so i registered republican and went to voting all republican and conservative.
i figured, they might not be perfect, but unlike the democrats that i have seen.

For whatever it's worth, a US survey from the early 90s revealed that 6% of the JWs would vote Dem, 3% Rep. The remainding 91% would not vote at all. (Source: "One Nation under God", by Kosmin & Lachman, 1993).

WTS Again in Court in Germany to Be Granted Special Status
by GermanXJW inin a long legal fight, the wts will be in court in germany on march 25th, 2004 again to get registration as a "public body".
in the last days of the gdr (the communist german democratic republic) jw were registered as an official religious community.
after the reunification they legally moved jw headquarters to berlin and widend their responsibilities to the whole of german.

If all churches in Germany receive tax support ('Kirchensteuer'), why shouldn't the WTS receive part of it?

The Truth and a Hot Bath

Can you tell us a little more about this publication? It appears to be deeply out of print...It is definitely out of print. The UK edition was published in 1967 by Hutchinson in London. The same book was published in the US but they changed the title: "The Inside Story of Jehovah?s Witnesses" by Hart Publishing, New York. You may have a chance in antique book stores or university libraries.

Jehovah's Witnesses / Apostate statistics.....
by ScoobySnax inok ok....don't bite at the "apostate" label.
but recently someone on here told me that disaffected/inactive/d/f jws now must out number jws as a whole.. i (funny enough) disagreed.
does anyone have proof otherwise?

"The numbers I'd hear announced were for the USA only. I have never heard worldwide stats for DF'ing"
The 40,000 df is world-wide. (W 4/1/94) which, at that time, was about 1% of active JWs. That would mean 60,000 at this time, assuming the percentage remains the same - which is debatable.
