Thought it might be of interest to many here for discussion. The Jehovah's Witness religion is not grouped together w/Protestantism or w/ "others". They have their own "results" which is interesting to read.
It's really amazing how many different times this topic has been brought up. We've already had no fewer than TWELVE THREADS on the same subject. I just thought I'd point that out:

Gopher,
Why didn't you start a new thread to announce all of the old threads? We need more threads.
That Pew forum is PUUGH!
LOL Shamus.
I didn't intend to poke fun at the original poster, whose contributions I greatly value.
But when something this newsworthy comes out, it probably will hit the forum in a day or two. And it probably would be a more interesting discussion if it were focussed into one thread.
Dammit Gopher...you mised at least me...13..."it it spreading fast (or like)"....per my dad/elder dang it...get yer numbers rite............oompa
sorry for the upset Gopher...
Just for the record Juni,
I am absolutely livid with you. I know that Gopher is too.
since this is the 100th thread, I thought i might spin it a little differently. How are JWs reacting to the article? Those of you that can speak to your families about this kind of thing. I know those that go on cnn.com read it because they love to read articles that mock other religions but I wonder what they did when they got to the JW part, did they immediately stop reading and go take a bath and confess to the elders, did curiousity take over, did they respond like warlock and say well i wasn't called so obviously this is all made up.
I had seen the Associated Press article, but didn't know about this PEW site. Thanks for posting it, Juni-Bug!
Baba
This site is fun to play with, actually!
And riddle me this... who are these 9% of JW's who make $100,000.00 or over????
