  Few JW leader have children

  it’s been discussed before that few jw leaders, past and present, have had children.

  this is in contrast with other groups, such as the mormons, whose leaders have had a lot of children.

  i wonder if this has impacted jw growth.

  *** km 9/76 p. 8 question box ***.

  might a discussion using the bible alone be reported as a study?

  (…) but at times persons are unwilling to use any literature other than the bible.

  i saw this article online today from a woman concerned about conversion tactics used by religious groups, specifically jehovah's witnesses, to find deaf people to convert.

  it made me go back and see what the wts uses.. https ://limpingchicken.com/2025/06/12/rebecca-a-withey-concerns-about-deaf-people-being-targeted-by-religious-groups/.

  deaf in wts.

  Reddit thread Warning young JWs that ‘Spiritual Goals’ are Not a Career!

  by LongHairGal in

  as somebody who worked full-time when i was in the witness religion, this topic naturally caught my eye.. many of the responses are heartfelt.

  there are about 90 at this point.

  from what i read so far.. many are people who woke up before they got old but even these are resentful over their life being derailed with wasted time pursuing spiritual goals and having to start over at a later age getting an education/job.. i imagine born-in young jws would be most susceptible to this.. in today’s world, a ‘career’ is something that earns you a living.. as many of the responses there will say: anybody who pursues ‘spiritual goals’ only will end up with wasted time in the end with no money and no retirement plan… i couldn’t agree more.. it would be a shame if this happens to yet more jws..
