    Ineffective: violence, picketing, yelling to get your points across, bizarre outfits and demonstrations outside of Kingdom Halls/assembly halls, airing rumors and unsubstantiated "information" and (unfortunately... ) most revelations or discussions of the child-molestation cover-ups, expressing doubts to Jehovah's Witness familly members, asking elders for 'assistance' in understanding (coz' that could REALLY backfire on you), pursuing a "worldly" lifestyle in rebellion (i.e. drugs, pornography, multiple sexual partners, excessive drinking and other versions of immature behavior), being vocal about your concerns and doubts BEFORE building an adequate 'escape' route...

    Effective: Using older - or better still, fairly current - Watchtower Society literature to show their flip-flops and contradictions, discussing - extensively - the number of brothers and sisters on anti-depressants and other psycho-tropic drugs - but without appearing to be 'criticizing', reading directly - and extensively - from ONLY the bible, especially scriptures that contradict or expose the Watchtower Society's man-made dogma, mentioning scientific studies that show that the number of earthquakes/floods/famines/wars/financial downturns nowadays are no greater than those in the past, also scientific studies that indicate that far greater numbers of people nowadays have a much HIGHER standard of living than in the past - ESPECIALLY during 'biblical' times...

    free2beme has a good point. When you can show that walking with Jehovah does not mean walking with Jehovahs Witnesses, then that would be effective and damming.

    Walking with Jehovah means trusting in him and his son. It does not mean that somehow He is waiting for your timeslp to go to some random MS then Elder, the Secretary and then Brooklyn to be tallied so that you are worthy. Many fill in those time sheets just for the sake of filling in a timesheet. It's busy work designed to keep you reliant on sons of men.

    Walking with Jehovah means listening to his word and following it. It does not mean you can't understand the bible without a random person in Brooklyn to teach you. Many who are in do not know this, but the writing commitee is not made up only of members of the GB.
