dozy
Very few JWs that I knew read the bible as such - generally it was in conjunction with the Societies publications. I remember once being in a meeting where a circuit overseer asked for a show of hands from anyone in the congregation who had read the bible from Genesis to Revelation - only a couple of people put their hands up ( from a congregation of 120. )
It's a bit of an odd survey when you start digging down into the data.
For example , apparently 38% of JWs don't believe in heaven. 5% put their marital status as unmarried , but living with a partner ( which likely would interest the local elders! )
