Jehovahs witnesses and higher education by Gerritt Loesch

I posted this in response to a previous question where I gave a quick summary of the changes in our viewpoint on University Education over the years. Thanks to Ann O’Mally for finding it.
Agape!

This article is in Spanish. But the gist of it says that Mexico is considering a law that would fine organizations, including the police, for persistent bothering of people in their residences. It does specifically point out JW's as an organization that would be affected by this.

El Senado la República se encuentra trabajando en una nueva ley a favor del respeto a la privacidad domiciliar en relación a las libertades religiosas.
En ella se busca prevenir y erradicar las molestias de que son objeto muchas personas en sus domicilios por promotores religiosos e incluso fanáticos. La ley contemplará sanciones en forma de multa económica o cárcel para las personas que realicen hostigamiento domiciliar por razones de propaganda religiosa. Esto luego de que se dieran a conocer los resultados de una encuesta en la que se reveló que esto supone un problema serio en algunas ciudades del país.
Según los resultados de esta encuesta, existe un gran porcentaje de gente cansada de la publicidad religiosa de puerta en puerta, pues deviene en molestias de diversos tipos.
Algunas personas se quejan de los métodos que emplean los propagandistas religiosos, como no querer irse de la casa, amenazar con regresar, despertar a las personas a primeras horas del domingo y no hacer caso cuando se les dice que no se tiene el interés de escuchar su mensaje religioso.
Por tal motivo los senadores trabajan en la Ley para la Protección Doméstica, la cual no sólo protegería a los hogares de este tipo de abusos, sino también de otros producidos por vendedores, cobradores o la policía misma.
Esta ley será votada el próximo 25 de mayo de este año. Y prevé sanciones de hasta 6 semanas de cárcel a personas que, una vez apercibidas por el usuario de la casa de que no desean recibirlas, insistan de manera recurrente. Para denunciar estos abusos, se acudirá al ministerio público o podrá realizarse la queja al 066.
Se prevé amonestación judicial para los responsables en primera instancia. Si la conducta persiste, se hará acreedora de sanciones.
Se ha señalado a los Testigos de Jehová, la Iglesia del Tercer Día y La Iglesia de los Últimos Tiempos como los grupos religiosos más insistentes y molestos.

607 B.C.E.
in Topics
QuoteThe 70 years was a literal period of time that ended in 537 B.C.E. Counting back 70 years, the start date of the period would be 607 B.C.E.
When did the 70 years commence? ... A Jewish revolt brought the Babylonians back to Jerusalem. (2 Kings 24:20; 25:8-10) They razed the city, including its sacred temple, and they took many of its inhabitants captive to Babylon.
Within two months, “all the people [who had been left behind in the land] from the least to the greatest, together with the army officers, fled to Egypt for fear of the Babylonians.” (2 Kings 25:25, 26, NIV) Only then, in the seventh Jewish month, Tishri (September/October), of that year could it be said that the land, now desolate and unworked, began to enjoy its Sabbath rest. ... So this event evidently marked the starting point of the 70 years. And what year was that? To answer, we need to see when that period ended. - The Watchtower, October 1, 2011, pages 27-29

And yes, they are very important pivotal dates for the calculation of the 2,520 years culminating in 1914.

Seventy years back from the seventh month (Tishri) of the year 537 B.C. brings us to the month Tishri of the year 607 B.C.
In 607 B.C. the month Tishri began on September 22/23, the day for the observance of the festival of the new moon. In that month of 607 B.C. the “seven times,” or, “the times of the Gentiles,” the appointed times of the nations,” began. This was two months after Jerusalem had been destroyed and its temple plundered, wrecked and burned down, after which its two principal priests were killed. - “Babylon the Great Has Fallen” God’s Kingdom Rules! (1963), page 372
QuoteWith the exit of the insubordinate Jews from the land of Judah, the foretold 70 years of desolation of the land without resident Israelite and domesticated beast started off.
Then, also, the symbolic “seven times” about which Jehovah caused King Nebuchadnezzar to dream and the prophet Daniel to offer an explanation began to run their course of 2,520 years. - The Watchtower, March 1, 1980, page 16
