bumping this, given recent threads on effectiveness of jw dot org
as of today they still have 0 tracking code on their website, meaning if they are analysing traffic they are using offline tools.
mormon.org now has 13 trackers, scientology.org is down to 4 trackers, churchofgod.org has 2 trackers and adventist.org has 5 trackers

GB member visits Bolton--UK
by bigmac inive pasted the following from a uk xjw facebook page.:.
i found out last night that thursday,just gone, a member of the gb came to rosehill congregation in bolton to tell them the gb will now be more active and a more prominent part of their lives, this is to build trust and make it so when they revel new direction in the future, people don't push against them and they follow them.
it's a long shot shot but what are the chances he will be at any other meeting in this district this sunday and how can i find out?.

Freaking out a Jehovah's Witness
by jgnat inas you know, my husband has physically left the witnesses.
he nevertheless clings to many of the beliefs like a protective cloak, and every once in a while i trigger a dissonant episode where my reality clashes with his.
recently he listened in on my work research, a video of a futurist describing the a potential "disruptive change" event in the next fifteen years, as our culture shifts to autonomic (driverless) vehicles.
