As one of Jehovah's Witnesses I generally believed our religion stood out from the crowd as one of the better ones. So... how do JW fair? Well lets compare JWs with Mormons (chosen because they're kinda similar) and Hindus (chosen because they're very different) as per the Pew Report.
Size...
Mormons 1.7%
JWs 0.7%
Hindus 0.4%
Conclusion = Those Mormons are everywhere!
Gender...
JWs 40% male and 60% female
Mormons 44% male and 56% female
Hindus 61% male and 39% female
Conclusion = If you're a JW girl who wants to marry a man, consider becoming a Hindu!
Income...
JWs mostly poor with 42% at < $30,000
Mormons have 26% at < $30,000
Hindus mostly rich with 43% >= $100,000
Conclusion = If you're a JW girl who wants to marry a rich man, consider becoming a Hindu!
Education...
Most JWs are high school graduates (51%). A JW Ph.D. would be rare (3% post graduate)
Mormons tend to be high school graduates (32%) and some college (32%)
Hindus, they be smart folk (48% post graduate)
Conclusion = If you're a JW girl who wants to marry a rich, smart man, consider becoming a Hindu!
Marriage...
Most JWs are married (53%), but what is this 14% divorced or separated?
Mormons are a marrying crowd at 73% and look only 9% divorced or separated.
But Hindus win at 79% married and only 5% divorced or separated.
Conclusion = If you're a JW girl who wants to marry a rich, smart, faithful man, consider becoming a Hindu!
Go to meetings multiple times per week...
71% of JWs do
31% of Mormons do
10% of Hindus do
Conclusion = If you're a JW girl who wants to marry a rich, smart, faithful, available man, consider becoming a Hindu!
Pray daily?...
89% of JWs do
82% of Mormons do
62% of Hindus do
Conclusion = If you're a JW girl who wants to marry a rich, smart, faithful, available man and eat dinner while it is still hot, consider becoming a Hindu!
Believe they have the ONE TRUE faith...
77% of JWs do
54% of Mormons do
10% of Hindus say so, however most (85%) Hindus say there is MORE THAN ONE TRUE way
Conclusion = If you're a JW girl who wants to marry a rich, smart, faithful, available, tolerant man and eat dinner while it is still hot, consider becoming a Hindu!
That's all I have for now. I'm off to read the Bhagwad Geeta...
