50,000 disfellowshipped, 30,000 reinstated
by Gladring inas mentioned in the thread - http://www.jehovahs-witness.net/jw/friends/171251/1/jws-on-bbc - on the bbc website under the beliefs section they state that "elders disfellowship 50,000 to 60,000 witnesses around the world every year.
each year, however, 30,000 to 40,000 are reinstated having "come back to their spiritual senses".".
does anyone know where they could have got those stats?.

"Locally, I know some who have gone back and it's almost always so they can be accepted by their JW families of origin. But, overwhelmingly, the number disfellowshipped appears to far exceed those who ever go back into Kingdom Halls.
I would guess that a disfellowshipped person who has family in the religion is more likely to go back than a disfellwoshipped person whose family is not in the religion. That would be a very interesting hypothesis to test"
Yeah I think your right about that because I do not have immediate family still in so it was not as tough a decision for me to not go back.

You do realize that this guy you just met is probably lying about not having sex with his girlfriend just so he can get into your pants?

Actually the Birds are supposed to pick the bones clean of the bodies. So you have to wait for the birds to get done and smell the bodies while the birds feast!

If Nancy Pelosi bit me in the ass I would know she was at minimum a socialist! There is nothing Pelosi would want more than having the goverment run everything.
One of the reason's Obama picked Ron Emanuel as Cheif of Staff is because he is a "Bulldog" and is probably best suited to handle Pelosi, who will be a pain in Obama's ass.

Nancy Pelosi has to go! Obama will be spending a great deal time having to do an end around on this wack job! I have a friend that is very liberal and he says that as stupid as Pres Bush was so is Nancy Pelosi! She needs to go back to San Francisco where her communist ideology is more accepted.
