First let apologize for not getting back sooner. Family and work take up a great chunk of my time.
And secondly, Friend, I cannot prove to you or anyone that most JWs or 51% of JWs do not pay their bills.
I have however gone over some of my own records to really see why I feel the way I do about JWs. I know this is only from my information and most likely will not matter much to you. So here it is:
Of the total amount of customers that I have done business with in the last 5 years JWs amount to 2.01%.(35% of the congregation) Worldly people are at 97.99 %. (Hope Armageddon doesn't comes too soon cause my family will starve)
Of the total amounts of money owed to me over this 5 year period, JWs are
69% and worldly people are at 31%.
In just the amount that JWs owe, 52% is owed elders.(I trusted them more thus got burned more by them.)
This only shows me what I feel. That there is more risk dealing with JWs than worldly people.
I also realize how insignificant JWs really are in my life and on the other hand how harmful they can be too.
And I didn't count all the stuff I got conned into doing for nothing. You know when Brother/Sister Stuck-up finally talks to you and invites you over to their house. Turns out they need some work done on their(just fill in the blank) and could you look at it while your here. And I'd always do it cause I wanted to be accepted. Of course, next time you see them you weren't good enough to talk to again. Or all the trades you make with them, like you do this for me, I'll do this for you. Some of them did, some didn't.
Anyway got to go.
