a major new survey of religion in america reports three huge trends: that "nones"people claiming no religionconstitute the only "religious" tradition that's growing in all 50 states, that nearly 40 percent of mainline protestants now also identify themselves as evangelical or born again, and that the nation's massive roman catholic population has shifted from the northeast to the southwest.

according to one survey's investigators, "california now has a higher proportion of catholics than new england.".

This article was mentioned at the meeting last Sunday by the speaker who stated this was fullfilling Matthew 24:12 "... the love of the greater number will cool off." Then he said 'even amongst Jah's people we see this happening' you don't say???

Too many innocent Russian JWs will suffer because of this fascist ruling. I feel very sorry for the children especially. This is awful.

I have noticed that usually, when one so adamantly speaks out against homosexuality, that person has issues and/or is questioning his own sexual identity and by using all those arguments against homosexualtiy, he is really trying to convince himself. Just my two cents.

Losing My Religion
A documentary

Losing My Religion
In and Out of the Jehovah's Witnesses Organization

View teaser

This is my story. I was once one of Jehovah's Witnesses. When I left I wanted to find others like myself. What I discovered was a community of people who were going through an accelerated learning process in the school of life - sometimes tragic, always exciting. What we all have in common is a search for our personal identities.

Daily, over 6,000,000 Jehovah’s Witnesses are being instructed that very soon, those who do not obey their exact teachings will be ferociously exterminated by God himself in Armageddon at the end of the ‘world’!

So who are these people? And what is it like to be one of Jehovah's Witnesses?

Losing My Religion is a soul-searching, interview-style film documenting the experiences and exoduses of Jehovah’s Witnesses as they leave behind family, friends, their acquired interpretation of “God”, and a very unique ‘fundamentalist reality’ . Losing their religion, many who leave must undergo an often emotionally agonizing and dramatic transition into the once ‘forbidden’ world.

Jehovah's Witnesses who ‘awaken’, who figure things out and leave; who permanently lose their religion , and speak up against the Watchtower Society , are in fact accused of being the absolute worst of all creation. Basically, the Watchtower Society’s stand is: ‘You are either with us or against us’.
