  JW Kids Leave the Organization: Facts

  by Maximus in

  2. friends

  the october 1 watchtower 2001 features articles on training children "properly" and dealing with a "prodigal child.

  the latest inside u.s. figures reveal that 86% of jw children leave the fold, with some 29% who eventually come back for reasons of family ties, most never "reaching out.

  " that means over half leave permanently.

  2. friends

  i have been lurking for months now and want to say hello.

  i was raised a jw and am now 46yrs old.

  i stopped attending meetings at the beginning of this year for various reasons and only then gained the courage to check the net and see if anyone else like me was out there.

  The scariest Place on Earth........

  by spike in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  no, i'm not referring to the borg palace in n.y. i was watching the tv show where they select a family to spend a night roaming around a haunted island, castle etc.

  now if the god/devil concept isn't right, what causes the energy forces to scare the hell out of those people?

  if this was discussed before, bear with me i'm a newbie trying to figure out what to believe.. never give up, and never under any circumstances, face the facts-r.gordon

  hello again friends,.

  i have recently been pondering some over some thoughts on organized religion.

  does anyone know of any ex-jw get togethers in the uk?

  anything from a pint down the pub to our own convention?.
