... in web traffic at least
Our current ranking: 26,434
Their ranking: 26,911
What's interesting is that if you view the figures for both, the WTS site gets a lot of visits from people (big name) who then view very few pages. We don't reach quite as many people but the ones who do visit read a lot more.
(enter www.watchtower.org in the box to get a graph comparing the two, view 3m large size to see clearly)
BTW: I've added the little traffic graph to the statictics page:
Well, Simon what do you think this means?

It means the web is a real danger to them.
This is just one website out of many that tell the truth about the WTS. Combining all the rankings frmo them means we 'little guys' have a louder voice than the big, multi-billion dollar publishing corporation with their army of volunteers stuffing crumpled WatchTower and Awake's in letter-boxes !
As the web spreads to other countries, these too will fall.
It also probably means that more and more people are ignoring their instruction to stay off the web and have decided to find things out for themselves.
It means the web is a real danger to them.
Simon,
I think you are right. It is because of the web that I learned the truth about JWs. We were always told not to read apostate literature. Well, no one ever gave me any! But as soon as I got on the internet and put Jehovah's Witnesses in the search, I came up with a search page list with the official WT site and some "apostate" sites. I couldn't resist. I had been inactive for many years with doubts anyway. Well, I read some about Ray Franz and other unhappy older ones. This was in 1999. I kind of left the sites mostly alone until 2001. That is when my friend encouraged me to look at the sites again with an even more open mind. I ended up exchanging e-mail with a former elder/bethelite who was in big doubt. Then I read Crisis Of Conscience. I was convinced. I came across your site here and there as well.
You know, this is an exciting prospect. I am actually sitting here feeling some hope. You and others have done a good thing for thousands and let's hope millions someday.

LOL @ Sirona CONGRATULATIONS, SIMON. YOU?RE A SERIOUS WATCHTOWER PUBLIC ENEMY!! Ian
Simon ..you should write the society and get them to put these stats in the yearbook.
Randy Watters predicted a few years ago the Web would be either the WTBTS downfall or force change - -this is another step forward in that direction
