Activity does not mean growth. Last year they went backwards and i expect this year will be the same.
I won’t repeat myself.

The 2020 Census of American Religion 07.08.2021
by AndersonsInfo inhttps://www.prri.org/research/2020-census-of-american-religion/.
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 just found out they use the personal information of one of the elder’s 😳 wtf .

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.

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.

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.

Any signs that Kingdom Halls will re-open soon or door to door work will re-start again?
by eyeslice ini'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.
