  New study - JWs by far the least educated religious group in Canada, Australia and New Zealand

  by slimboyfat in

  the religion of the educated classes revisited: new religions, the nonreligious, and educational levels - james r. lewis .

  the measure lewis uses to compare religious groups is what percentage of members of the respective religions have graduated from college.

  the findings are similar to the results of the pew survey in the united states.

  This is about 5 years old. The CO is obviously burping it back up.

  The show must go on folks. So sad that life is so meaningless and and the damn meetings take precedence over something like that.

  It's not the first time I've heard of something thing like that. I actually experienced it myself. During a public talk a sister got up and fell head long on the isle floor.

  The jerk giving the talk just continued right on as the attendants tried t scoop her up and bring her to the back.

  Thanks for sharing Henrietta's story.

  Definitely not Tony Morris. I would be surprised if he finished elementary school.

  Question about baptism around 1973- can anyone answer for me?

  by Virgochik in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  i am hoping someone will take a look at this and be able to help me with my question.. i was baptized in 1973, you know, because i was a teenager and old enough to stand on my own when armageddon descended in 1975. .

  perhaps elders, or any former elders especially, but anyone who was around then could help me with this question, because i honestly don't recall, and really need to know.. what were the baptismal questions the candidates responded to back then?

  were we still asked if we repented of our sins, turned around, and were being baptized in the name of the father, the son and the holy spirit?.

  I was baptized in 1973 with the old gold/yellow "Lamp" book and the question included being baptized in the name of the father, son and holy spirit.

  Brother & Sister-in-Law Return to Kingdom Hall After Two Decades, Quickly Get Stumbled

  by TMS in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  it was a mild surprise, learning that a brother and sister-in-law had began re-associating with jehovah's witnesses after at least 25 years of being away.

  the couple, of hispanic ethnicity, are in their early 60's, with their five children all grown and independent.

  the family had been considered nominal jws, infrequently attending meetings, rarely in field service, but using the annual convention as their family vacation.
