Some interesting stats from a Pew Research Center Publication, 2014

AND
"Jehovah’s Witnesses . . . make up just less than 1% of U.S. adults." That much huh. Hmmm. Who would have thought.
"Most Jehovah’s Witnesses – roughly two-thirds (65%) – are women, while only 35% are men." Ah, just as I thought, one of those female religions.
"Compared with other U.S. religious groups, Jehovah’s Witnesses tend to be less educated. A solid majority of adult Jehovah’s Witnesses (63%) have no more than a high school diploma, compared with, for example, 43% of evangelical Protestants and 37% of mainline Protestants." Make sense to you as well?
"Jehovah’s Witnesses have a low retention rate relative to other U.S. religious groups. Among all U.S. adults who were raised as Jehovah’s Witnesses, two-thirds (66%) no longer identify with the group." Ouch!
"while half of Jehovah’s Witnesses say they believe in heaven, very few (7%) say they believe in hell." Only half believe in Heaven??? Good grief, what does the other half think happens to them when they die?
"three-quarters (75%) say abortion should be illegal in all or most cases," Gotta wonder about the apostate 25%. Didn't they get the letter?
"similar shares oppose same-sex marriage and say homosexuality should be discouraged by society (76% each)." Of course, because. . . because. . . well just because.
"Roughly three-quarters of Jehovah’s Witnesses (74%) also reject evolution, saying humans have always existed in their present form since the beginning of time." The other 26% being those who went to college and became educated.

These statistics are false--Every real JW believe the exact same thing on matters.
JW,s are more educated than most--They learned Gods will, while others sought better paychecks. You see--only those living now to Do Jesus' Fathers will over self, get to enter his kingdom( Matt 7:21)-- Which has more value a better paycheck? or Eternal life in perfection? One side put Gods kingdom first the other put $$$ first.
We serve an uncorrupt king, we do not cast votes for the corrupt. A vote for the corrupt= a vote for satan.

Post #3What the Bible says happens.
...It doesn't.
Even Bart Ehrman says this. He's an atheist Bible scholar. According to the canon, Heaven is where God is. As far as humans going there, the canonical evidence is thin at best.

99% on earth believe error over truth. Every JW on earth knows 100% there is a heaven-3 of them. Our atmosphere is called heaven, outer space is called heaven, Gods dwelling place is called heaven in the bible. See Gen 1:1 In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.
Sheol( grave) = Hades( grave) = hell.

Re: "A Closer Look At Jehovah’s Witnesses Living In The U.S."
Post #7I have seen this pole before and there are few parts that are over the place. This could be for a couple of reasons.Purple Knight wrote: ↑Thu Aug 03, 2023 6:13 pmWhat the Bible says happens.
...It doesn't.
Even Bart Ehrman says this. He's an atheist Bible scholar. According to the canon, Heaven is where God is. As far as humans going there, the canonical evidence is thin at best.
1. It could be that the question asked of the JWs is too open ended. If you ask me, 'do you believe in Heaven', I'd answer yes of course. But if I think you mean am I going to Heaven then I'd answer no. As kjw47 points out in post 5, JWs understand that Heaven could mean different things. So just asking 'do you believe in Heaven' for us we need to know what do they mean by 'heaven'.
2. It could be the people they asked might identify as a Jehovah's Witness but are not a baptized member. They could still be Bible students and might not have examined some of the deeper points in the Bible.
There are some things the pole that are pretty accurate. Our belief that the Bible is God's Word and we work to be politically neutral is correct. No political party cares about the 'JW vote' because there isn't one. We are also highly diverse in our congregations. We do divide them up by language but never by race.
