Do you ever find yourself starting to hum a JW tune subconsciously? Several times while driving alone I started singing one of them, and then I get to an offensive lyric which jolts me 'awake', and I say something to myself like 'no!' or 'shutup!'. If anybody heard they'd think I was a few bricks shy of a load 😆

Jehovah's Witnesses Came to My Neighborhood
by Juan Viejo2 infor nearly two years i have not seen any jehovah's witnesses going door to door in my neighborhood.
that was not the case when my wife and i first moved here (north central oregon).
in fact, our neighborhood was visited at least once every 4 to 5 months - even in the coldest winter months.

Yeah, they still call it "pioneering", but instead of 70-120 hours, now it's 30-70.
And yes, all sorts of fudging takes place. One RP in my Hall counts time going grocery shopping with older JWs under the heading of helping them. And then there's the classic phone call method, where you call a return visit early in the morning when of course they won't answer, then count your time driving and through the service meeting. Then on breaks and lunch, pass out a tract and keep the time going.
Bottom line: The almost 2 billion hours a year counted in 'service' is a joke, and it's no wonder that the JW's growth rate is just about the average of the general population, i.e. most getting baptized are kids who were raised as JWs, like most other religions.

JW defense fail
by neat blue dog init's a little long, but if you have a chance, read this court transcript of a sleazy jw lawyer's interaction with a judge and others.
in the course of defending wt, he uses theocratic warfare non-stop, but the court sees right through him and it's both pathetic and infuriating:.

But where did I find this transcript? An "apostate" website. Because of information control, no good JW will see things unless they're on mainstream news.

Do these settlement amounts ever "leak" out?
What I would love is a law that requires non-profits to announce at all public meetings the amounts of any court judgments and also out of court settlements.

Echo what Diogenesister said:
Definitely read up on JWfacts.com
This will arm you with facts that can prevent you being suckered back in or even being on the fence. There are many valuable topics on the site, but I recommend focusing on JW's core teachings, the ones that make them unique. If these are beyond all doubt false, then they have nothing to stand on.

What’s The Worst Thing You Have Heard About A JW?
by minimus inthere was a guy that became an elder and he was a father of 8 children including 4 or 5 girls.
he was a little bit on the self righteous side and would counsel people a lot, especially families about how they could be better witnesses.
one day his wife dropped a bombshell!!!

We live and work by a strict moral code based on the word of God and the Bible which shares many common principles with the Jehovah’s Witness faith although we have no affiliation with any religious domination.
Hard to tell if this is typical JW doubletalk, considering they go on to say:
Our funerals only now take place at a Kingdom Hall because we are a specialist provider existing to serve Jehovah’s Witnesses. We don’t have to try and adapt to accommodate your needs because we understand and are like minded.

Highlights from Book Studies: Other Sheep & Disfellowshipping
by neat blue dog ina couple of highlights from recent "congregation bible studies" (book studies):.
in one chapter of the jesus book, they spin the part that disproves the "earthly hope" into saying the exact opposite of what is obvious:.
“most truly i say to you, i am the door for the sheep.

Back when I first started questioning the WTS, I decided to read the New Testament (using the NWT) straight through, without the use of any WT publication. That was the point I decided they were completely wrong.
Yes, me too! That was THE turning point.
