I just was on Adherents.com and I read the statistics on JW's, Southern Baptists, and Mormons. It was very intersting, but they seem a little biased against Southern Baptists. In the Southern Baptist section they have included links from Ex-Southern Baptists with titles such as "Why Im no longer Southern Baptist" "Why I left the Southern Baptist convention" and so forth.
There is nothing under the JW's or Mormons with any such info. It also sounds like they were trying to make the JW's look good.
They also took a pot shot at the southern states having the highest divorce rate, right along side the part mentioning the southern baptists.
What they fail to mention to you is that while New Hampshire may have the highest percentage of JW's, they also hold the distinction of having the worst JW molesting case in history--but adherents.com fails to mention that (of course).
Im too tired this morning, but I would like to email Adherents.com and give them some feedback.

Thanks for the info Junction Guy,
I'll jump on this ASAP as well. As a service to humanity, it is important that we attempt to set straight any communicative entity that mentions JWs in a favorable light.

Thanks Oracle, maybe you can get something done.
They need to have a couple of links there that say: "Why I'm no longer a JW".
I feel like they have singled out Southern Baptists, yet have allowed to 2 most controversial religions (mormon and JW) to get off scot free. -

Serious question, j-g.
What is it about Southern Baptists that convinces you that they have the best way of worship?

Actually Im not Southern Baptist, I have always considered them to be just a tad bit too modern and liberal. Im a FreeWill Baptist, and I enjoy there services the best. I just dont like the fact that they are trying to put down southern baptists, yet they make no mention of the destruction nature of the cults.
