more than one-third of muslims (39%), white mainline protestants (37%), buddhists (37%), and the religiously unaffiliated (36%) have at least a four-year college degree.
another 19% are catholic, 2% are latter-day saint, and less than 1% each are jehovah’s witnesses or orthodox christians.
Really, it just goes to show you how ineffective their witnessing is if in the birthplace of Jehovah`s witnesses the USA is 1% or less .
I totally disagree. Compared to the LDS the JWs have twice the activity rates. A JWs are also more engaged in their faith. Quite frankly JWs would blow the lds out of the water.
i was appointed as a regular pioneer in a certain congregation.
in that congregation, a very obese male pioneer seduced a nice looking married pioneer sister who had two teenage sons.
her husband was a ms. both were df'd.
Silentbuddah - No flys on that guy.
wondering if anyone here knows why local congregations in ecuador do not have accounts under the congregation’s name.
i just found out they use the personal information of one of the elder’s 😳 wtf .
what’s the legal reason for this?
I’m guessing if the bank account was in the elders name, and supposedly with no auditing accountability. Wt would just be leaving themselves wide open to be ripped off.

Interesting. I was unaware of this
I’m going to mention this DO by name, as he is an internationally, infamous, arse. Hans Hubler was such a narcissistic Nazi, it leaves me scratching my head why WT put up with his antics for so long. He upset so many people that (according to unofficial sources) they ended up moving him from country X to the pacific island area. It was there where he overstepped the mark and WT stepped in and removed him.
The turning point for me was a question raised by a work colleague concerning the divorce rate amongst Christian denominations. Unable to find any satisfying answers the magazines, I decided to google it. That sent me down a rabbit hole I was unable to come up out of. From this question been asked to physically walking out the door took about 18 months.
jehovah’s witnesses: “shut up and be blessed“ - was i in a cult?

I listened to the interview. To be honest I found the 2 conducting the interview to be quite condescending and insensitive to the serious nature of the topic. I also found the interview to be very disjointed. If I was Daniel I wouldn’t be happy with how I was treated. Out of 10 I’d give it a 2.

That used to annoy me that. Screw around. Do your 6 months. Then start up where you left off.
i've not heard anything from pimi wife about going back to the khs yet let alone the door to door work.. many churches round here have re-opened if only for private pray and i am guessing that things like singing may be a factor in the reluctance of the witnesses to get back together again.
i also detect that many older ones are still quite afraid to go anywhere they may come in contact with people, even for shopping.
on the other hand, here in uk you can now go to a football match with 70,000 others shouting and chanting.. the door to door work may a total different issue.
They become an online religion and it will be the end of them.
2021-09-22-covid jw deaths--philippines .
see the bottom of paragraph 1.
"these figures indicate that the ratio of deaths among the brothers is even higher than among the general population.
There are a number of reasons to explain this. A socially older, poorer, and less well educated demographic. Their application of 1 Tim 4:8, would imply a community less conditioned to fighting disease and obesity.
