  Wikipedia update

  by jstalin in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  my previous addition to the jehovah's witness wikipedia article was removed, but it has been re-added by someone else, and worded more strongly:.

  * belief that a "great crowd" of jehovah's witnesses is now living that will survive the coming battle of armageddon and have the prospect of living forever on an earthly paradise.

  (revelation 7:9-17) belief that all others (non-jehovah's witnesses) on earth will be killed by jehovah at armageddon, including small children and babies.

  Average JW's age?

  by jstalin in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  is there any demographic information available on jws, such as average age?

  i have a friend who is a devout jw and he invited me to the memorial this year.

  one thing that interested me is that there were perhaps 10 guys and girls under 30. my friend mentioned to me that most kids leave the org when they're around 18. he's 23, and still lives with his parents.

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i remember seeing on here, a month or two ago, someone had posted video clips of a district convention.

  i wasn't able to access them at the time.

  not being a jw, i'm interested in seeing what they are all about.

  KH meeting - boring!

  by jstalin in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  i'm not a jw but a friend of mine who is a jw invited me to the memorial service at the kh this year.

  i was raised catholic but now i'm agnostic/atheist.

  one thing that struck me was how horribly sterile and boring the memorial service was.

  EX JWs - What planted the seed in your mind?

  by jstalin in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i'm interested in finding out what planted the seed in your mind that got you started on questioning the watchtower.

  what issue, event, or idea started you on the path to rejecting the watchtower?

  and while we're at it, what event was the straw that broke the camel's back, that pushed you over the edge to finally quitting the organization?

  1. jw
  2. friends

  it's great to finally be able to post here (there's been a problem over the last month with new registration).

  i've been lurking for about two months because i have a friend who's a jw and i was interested in finding more out about his religion.

  i started asking him things about it and he would get a bit cagy and wondered why i was asking.
