I have to admit that I live in a regular neighborhood in a regular town, and haven't seen JW's in the 4 years I have lived here.
I had to laugh at this! I remember that while I was in they started coming up with new stratagies to find people at home. Go in the early morning, go in the evening, etc etc... most people came up with excuses galore to avoid those types of service, I never wanted to actually talk to anyone I PRAYED for Not at Homes!...
"This organization has no infrastructure!". They have no hospitals, no college, no formal charities to speak of, no school of theology, no day care, no weekend basketball,
Metatron is right this is why the Catholic's have survived and the JW's won't. Catholics went into goverment ASAP they became major employers and established a huge power base that has lasted for almost 2000 years! Its a lot harder to leave a religion that will not just shun you but you won't be able to go to the hospital or work or vote or live in peace (not to mention that could kill you as a heretic!) Jw's havent' established that kind of base so when things get hard they will fade away or break into a bajillion pieces!
