Has there ever been any research conducted on JW suicide rates?
by Scooby-Doo in... and if so, could you provide me with a link to the results?.
i've read on-line that the suicide rate for jws is 4x that of 'worldly' people.
that figure doesn't sound too shocking to me, and i'd expect it to be even higher among teens... especially those who would be already considered 'at risk' even without the jw element.. but i still haven't seen any actual published statistics.

i was 17 years old the only one in my family.

Maximum Damage to the WT.
by Essan ini have to hand it to the society.
they understand the power of organization.
they demonstrate that no matter how ridiculous your message and how much the facts don't support your position you can still accomplish a lot if you are organized.

Heavenly Hope
by Quendi inhere are some questions i want to pose to our friends here.
does a person have to be baptized to go to heaven and if one must get baptized, how is this to be arranged and by whom?.
the reason i ask this is many here have professed their belief that they are part of the body of christ, should partake of the emblems whenever they celebrate the lord's supper, and will go to heaven after they die if they have been faithful.

Watchtower and Communist propaganda
by aqwsed12345 inhave you ever wondered about the similarity of the watchtower-style and communist propaganda?
think about the "years' text" on kingdom halls'walls or catchwords on circuit assemblies.
on communist party assemblies there were a same-type text like "long live the socialism" etc.
