  On my Roku box, I went to the most popular channels and there sits JW.ORG. It has a rating of 5 stars with over 43,000 reviews! More than the NBC News channel, and more than the History channel. Something is wrong with this picture. And when you go to the Religion category of channels, it is #1!

  Even the Mormon channel only has about 7,000 ratings with 4 1/2 stars. I swear, they could put up any kind of drivel and if it is comes from almighty GB, the braindead will upvote it five stars ... no questions asked.

  I was pretty shocked to see this on my Roku as well.

  On the other hand, if any "worldlies" end up watching that drivel (think bread example, stupid JW song where they fall in love over a trash bag) they will run and hide from the cultists, and that's a good thing!

  Maybe people are into that type of humour ?

  Or when you have 8 million faithful Kool-Aid drinking followers you will get a lot of people willing and ready to obey and view your TV channel. I am sure that if Kim-un-Jerk of North Korea had to have a TV channel ALL Koreans would faithfully view it and it would garner high ratings levels too.

  Don't let stats deceive you into anything.

  Porn Channels would probably show a high stat too !

  I'm sure on one of the up coming broadcasts they will brag about this very point

  As far as I'm concerned, the current transition to a mostly-internet-exclusive "e-religion" can't finish soon enough.

  That's only ½% of their membership's response!! Pretty poor actually!!

  We don't have Roku in New Zealand - but if jw.org "recommends" Roku as its preferred site broadcaster/platform for jw.org in the States and jws accordingly suscribe en masse to it, the numbers would be stacked in favor of jw.org coming out as one of the most popular channels on Roku, wouldn't it?

  By contrast, perhaps the Mormon channel doesn't promote or recommend one site broadcaster/platform over others so the numbers suscribing through Roku are fewer compared with the jws.
