    LOL@Jehovadanndy & franswaaaa

    In Australia we all speak our Queens english. A Jehovah's Witness is a Jehovah's Witness (though most people give up trying to pronounce such a difficult name and just grunt or mumble something like 'not interested' . In fact the expression "not interested" is so popular at the approach of an oncomming witness it's only a matter of time before the WBTS registers the name to prevent it becomming a breakaway sect of it's own.

    Gee wouldn't it be neat at the doors ... get in first - "g'day, i'm one of Not Intersted and i'm calling to offer you a free home bible study" ... aaaa

    It's been a while. But in Wisconsin they said J-Hova. At least that was the way it sounded to me. By the way at the time I was just a little country bumpin from Texas. So they sounded like a foren speaking folks to me.

    Outlaw's right - we used to call 'em Joe-Hoes or Jay-Dubs. Even Vee-Dubs (short for Volkswagen) as a nickname.
