there was a statement in a 1997 awake that i see people quoting on the internet that is trying to imply 4.9% of jws are divorced compared to half of worldly people.
i have found some statistics that prove that this is quite a deception.
awake 1997 september 8 p.11 a people taught to love.
definitely deceptive stats.
Of the 145000 German witnesses maybe half would be under 16 for a start. A percentage will be unmarried or widowed.
A statistic of 50% of marriages ending in divorce is not the same as saying 50% of the population are divorcees!
newbie here, a lil about me......grew up around the jw religion, never was baptized but i did get to the level of "unbaptized publisher" once, as of now i dont attend any "meetings", but still get the watchtowers and awakes pushed to me by family members.
it's actually been 3 years since i realized that it wasnt the "truth", even though i've probably have known it all along.
my question to the groups is, how long did it take you to stop calling it "the truth"?
Hi Guys!
I stopped calling it "the truth" within weeks.
I correct any Witness who says ". . . when you're ' in the truth ' " by saying very pointedly " I think you mean't to say "when you're one of Jehovah's Witnesses"
It challenges their glib assumption and, after 4 or 5 corrections in a few minutes, really annoys them!
They don't realise how often they say it and the implications of saying it.
the neurosurgeon called it glioblastoma.
the radiologist affirmed it was glioblastoma.
--glioblastoma is the brain cancer tumor that they diagnosed for my mother last friday from her mri results.

i went to comet yesterday and bought a new tv, it cost 1300 so ofcourse we handled it with utmost care all the way home.. when we got it home we took it out of the packaging to discover a huge crack all the way down the screen.. so i phoned up the customer service helpline and was put through to the store we bought it from, and spoke to the most unhelpfullest people on the planet, they denied all responsibility but eventually agreed to send an engineer round to fix it tomorrow.. then today i got a phone call from their repair department saying that the engineer was booked in error and that i should contact phillips, the makers of the tv.. so i phoned phillips and they said i should contact the store for a refund or exchange.. so i just phoned the store back and spoke to one of the muppets from the office who again denied it was their fault and said she will speak to the repair department again and call me back.. does anyone know what i can do about this or what i'm entitled to?
Curry's and Dixons are part of the same group but I'm fairly sure Comet are not.

ok - it's england leading 2-1 in the ashes series.
with one more match remaining.
england is having good luck with winning the tosses, which makes sense as tossers should be good at tossing.
I predict Pieterson will make . . . er let me see. . . 158 after being dropped by Warne while on 15.
Just a wild guess.
And Flintoff will get pissed for 3 days.
what would it say?
A friend of ours actually bought a "funny" for his door.
It said "Share your feelings with a Jehovah's Witness"
and had a pic of a Garfield type cat holding up a sign which said
"Bugger off or I will shoot You!"

Well I'm sat in the shop, working hard (!) and looking back over a fab summer of Ozzie baiting where they didn't ram it back down our throats!
It's been a gas guys! (for any lurking Yanks!)
So are we doing footy next? Who's your team Tij!
