What do you mean with this question? I am from germany and Jehova (iehofa?) is pronounced differently as in russian, polish or many other languages.

What the problem with this question is: he was REAL for a long time of my life! So i don't know if Jehovah could be a myth or not.

What i am sure of: i wouldn't post on this site cause JW are only of minor - if any - interest to the rest of the world.
I got an invitation to 20 years after school - and what should i write in CV? I was caught in a cult for 14 years?
But that's life! That is why i am now what i am.

first, on may 11, 2001, in response to an enquete commission demand, jehovah's witnesses submitted a document containing their viewpoint on the subject "the future of civic activities.

statement of jehovas a witness to the enquete commission?

275, 29 november 1997, s. l 5); jehovas.

1. ?Enquete-Komission? what does the term ?Enquete? mean in English? 2. Do you know if the other organizations were NGOs?
3. You said the ?JWs had no success?, what were they trying to accomplish?
4. Were the organizations ?demanded? to respond or was this something that was voluntary?

I don't know the english term for "Enquete" but it is an governmental initialized group for research. This whole thing had to do - i think - with the "international year of volunteers" and germany made this report to show whats going on in this country. So they asked a lot of organizations incl. WTS for their input. The purpose is as usual: showing we are just a normal religion and do care about our neighbors. Besides there is an upcoming Court decision to give the german branch the same rights as other standard churches ("Körperschaft des öffentlichen Rechts"). If the response was demanded - i don't know, at least they had the opportunity to "stand in good light".
If someone understands german: there was a short part on TV yesterday about "KdöR".
