  Jehovah's Witnesses are funny in that most have no objective, self-aware view of themselves. They think they are the center of the universe, that their beliefs are undeniable facts, and are generally very entitled. One place this is shown is in the edit history of JW's Wikipedia page. Take a look at some edits done by JWs which promptly had to be deleted.

  First there's this gem of a paragraph that was added:

  We people at The Kingdom hall of Jehovah witnesses we don't want to capture people so they can be in our religion the fact is we,us all people who are in a religion of Kingdom hall of Jehovah witnesses we want all people to know exactly what the word or name Jehovah means and what does Jehovah want us to do in case we want to teach people the meaning of all things Jehovah want us to do

  One user tried to change the founder from Charles Taze Russell to Jesus Christ, and along that line another changed to founder to:

  Jesus through the use Charles Taze Russell

  and then added the note:

  we were not founded by our dear brother russell rather christ used him to jumpstart the preaching work and to unite us

  Yet another added this:

  But in reality The practice of being a Jehovah's witnesses wasn't "founded" by Russell at all.What was to be considered "founded"was the adaptation of the name.The practice itself is believed to be started millions of years ago

  Millions of years ago??🤪 I guess they don't know their own theology. They also added this reason for the edit:

  Added content that is true and should be known

  One part of the article says:

  Jehovah's Witnesses are best known for their door-to-door preaching, distributing literature such as ''The Watchtower'' and ''Awake!"

  Then somebody changed "distributing" to "placing" and added this at the end:

  that helps to better people’s lives and teaches the right way a Christian should worship Jehovah God

  Another user simply deleted the following sentence just because they didn't like it, and probably thought it was apostate lies:

  The policies for Jehovah's Witnesses' handling cases of child sexual abuse have been the subject of various formal inquiries.

  LOL. Yep.

  Did you know that World War 2 was started by Satan himself, personally, for the sole reason of attempting of exterminate all JWs?

  Oh, how about this one? JWs were having so much success in the 1950s, starting Bible studies with housewives who would then convince their husbands to join them, that Satan prompted economic downturns such that "houswives" had to go out and get jobs. Thus, no one was at home when JWs called there, and so they were not able to start so many Bible studies.

  Oh there's a million stories like these.

  Then there is this one I recently heard from a brother doing an on stage part. After teaching that we need to simplify our lifes, reduce the amount of hours we do at work or look a getting a part time job, we find that some brothers are getting into financial difficultly, this is to be expected in satan's wicked system of things. Let's blame satan for the negative outcome that could happen, if following this advice from WT fails. BTW it is satan's wicked system of things that provides the only financial help to these brothers that find themselves in financial strife.

  At least they are getting to read the facts on Wiki. A seed or two of doubt may be planted, even if in " Stony Ground".

  Exactly Phizzy. Often the most ardent defenders are those with the biggest doubts. I know, I was that way at first.

  I stopped trusting in Wikipedia after I found out the main editor for all Jehovah's Witness topic (there is a hierarchy of editors that can step in and edit or lock content) is actually a Jehovah's Witness.

  A long time ago I got into an "edit war" regarding what was in the "Shepherd" book (the secret elder book) such as the two-witness rule. The editor stepped in and said this content wasn't readily available through official JW publications and thus should not be accepted, after pointing out it was publicly available and putting in references to both the book and media references. he/she commented "that is apostate literature" and closed the topic.
