i am new to this site.
i've been out of it for about 17 years.
i've never really looked back or felt nger about any of it.
I don't think I believe in anything anymore other than the goodwill and kindness of the wicked world
It is very common that xJw turns agnostic or atheists after.

Who didnt say we where united?` Sitting in Sweden Europe and laufhg my ass off...!
So "same same".... even with the "Smurf-fear" ha ha
i am currently just sick with grief.
i can't believe this is happening to me.
all the jokes i've made about me never "falling out of the truth" and self confidence about my spirituality.
Gr.m.Jones..
Im from sweden.. and listen... you KNOW a lot more than the average JW does...know already..
Stay calm, do not rock the boat yet.
We here know exactly what you are feeling... but dont scream out as high as you ever want among your relatives, yet...

ESTP from sweden here.
From a larger test at my work a few years ago.
i can only say i'm new here in the sense i've just been able to join.
i have actually followed this forum for over a year now.
i've tried joing several times but must have been doing something wrong, so i thought i'd try one more time and it finally worked.. i was a born-in jw.
Welcome!
What about you sisters mind about JW today?
in sweden we are now checking the attendance/baptisms ratio at some conventions by simply divide the number of baptisms to the attendance number.. far ago in the 70-ies it was like 5% before 1975. last year we was around 0,55%.
(quite like the italy in fact ).
this year we have counted only 2 conventions this far.
Hi!
In sweden we are now checking the attendance/baptisms ratio at some conventions by simply divide the number of baptisms to the attendance number.
Far ago in the 70-ies it was like 5% before 1975
Last year we was around 0,55%
(quite like the Italy in fact )
2009: 338/70000 (0,48%)
This year we have counted only 2 conventions this far
0.5% and a whooping of only 0.2% at one!
This cult is on the way down here for sure!
How are the numbers at yours?
active unbaptised publisher here.you?
(though i already know the answer for some people).
I am sure this has come up before but if most members here are DFd, or inactive then why call this site Jehovah´s witness.net? It implies that all are active witnesses here. Shouldn´t it be called FormerWitness.net or something more fitting?
This board actually started as a true Jehovas-Witness site (!)
But when people come together and things beeing discussed with open minds... the board turn into what it is today.
Amazing. if you asked me...
the poor gb can't seem to get a break on the internet!.
forgive me if it's been posted before.. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tab0upri3t0.
That was funny! So wierd!
i'm trying to compare some statistics and figures on this to share later in the thread to see if more long-time witnesses are exiting- or are newer witnesses exiting after a shorter period of time.
and - are more people exiting in the last 10 to 15 years than before.
so your answers would be helpful in looking into this .
