Jehovah's Witnesses Bancroft Congregation

"Bread on trays and wine in goblets passed to members of the congregation, just like Communion in many other denominations." Last year, only 10,857 partook of those emblems (chosen for their heavenly calling), 18 million attended, not allowed to partake.

Jehovah's Witnesses Bancroft Congregation

"boys in suits and ties and girls in dresses, all matching the formality of their parents and chatting happily" and being so "still." JW kids just love dressing like this for 5 meetings a week that are boring and not child realistic. They just love to go into boring door-to-door work which is unproductive. They love to not celebrate their birthdays, or do any holidays. They love not to do any school extracurriculars as organized sports, band, nor any encouragement plans for collge. They love how they are taught that the non-JW kids, as well 99%+ of the world population will be destroyed soon at Armageddon. Why do 2 out of 3 JW children leave this high-mind control religion by their adulthood??
