  2014 Pew Research on US Religion

  by adjusted knowledge in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  the pew survey i've been reading is quite lengthy, but filled with interesting information.

  it really explains a lot of the social issues.

  impact of little education, donation issues, the issues of women finding marriage partners.

  "They don't even make up 1 full percent point of the entire Christen Community."

  Well said! And what I am embarrassed to think back upon, is how I was raised and brought up to believe that this religion was so important, highly thought of, and "special." Ha! They are ants in the afterbirth of the1800's Adventist movement, which is just about done moving and DEAD. The outright arrogance (and ignorance) to walk around all day, every day, thinking that you are elite and special, because that's what's been drummed into your head since the day you were born. That everyone else is wrong, and somehow your denomination is right. That 99.2% of all other people on the planet are fleshy bird food, and YOU are going to be petting pandas in front of your Chalet in the New Order. All because that 99.2% has a differing of opinion or interpretation of the Bible, as opposed to what the Governing Body SAYS the bible means? The incredible gall!

  And what's worse is that there are still people alive today that are buying into this elitist attitude. Truly, there are suckers born every minute, and Cults aim to keep them that way!

  So let me get this straight, Mormons outnumber JW's by 2 to 1 ?

  So much for growth being an indicator of God's approval of the "Organization." Hahahahahaha!

  Poorest, dumbest, loneliest religion in all the land - pretty much sums up this pathetic excuse of a Cult masquerading as a religion. Ugh!

  I'm 35. I don't think the above statement about most being above age 50 is true at all. I think younger users are on here and haven't posted, as they are lurking after looking into all things JW because of what they've heard or how they've been treated.

  first time, been lurking for years, but i asked my husband who has been studying for 20 plus years if he has ever questioned those that were "teaching" him.

  blew my mind.

  i ask him all the questions that you have asked yourself, but he will not ask them.

  @rebelfighter: Your ex-BF JW Elder was a totally deceitful hypocrite. Here he is an Elder, and secretly dating a "Worldly" woman? He could have been disfellowshipped (excommunicated) by the other Elders just for that!!!

  Trust me, that arrogant dufos did you a FAVOR!! I can't believe in 5 years time he didn't take you to meetings, introduce you around, etc. Just used you for sex and THEN questioned whether or not you'd make a good convert and submissive wife. Guess what? You didn't pass his little litmus test, so you were out on your azz!!!

  You dodged a bullet, trust me! Welcome!

  Why is the guy on here begging for money? Hasn't the Governing Body told him, "Jehovah provides?" I'm sure his local Congregation Elders would be happified to throw him some money to help him out. After all, they are his Shepherds, right?

  A prospective juror(JW) really ticks of Judge!

  by truthseekeriam in

  an appellate court has reversed the conviction of a bacliff woman who recorded her boyfriend raping his 14-month-old granddaughter on her cell phone, saying the trial judge tainted the jury by arresting a prospective juror during jury selection.

  alisha marie drake had been sentenced in 2013 to 15 years in prison for using her cell phone to record the act.

  her boyfriend, jason grant, was charged with aggravated sexual assault of a child and possession of child pornography and is awaiting trial.

  Jury selection is NOT based upon whether or not you are a registered voter. It is based upon you having a current driver's license.

  CAH closing down in upstate NY

  yet another circuit assembly hall is going to be sold off!.

  they've been reducing the amount of congregations assigned to meet there and using the times when it isn't in use to make repairs.

  elders have now been informed that they are selling off the property and buildings and that circuits would be assigned to attend other sites, twice as far, three or four hours away, like montreal.

  @ PaintedToeNail: I remember that someone used to live on site to care for the grounds of Grantville. Guess they kicked that guy to the curb, huh? I remember Grantville got a remodel back in the early 00's, wherein they got new carpet, new baptismal pool (I still remember the original one with frogs, iron railing, etc). Do you remember when they still served food there? I do! No longer.

  How many times can they polish that turd up?

  You need money to purchase a computer to finish your studies, yet somehow you are using an electronic device to post on this very forum.

  Things that make you, "Hmmmmm..........? "

  Jehovah LOVES you! He loves you, and he NEEDS money! YOUR money!

  This broadcast will surely wake people up, especially Elder types on the fence who know the whole story behind the "congregation loan forgiveness" scam that the rank-n-file witnesses know nothing about. Could you imagine being an Elder today, and seeing these letters come in, and then see this broadcast full of lies and money-grubbing behavior? The cognitive dissonance must be extreme.
