The grown in Great Britian and Japan is indeed slow. But although there has been a decline in baptisms, the retention rate is substantially higher than in the past.

JW Urban Legends
by ZeroKool29 ini was once told that john denver (folk singer of songs like rocky mountain high and such) was on the tonight show one night.
he was a huge patriot and apparently had no love whatsoever for jw's.
apparently as the story goes, john gets up to sing a patriotic song and before he begins tells the audience "if there are any jehovah witnesses in the audience, you may want to leave right now.

Alright here it goes. It is said that Gloria Estefan was interviewed on a radio talk show. They asked her what was her wish, if she could only have one. She said she would'nt wish for anything to have because she already has everything. But if she were to have to wish, she would like to have Jehovah's WItnesses heads cut off! And then she giggles. I have talked to several JWs who swear they heard this.

Dateline, CNN, CBS, ABC, NBC, FOX, BBC, CBC, New York Tim es and over 30 countries around the world have presented documentaries that have identified child rapists who enjoy sanctuary in Jehovah?s Witness congregations.
This quote makes it sound as if JWs are really known as phedophile protectors. If you really think of the exposure, it really isn't a huge story to tv networks. Dateine NBC only aired a some 20 minute story about the allegations after not promising when, if ever, the story would actually air. The show drew one of the lowest viewership rating for the show on that night for the season. Dateline hasn't done any follow-ups or aired the same segment since then. Other networks, like CBS and CNN, have never done any in-depth investigation reports.

It appears that you are assuming many things. Me reading the bible or Awake or your wife soon leaving you if she doesnt quit, is another. I feel sorry you see things that are really not there. Best advice I can give you is not to believe everything you hear. And don't limit yourself to read or hear from one point of view (which is this site).

JWs don't charge for any literature. Everything is supported by donations. There is no number of mags a W can give away.

JWs wives don't divorce ther husbands when becoming Witnesses.
I also used to attend a Spanish congregation. In all the years, I've never heard anybody-- Witnesses and other people-- use the word 'cult' in Spanish.
Now about JWs being a cult. Please.
Is the WT as dangerous as you all say? They feel NO REGRET in breaking up families, having your wife study behind your back, and sneaking her off to conventions without your blessing. They have little respect for husbands who are non-JWs and will put their demands ahead of you and your family's needs.
I don't know if you know this, but there's something that's called 'A Personal Decision'. Just like there are some things a couple must decide together, there are also some things a person should decide on their own. And one of those things is faith. And you should treat her with respect instead of what looks good to you and how you want things done.To say that she will have little respect for you if she decides to become a Witness is a lie.
I am going to Kingdom Hall with her tonight to keep an I on her and learn more. I feel strong enough in bodymind and spirit to do so.
C'mon now. She is not a child. There is nothing to be afraid of. Keep us posted.Any more advise would be helpful in helping me contain myself tonight

Some time ago, this question was asked. Some said they weren't physically active anymore. Others got more lazy.
