I regret being raised in this cult. The only good things I learned there would have been taught to me anyway, minus all of the negative.
About the only thing positive from my JW experience is that I have a good nose to sniff out schemes, and that I can never be brainwashed again.

As Much as I hate to say this,I am glad for have being a J Dub
by SuperApostateGirl ini know this sounds crazy however being raised a jehovah's witness gave me the tools of respect for my fellow man.
also my parents had a huge role as well,of course.. i just find today there are soo many twisted people who are amused by the sickest of circumstances and pride themselves on belittling people.i mean i am the first to say.
i love funny sarcasm and making fun of the jehovah's witness religion because i believe in my heart its a crazy cult and way out in left field.

by FlyingHighNow inisn't the whole crux of the wtbts organization and its purpose a competition to see who is willing to suffer the most?
here's a conglomeration of experiences i have read about in the mags or heard of at conventions: .
sister masochistic: she has lived in an iron lung since childhood, a victim of polio.

LOL FHN, that was one hilarious post, especially since it isn't really true. I remember those stories all too well.
Chickpea, never mind her making it to the meeting in a blizzard, what was she thinking, taking a ride from a worldy man? Perhaps she had the good taste to ride in the backseat, She wouldn't want to give the wrong impression--you know, not being chaperoned and all----LOL -

i can remember a time when you couldn't make it from the convention doors to your car without being approached by at least one glassy-eyed apostate holding a sign or thrusting a homemade tract under your nose.
ahhhh, those were the days...

I am on topic, I was explaining how to make picketing more effective.
As to the original question, picketers are still out there, just not as plentiful since the 1975 mess.
I picketed in 2004 and 2005 -

Picketing may or may not be effective. If you can get media coverage, even better.

Either way it was the result of pro-active people.
