Has anyone here met or spoken to a Mexican JW?
by ThomasCovenant inif so, has the subject of the mexican 'ban' or bribery issue been discussed?.
i wonder what older mexican jw's thought about the situation they were in and whether they could see through the farce.. if any group of witnesses could have cause to doubt, it would be them but they seem to be increasing.. .

by hamilcarr inwith the latest surge of anti-european comments and threads from us anti-progressives on this board, a little bit american self-criticism may be appropriate.. since the eighties, income inequality has been on the rise in american society.
most economists, however, agree that redistributing wealth is a legitimate role for any modern enlightened government.
