I think it's an ok site (although I should have a better look at it)... you have to have a "testimonial site" down under, just to make sure to not give the impression it's just American people who feel this way about JW's! ;)
So we have some great sites on the Internet from different countries!
Australia - JW Files
England -- Jehovah's Witness Discussion
Canada - Quotes
America -- Commentary Press, Freeminds
I am sure there are other great sites out there!

Very few know even the basic doctrines of the Witnesses
by joelbear inafter 131 years of preaching around the world.
its a losing battle.
there are fewer people today in the us that know witness doctrine or what witnesses would call "the good news of the kingdom".

@garybuss, This Rutherford who thought of this idea of preaching with megaphones from cars, didn't even preach himself! The guy should have went in the army -- no get involved with a Christian sect!

@DannyHaszard, Coming out of the horses' mouth (from that newspaper article) I guess it is true then. :( :| :S But they knock on so many doors, they're in the media at times (although negative -- you would have thought it would "spark some interest" in what their teachings are), they give out so much literature... You'd think that people would "look into them" as a religion. Even if they just find out about JW doctrine on the Internet. It says at the back of the magazine of the Watchtower the Internet address of JW's -- www.watchtower.org.

I swear it's almost it seems some of you people are kidding! Are you sure you people are not pulling my leg? I didn't use to live in Sydney, and I've seen the JW's quite a few times knocking on people's doors... they must have knocked on my door, other wise I wouldn't be so resentful-sounding on this board! Maybe because most of you people live in USA! That's a huge country geographically and population speaking speaking! Most people in Australia live in South-east Australia! There's only 20 million of us down here... I think there's like 30 million in Canada. I'll try and believe you people.... I don't think you would have any need to lie... I'll keep the "doubts part" in my mind still just to be on the safe side... I think the JW's need to upgrade their marketing techniques and consider things like the 5 p's. People Place Product Price Promotion ...Hmmm maybe it's April Fools? Oh no, it's 15 October. Right. Ok. Hmmm...

I wish I could be an elder for a couple of months and be really hopeless at it -- like an anti-hero sort of thing.
Field Service pre-meeting: "oh sorry I am late for the service meeting," I was having a good old drink with one me mates." LOL "Now, don't worry, I only had one scooner." Didn't the good Lord say "a little wine is ok?" And then say "Nah, I was feeling a bit crook, and I had a cold, but now I am coming around fine. Must be the weather, aye?"
While at the platform: "Oh excused me, I just dropped me pen."
"Who's that sheila over there! Never seen here before! Oh yes I have! Hello sister A."
While at field service "Ah, we'll just cut the door-to-door today. Just take it easy you guys. See you later. You can go on if you like, I want to play golf now."
While at the book study "Nah, we'll do this paragraph next week, she'll be right!"

tall penguin One of my favourite elders is a humble man. What I term a "heart person." He's an elder for the right reasons and he suffers because of it. He's about 62 now and he told me not too long ago that when he stepped down from being the congregation secretary and bookstudy overseer because of health problems (heart problems--no coincidence there!) another elder (he didn't name names) told him, "Well, you've served your purpose." My elder friend was so discouraged by this. There were tears in his eyes as he told me.
This elder also stood up for me on many occasions. One time he corrected a DO who took a pot shot at me because I wasn't pioneering. Not all elders are narcissistic megalomaniacs. Some are actually "shepherds."
tpinquirer -- OH COME ON THAT'S TERRIBLE! DO ELDERS HAVE A USEDBY DATE NOW, DO THEY?!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 'Oh throw him over board he's useless! He's served his purpose!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!' I AM SO SORRY TO HEAR THAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I bet the man who "stepped down" "balled his eyes out."
