Everything I read on this website and elsewhere indicates that the Witness are extremely united in doctrine and practices worldwide. When I'm reading comments here, I have no idea whether the person is posting from the US or some other part of the world (unless they say so). Everyone's experience seems to be the same wherever they live. Has anyone who's traveled to different parts of the world seen any differences? Even subtle ones?

I know, but I'm just wondering if anyone knows of any local customs or practices are picked up anywhere in the world. Like, maybe, the African countryside or somewhere.

Yes;
The cult teachings are quite prevalent and enforced in all countries that I've seen.

No, I'm mean differences from one part of the world to another.

Not really, Paul.
They read from the same cult literature, the same books, and there is no room for interpretation. They are a wonderfully unified in teaching cult, because even in third worlds, they are not allowed to question the teachings.
Just like the moonies.

Yes, in some African countries the Sisters can go out in service bare breasted but not in the USA!

I love how the witnesses teach... if you're a new convert, and question anything, you can either:
A) Accept it using god's holy spirit, or
B) Your heart wasn't willing to accept the truth, or
C) Jehovah's spirit was not on you, therefore your heart condition wasn't right.
Not a cult? YEAH, RIGHT!
