I have a little sign that a co-worker made for me, which has the words "No Jehovahs' Witnesses" on it, and a circle with a red line through the word "AWAKE", which is the name of one of their publications. I used to live near one of their centers, and they rang my bell a lot. I keep meaning to scan it, and post it here, but haven't gotten to that yet.

They have a HUGE Kingdom Hall in downtown Brooklyn, possibly their world headquarters, which is visible from many vantage points, and I read that they locked the doors on 9/11/01, as people were coming across the bridge from Manhattan, and refused to help, give out water, etc. This was NOT in the spirit of most of NYC on that day.

My mother, back in the early 1960's, was making something in the kitchen, and was using a large knife. The doorbell rang, and she just opened it, still holding the knife. When they (Witnesses) saw this, they ran away! :dance:
