I think protesting at a DC is a bad idea. JW's already have a huge persecution complex. Why feed into it? Better to just continue making all the facts about the history and nature of the organization available. People will believe what they want to believe.

Witnesses have all of the problems that high control groups experience but it is nothing in comparison to Christendom.
1900 years of trinitarian on trinitarian violence and bloodshed and imperialism. Now there is a history to be proud of.
RUN.

I think it would depend how it's done. I think the plackard signs wouldn't be too bad, dropping off tracts wouldn't be bad either. The screaming, yelling and so forth needs to stop. I did a response video to that tool in the devil suit at the convention and two weeks later he pulled the video of him doing it.
If you are planning anything, make the signs big, make them readable, and make them unrefutable. I would probably put something like:
"Can you be punished for leaving your organization; if you can that is a property of a destructive cult."
"Can you openly express doubts about the teachings of your organization, if you can't that's a property of a destructive cult."
"Do you have a derrogatory term for people like me; if you do that is a property of a destructive cult."
"Do you have any books that I wouldn't be able to get; if you do that is a property of a destructive cult."

I think screaming at Witnesses is bad, but that doesn't happen everywhere. I remember one convention I attended in Houston where
some people were only handing out tracts, nothing else. I took one and read it. Must say, it raised a lot of questions in my mind,
although I didn't leave until years later. So, just remember what every little doubt planted can lead to.

Listen, try having an open discussion on theology in a Fundamentalist Baptist Church or Assembly of God Church or try disagreeing with the Westminster Confession in a Presbyterian Church. You'll be shown the door pretty quick.
Witnesses who walk out of one door and into another church aren't improving their lot in life by much. The trinity- the god who tortures.

The trinity- the god who tortures.
As opposed to Jehovah the God who takes pleasure in letting his people kill for him, then moves on to mass murdering himself.

Tuesday,
Most groups that have followed a Unitarian/Arius/Socinian model have been remarkedly non-violent. They tend towards universal salvation with the exception of Rutherford 's group who opted for second death classification on judgment day, but still they fundamentally are non-violent non warring in their general doctrine. Hard to say that about the Church of Rome, Protestants, and the Eastern Orthodox over the past 500 years.
Leave, but be careful were you land.
