide for himself. Each individual has to take the consequences for whatever position and action he takes toward a case of compulsory vaccination, doing so according to his own conscience and his appreciation of what is for good health and the interests of advancing God’s work. And our Society cannot afford to be drawn into the affair legally or take the responsibility for the way the case turns out.

  *** w54 1/1 p. 30 Questions From Readers ***

  Questions From Readers

  ● Should we worship Jesus?—G. B., Ethiopia.

  The clergy of Christendom that believe in a trinity as the main doctrine of Christianity will answer with a positive Yes to this question. Quite to be expected, for they believe that worshiping Jesus is at the same time worshiping God the Father and God the Holy Spirit, for these three they believe to be Three Persons mysteriously making up one God. The King James Version of the English Bible was rendered by trinitarian translators, and doubtless for this reason the translators rendered the Greek word proskyne′ō by the word “worship,” when applying to Jesus. In fact, in every case of its occurrence in the Christian Greek Scriptures they consistently rendered this Greek verb by “worship.” So we read of the magi’s “worshiping” the babe Jesus, and of persons who approached Jesus or received healing from him or asked favors of him “worshiping” Jesus on earth.

  
  and this one:
  
  *** w54 5/15 p. 317 Questions From Readers ***Questions From Readers● In the January 1 issue of The Watchtower the question from Ethiopia, “Should we worship Jesus?” is answered. In paragraph five Hebrews 1:6 is quoted with regard to the angels of God worshiping Jesus, but in the final paragraph it says: “The answer to the above question must be that no distinct worship is to be rendered to Jesus Christ now glorified in heaven. Our worship is to go to Jehovah.” Does this not contradict the statement of Hebrews 1:6?—T. P., United States.

  False equivalence. You can't drop being gay. You can drop religious beliefs if you want to. Stopping a person from entering a plane because they're gay would be wrong. Stopping a person from entering a plane because they believe that they have a duty to kill infidels in the plane... well... that's just common sense!!
  
  There is a site called The Religion of Peace, which is sort of like a "jwfacts" for Islam... Essentially what they advocate is the same solution that would combat JW's: KNOWLEDGE! Spread knowledge of Islam and how bad it really is, so that hopefully less and less people join it!

  Movies I'm Watching

  i have, for about 6 months now, been trying to watch every single movie that was "cool" or interesting since 1960.it started out with a desire to watch as an adult all disney movies.

  then it morphed into all bond movies (except for the non-canonicals).now it's turned into pretty much any and all movies.

  here is my list, scratched out are ones i have seen, green are recent next-in line.turns out there was a lot i had never seen before, about 70% because of the cult restrictions!
