Jehovah's Witnesses - Once Again the Fastest Growing Faith in the U.S.

by davidl7 in

jw
friends

according to the latest statistics published by the ncc in its yearbook of american and canadian churches, the jehovah's witnesess had the highest growth rate, in 2010 growing 4.37%.

this is, i believe, is the 4th year in a row, that the witnesses had the highest growth rate.

roman catholics grew by less than 1%, as did most of the other churches listed.

How is it f'n possible JW's biggest religious increase 4.4%

by troubled mind in

just saw that on the evening news .

are they all having babies now or what ?

is there any stats on how many have left ?.

You can sort of see how the spanish is leading the way in growth by looking at Mexico and Brazil. Look at their growth over the last decade. Why? Hell if I know. I don't want to say that it's their lack of education, but - like I said, hell if I know.

What I am certain of - is that in the US - if it were not for Spanish, you'd have no growth, probably negative. That's from COs and Bethelites.

I did a quick search online, and although nothing official is actually out there, Mexican illegal immigration has had double digit ANNUAL percentage growth in the US in the last decade.

When I was in spanish last decade, our CIRCUIT split 3 times in 5 years.

Spanish growth plus foreign language is likely 90% of the growth. The other 10% is 5 year olds turning in a time slip for putting a tract in the door.

Not knocking the spanish immigrants - but, these folks breed like salmon. And if one comes in - the whole family does. Moreover - many of the ones that become JWs are not literate, so many of them are just doing it for family. They have no idea about the beliefs.

I've had a couple COs and friends at bethel tell me that English only has had negative growth for years.

Are ALL religious ideas TRUE?

by brotherdan in

there was once a christian that was attending seminary that felt unusually bold one sunday morning.

he decided to go to a random church that he had never attended before.

he went to the service and sat in one of the pews.

Dan I hate to say it - but watching you quote mine the koran, and ignore how you do the same thing with bible - it really shows you're attached to your beliefs without reason or logic. Sorry bro - calling it like it is. I'm sure you'll come up with some excuse as to why you don't see yourself as you are. Keep looking into yourself though, eventually you'll find peace when you leave the cognitive dissonance behind.

MrsJones - I was at this restaurant once and already seated with my wife - just the two of us, table could seat four though. But the restaurant was packed and tiny, with a bit of a wait. This guy comes out of nowhere and asks if we mind if he shares our table - it happened so quick - that before I could say no, he was already seated. So I was like - sure, I guess. Next thing I know he's talking nonsense and I realize right away why he's alone. He's a nutjob. Now here on the internet - a lot of lonely nutjobs do the same thing - just like goodship. Unfortunatetly, he's already seated with nothing to prevent him from joining in - and of course - which thread does he choose? Alice's. Welcome to the interwebs.
