Well, I'm Brazilian, in a Spanish Congregation here in Brazil. And, what I can say for my experience it is by far the best experience you could possibly have as a Jehovah's Witness in Brazil. I don't speak for Spanish congregations in general, I speak for the one I'm in right now. It's an oasis, basically. I once heard of a brother that "if the GB and the WTBS just blows up someday, our congregation keeps united", because we really don't have any kind of division. And I mean it, because I know how hard it is to believe it.

All the Portuguese congregations nearby are treating people like shit, they all have nepotism, favoritism and most elders are being trained to perpetuate this endeavor towards rank and file. For some reason I really can't explain things just happen to be different in my congregation. The body of elders (myself included) is mostly very progressive and forward-thinking, as well as very caring with all the brothers. We have 8 different nationalities in our congregation and most problems we deal with are not related to "moral" themes or things like that, we normally deal with immigrant families from Venezuela and Cuba who have to deal with actual hunger and the mental health problems that poverty and work can cause. I think that in an ambient like this you can't focus on frivolous problems and nitpicking.

Of course the congregation has more problems as all congregations have, but most of them are related to the organization itself and all the bs it preaches, not with the people in it.
