I would file a complaint to the company owner or your boss, I know of quite a few companies that do not tolerate religious preaching at the work place. It's called worker rights !
I think Crumpet has a very good idea also in affect to embarrass the woman in front of others, and it's an easy task with this stupid religion.
I work with one who's right down the hall from me. One day she's shouting and cussing everybody out and the next day she's got her Bible and other theocratic material. I tell you all, she's a time bomb waiting to go off. Is it just me, or does it seem that in the last few years the Witnesses have become downright malevolent? There's a coldness to them, an evil spirit? that is very unsettling. Whatever it is, the Spirit of the Lord Jesus is definitely missing.

Some are okay...some are just idiots all the time. I heard this from an ex-jw. One jw where he worked insisted on putting a WT or Awake on his desk. Several complained that now they could put out their religious literature, bibles, and hang up crosses and pics of Jesus (I wonder who took that one). So he complained to me about being "persecuted." Couldn't see how the work rule applied to everyone, not just jws.
Then he married a non-jw just released from prison and everyone asked me why he could do that; that they thought jws could only marry other jws. That "brother" probably has pist off more non-jws than I have my whole life in those 2 actions.

Ask her if she plans to donate to cover all the settlements in the child molestation cases. And if there will be a special contribution box designated for that purpose.
My mom started preaching to me when I visit her but then I started preaching back all the underhanded things the society does. Everytime she preaches to me, I preach back. She doesn't preach to me that much any more. As for your coworker, start printing out the junk about the society from newspapers. Also if you have a laptop, download the videos on silentlambs and show them to her and your coworkers. That should shut her up, maybe even get her to investigate.
I would definately drop a line in somewhere, that you heard they settled their child abuse cases in California, out of court. Then ask if they have a special fund set up to cover these types of costs! (Make sure other co-workers hear you!)

Be careful re anything that would embarass her; workers rights include freedom from religious persecution. Handle the situation maturely and professionally. If it comes to it, be the first one to file a complaint to your boss. If it gets worse, tell him that it is not appropriate that you should have to face her religious intolerance in the workplace.
If you want your JW co-worker to stop preaching to you, stop dressing like this...
... She's just concerned about your spiritual well being.
