Well, I AM a Witness, and I AM quite witty, but no, I wouldn't join a club like that. But as a BTW to most of your answerers... we are not a cult, we ARE Christians, we DO believe in Jesus, we DON'T get points to get into heaven by going door to door, and we don't have warped kids because they don't celebrate pagan, materialistic holidays! We're pretty neat folks if you get to know us!

Last year 2005, we "brainwashed" as you like to say, 247,631, that became Jehovah's Witnesses and everyone of these had to change their minds pertaining to the false teachings that they had been taught, these were people that used their own Bible, King James, etc., 28,384 were from the United States.
During the service year, 2,340 Kingdom Halls were completed around the world. This represents an average of 195 halls per month, or just over 6 per day! Since November 1999 when the construction program in lands with limited resources began, 7,730 Kingdom Halls have been built. In many areas, once a hall is finished, meeting attendance soars and halls are soon filled to capacity.

Someone with more respect for the Almighty than you.
(2 Timothy 4:3-5) For there will be a period of time when they will not put up with the healthful teaching, but, in accord with their own desires, they will accumulate teachers for themselves to have their ears tickled; and they will turn their ears away from the truth, whereas they will be turned aside to false stories. You, though, keep your senses in all things, suffer evil, do the work of an evangelizer, fully accomplish your ministry.
(2 Corinthians 4:4-5) the god of this system of things has blinded the minds of the unbelievers, that the illumination of the glorious good news about the Christ, who is the image of God, might not shine through. For we are preaching, not ourselves, but Christ Jesus as Lord
