  Gotta love this actual quote from the letter:

  “Your congregation has not been selected [but], ... please be assured of our warm Christian love and best wishes.”

  Incredible. Sadly, it's nothing new really, just a more virulent strain of cult-behaviour.

  This religion destroys families. That's the truth, the real truth.

  Prayers ,are they answered ? or is it just self delusion ?

  by smiddy3 in

  1. watchtower

  after 33 years as a jw and leaving 25 years ago i think prayer can be summed up with the jews praying at the wailing wall.. all they are doing is talking to a brick wall ,and getting no feed back.

  and they expect an answer to their prayers ?!.

  christians /other beliefs might find that funny but they are no better off.. prayer is always a one way street you talk either vocally or mentally to god however you never get the same back .. if god " so loved the world that he doesnt want any to be destroyed but have everlasting life " then whats the problem with him audibly answering his servants prayers ?

  If you talk to God, you are praying. If God talks to you, you have schizophrenia

  PREDICTION: Expect similar follow up letters for Irma ... Jose ... and Katia.

  The GB and the rest of the WT leadership are nothing more than heartless and immoral opportunists seeking to greedily benefit from the tragic losses suffered by others. Letters like this right from the source are clear proof of that.

  It's important that we continue to expose them for who and what they are!

  This religion destroys families. Some see through it and put their families first. In my experience, most do not.

  It's shameful.

  JWs Among the Least Educated in the US

  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.
