  How Many on JWNet are still JWs?

  by RayPublisher in

  i've been wondering about this for some time.

  if there are 60,000+ registered users on here, what percentage are actual non-dfed or non-daed witnesses?

  if it was 1/3, that would be over 20,000 active/inactive witnesses that post and read these pages- and that's huge.

  I'm still in for family (still live with my parents). I will leave, eventually; when I have the chance.

  Well, of course they think you're Anakin. From their point of view, you've embraced the Dark Side.

  @sabastious

  You'll never find such an article because it does not exist. What I posted was said in the pioneer school, and given the nature of its conductors this could have been a regional thing, something they just added.

  Did you fake underlining the WT?

  by shepherd in

  i read on another topic " i remember when i used to carry microphones years ago in the jw cult- only about 30 % had their wt's pre-studied, the rest just wing it i truly believe" and it reminded me that people will assume you are not familiar with the material if you have not underlined, and that there will always be those who observe the lack of ink and consider you must be unprepared (and so 'weaker' than them).. many times i used to fake prestudy just for that reason.

  its easy to do, underline a random sentence or 2 in each paragraph or the sited scripture.

  you can wizz through an entire article in 3 minutes....did anyone else do that?.

  @NewChapter

  There isn't much to explain, they simply said that if you did certain things to your pet(s) (like letting them inside, buying them accesories, loving them too much) it constituted idolatry.

  A few years ago this very thing was repeated in the pioneer school. They basically said that pets should not be allowed inside the house, if at all. I, of course, say screw them. I'll keep my pets where it's best for them. Inside.

  Movies that resonate with you as an ex-JW or awake JW

  the matrix - "do you want the blue pill or the red pill?

  ", "all i offer you is the truth", "ignorance is bliss", "the matrix is all around us".

  shutter island - creepy, is it real or isn't it, it turns out the whole thing is a dream.

  my old congo will be there as they're based about 80 miles away.

  Isn't that what the Watchtower wants? People who are easily distinguishable. Just a marketing device.
