this is a request to get some assistance in preparing an estimate of how many jehovah's witness children leave the religion during or after adolescence.
i know the figure is substantial based on my own observations, but we need some way to document it.
please put on your thinking cap and publish your ideas here.
tough one lee
here goes
1 get average number of witnesses per country
2 find out average birth rate per country
3 try to find out percentage of converts to jws
4 take away birth rate + converts from average jws = decline of jws not converts
or something like that
well did i say i was a statistician ? im a window cleaner, come up with your own ideas.
good luck

thank you for your replies.
my computer broke some time ago, and i just bought a new one, but funnily enough ive
found that i dont need to think about the truth as much. i get on better with my family. my dffd sister, and have lent out my apostate books to many active jws. there is currently a huge fight going on in the hall because of the brothers who read them actually quoting them in the meetings!! (minus the titles)
i have held the elders off me because i spoke to one elder and told him id love to get dffd, because i would sue, and publicize it locally. they dont bother me too much, but now accack my bro instead for no real reason.
i will of corse tape all future conversations and download them for you.
regards

howdy guys.
i wanted to pop in and say hello. ive been away for a bit. and am glad to return.
the elders are still trying to df my bro and me, after two years approx.
ill let you know what happens.
see you.

tonight i was leaving my flat with my brother, when a drunk guy from across the road came over shouting that his freinds apartment was on fire.. my brother and my kicked in the door, and went in to the flaming building three times.
we eventually found him slumped over in a sofa.. i thought we were goners because we got lost on the way out, the smoke had by this time filled the room.. my brother and me dragged him out the door when his collection of half finished whisky bottles and gas lighterc refills exploded.. the only casualty was us with smoke inhalation, and my brothers car keys which fell out of his pocket in the rush.. look in the lisburn star on fridays for my smokey face.
a good day .. josephus
hardly supermen.
we went to the door when we couldnt break into the double glazed windows, and the door was half smashed up anyway. allthough i am lucky i shave my head as it would have burned off !!

i felt really good at first, now i just think about how lucky my and my brothere were to get out.
as for the man, i know him a little. he is a brain damaged alcoholic so i dought hell remember the whole event. he was still holding on to the bottle of whisky outside, and fought with me when i took it of him and poured it away.
i wish it was a little kid instead (or even a cute cat)

what an interesting group here!
i have a question to toss out to those of you who were once active jw's that are now born again.. i was a "zealous" jw - raised as one and was an aux pioneer, etc.
my whole family is jw's (elders, etc.).
with all due respect, you are being fooled, IF you think they are especialy clost to the truth.
all religions have flaws good luck if yours admits to its own.
anythings better than jws except scientologists.
