JWs Among the Least Educated in the US

by jp1692 in

september 6th, 2017: a just released research survey shows once again that jehovah's witnesses are among the least educated people in the united states: .

america’s changing religious identity.

it is also interesting to note how jws rank in the categories of: income, insurance coverage and homeownership.

I posted that quote above to my instagram.

The irony of the term "light" made me chuckle..."New light" anyone?

Several witnesses "liked" the picture, obviously with no idea of the point I was making.

Losing my Hold On JW speak. Has it Happened to You Yet and if so, How?

by Wasanelder Once in

i was reading a post on here and the poster said she went to the door twice because her mother made her go again when she didn't see her children talk to the man.

the poster said, "at least i got an rv out of it.".

ok, its been a few years, but for the first time i thought of "recreational vehicle" and not "return visit" when i read this.

It is funny just how insidious the expression "The truth" is!

I know ones who still use that term after not attending for decades!

I simply say "The Society" or the "The Religion" when talking to witnesses now...

Does anyone under the age of 25 know what KFC stands for? (What about WT or JW?)

as we have seen, the society has so smoothly rolled out the rebranding of the organization in just a few short years!.

(in fact, i remember a thread post here a few years back, where it was mentioned that all halls are going to get the jw.org signs on them.

it was initially laughed off and doubted) https://www.jehovahs-witness.com/topic/279409/jw-org-signs-put-on-all-kingdom-halls-new-directive.

Yes, the GB have removed all signs saying "Kingdom Hall of Jehovah's Witnesses" and "Watchtower" and watchtower logos from every location.

Just this week a parent in our community said that his daughter had no ide what KFC stood for! She laughed at him for saying "Kentucky Fried Chicken". She is mid-teens in age.

So will the next generation (overlapping generation sorry) of witnesses and non-witnesses even know about the society's previous names?

Yes, I am proud to stop using the loaded terms that the society has created!

The Bible a wierd book.

by James Mixon in

some events in the bible can be questionable but there are some stories the rings of truth, and why do i say that because they are so descriptive.

instead, he pulls out a dagger and stabs the sh--t out of the king while he is bathing, he literal caused the sh--t to flow and the dagger disappeared in the folds of the king's skin.

Yup!
