  september 6th, 2017: a just released research survey shows once again that jehovah's witnesses are among the least educated people in the united states: .

  america’s changing religious identity.

  it is also interesting to note how jws rank in the categories of: income, insurance coverage and homeownership.

  Ruby: high school or less category lets them down as they have a massive 68% compared to the national average of 45.1%

  This only seems "massive" because it is for high school or less. Jews, Hindus and others that completed high school and then went on to college or higher are NOT reported in this category.

  I can't figure out if you're deliberately trying to spin these figures in an attempt to try to make them mean something they don't Ruby, or if you really do not know how to read and interpret the data.

  The "some college category" is misleading because that could include anyone that even took just a single class at a local community college.

  The most significant categories are: college graduate and post-graduate. JWs are the absolute lowest in both of these categories. Rock bottom.

  • America’s Changing Religious Identity

  

  It is also interesting to note how JWs rank in the categories of: Income, Insurance Coverage and Homeownership. They are among the lowest in every one of these categories.

  • 45% of JWs report household earnings of less than $30,000 per year
  • Fewer than half of Jehovah’s Witnesses (48%) are homeowners
  • Only 31% report having health insurance through their employer

  I wonder how Bible Studies and baptisms would fare if these statistics were disclosed up front?

  shame to see our multi bilion property and media corporation asks for the last coins of an indian child, the coconuts from a sri lanka man and the last olive oil of a greek poor.. message to the poor is: no money, then your other belongings are belonging to jehova (read:jw.org).. at the end of the article i can click on a donate button and get a visa / mastercard sign om my screen.. follow the money: were are the property bilions?.

  Please give. God needs money. He told me to tell you to give it to me.

  The Watchtower's Medical Expert

  by Lee Elder in

  1. watchtower
  2. medical

  a new article by s. sparrow, published today at ajwrb, investigates dr. joachim boldt, one of the watchtower's “bloodless medicine” experts.

  a notorious “medical pretender” who has exposed jw's to additional needless risk.

  watchtower continues to cite this source, and fails to expose him as a fraud.

  We need Orphan Crow to weigh in on this. As I recall, she is very familiar with this.

  How to disorder a JW (family) chat

  by Gorbatchov in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  we all know the moment that a nice family chat is moving to the propaganda game.. sister in law saying that jw.org is the highest ranked website, cousing saying that the new hq is energy neutral, aunt stating that jw have the best education.... what can we say on these moments?.

  that br splane just likes these new light ideas?.

  that a jw.org video stated that jw use the name jehovah because people recognize this name?.

  Learn the gentle art of changing the subject.
  

  Them: Blah blah, blah blah blah.

  You: That's interesting. Did you know ... ? [And then say something else. Anything else.]

  Repeat as necessary.

  Fisherman: He is far for being a loon.

  You keep saying that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.

  Simon: Trump "needs to make sure that Kim has a way out that saves face."

  And that's exactly the problem. Publicly calling out a bully leaves them no way to "save face."

  Someone needs to take Trump's phone away from him. The man has no understanding of human nature, how others feel or of what's at stake.

  FUJ: Yeah, too bad the US didn't have another Øbama as POsTUS. He could go bow to Kimmie offer an apology and everything would be unicorns and rainbows.

  Perfect example of B&W thinking, as if there were only the two options. And since the one that you presented, FUJ, is clearly ridiculous, then Trump's antagonistic tweets MUST be the correct response, right?

  No!

  This is exactly the problem: the failure to search for and find other options.
