  Where this poll and the Watchtower’s statistic intersect is impossible to say. Watchtower counts active JWs only. The Pew Poll will likely be these as well as those who identify as JWs in whatever way, inactive, even DFed, former unbaptized publishers, Bible Studies, raised in a JW household but never really made any sort of commitment. If counted, I suspect the number would likely be double than merely counting active JWs, as reflected by Memorial attendance.

  Those who leave the JW identification (as reflected in the Pew poll) would likely come more from the nebulous group, than those active. However, to some degree, I’m sure the same proportion of dropouts are reflected in the active count as well.

  There were 136167 more active publishers in 2014 than in 2007. Most of these were likely Spanish speaking.

  JW UN Rumor

  by ivanatahan in

  yes, i have returned.. a short recap of major events since my inactivity began: i finally revealed to my parents that i do not believe the same thing they believe in (after i was caught smooching my girlfriend by a family of good-for-nothing pieces of human feces), and of course they view themselves as failed parents who were unable to brainwash their children.

  that is, of course, the reason why they are much more controlling over what i do in my life now (my mom even tried having a "bible study" with me).

  i told them everything and i was unable to dent their jw imposed mind force field, while also exposing a clear jw misunderstanding of probability, evolution, history, logic/reason, and the big bang theory.. in a conversation i had with my mother a few weeks back (i also heard this rumor before, but my mother told me it again), she mentioned how the un held a summit of all religions and when the jws presented themselves and mentioned their preaching work warning of the coming un ban on religion (referring to an international organization who can't even prevent genocide, much less impose human rights), a un official came up to the jw who presented the cult and told him to "speed up the preaching work", because they plan on doing the ban soon.. it saddens me to think of how ignorant jws are in relation to the principles upon which the un was founded and being unaware that the un at least has some sense as to not ban religion, but this rumor, as ridiculous as it is, needs to be put at rest.

  I heard basically the same variant, only it was a pioneer talking to a UN official in an elevator. Perhaps the pioneer was visiting the UN as a tourist.

  Actaully the black demographic had a 5% increase. Of course, I wonder how many of those are immigrants as well.

  Here is the raw data.

  They do have education reported from 2014, but not 2007.

  They do show income in the pew polls.

  In 2007, the distribution was:

  <30K	42%
  30k to 49k	23%
  49k to 99k	26%
  100k+	9%

  <30K	48%
  30k to 49k	25%
  49k to 99k	22%
  100k+	4%

  This is a change from 7 years ago.

  In 2007, it was 48% white, 22% black, and 24% Latino. There has been quite a demographic shift.

  Getting the Urge!

  evening folks, so as some of you may know we have recently decided to leave the witnesses and can see it for the man made organisation it is.

  so, why do i get the urge to go back and feel guilty for not being there!

  it's like my mind is telling me to be logical about it all but then something keeps pulling me back.. don't get me wrong i really want to break free from it all and i'm resisting the urge to go back as i have been miserable in the truth for a long time as i've known it's not right and want to do the best by my daughter.

  i was asked if i knew of any jdubs within my congregation that could help out counting the money for this years regional convention, imitate christ.

  so i gave a few names and included my wife, i was hoping for her to wake up and see how the org is all about the money in the back room.

  do you think it woke her up a bit?

  If JWs only knew "apostates" were counting their donation money and handling it honestly. LOL!
