I wonder if the Hare Krishna left there thinking, "What a strange group of people. Why can't they just pass out flowers like a normal cult?"

This was my favorite line:
although the public seem quite disinterested in their literature they distribute an enormous quantity of it world-wide.

Interesting, his personal analysis about JWs being like atheists.
Is that so, that the magazines printed are about 40M/monthly. Is that globally? Or, was that just for Australia?

It is quite bewildering to me. In many ways they are preaching the same thing as the atheists. The atheists claim there is no life after death. They claim one simply dies. The witnesses agree. The atheists claim there is no eternal soul. The witnesses agree. The atheists claim there is no Hell, the witnesses agree. The atheists say everything happens by chance and there is no karma involved in any suffering we may experience. The witnesses agree…
Well, he got this wrong; everything doesn't happen by chance, it's due to Satan. I guess they weren't being upfront with their explanations - anyone surprised?
