The only way I can see on their website (watchtower) to get information is by giving them your street address and such. I don't want to get all kinds of publications, so I'm not willing to do that. There's one particular publication that I'm looking for I read a few years back, I'd like another copy of it. Anyone know where to get information like that? I'm in Orange County, California by the way.

It's called: "What Does the Bible Really Teach?"

Yeah man door knocking does freak me out. Unfortuneatly I DO know how to use google, and saw that already. That's not the whole thing, it's like an inch thick.

Jehovah's Witness congregations tend to list their phone numbers under "Jehovah's Witnesses - [town]". A website might be useful, such as:
http://maps.yahoo.com
Jehovah's Witnesses understand the Scriptures to teach that God's Kingdom will soon replace all earthly governments.
(Daniel 2:44) God of heaven will set up a kingdom... It will crush and put an end to all these kingdoms, and it itself will stand to times indefinite
That Kingdom will rule over the vast majority of mankind, most of whom will have been raised from the dead after Armageddon.
(John 11:23,24) Jesus said to her: “Your brother will rise.” Martha said to him: “I know he will rise in the resurrection on the last day.”
(Acts 24:15) There is going to be a resurrection of both the righteous and the unrighteous.
Until that resurrection, there is no suffering in "hell", or the grave. Sometime after the resurrection, death and "hell" will themselves be destroyed.
(Ecclesiastes 9:5) For the living are conscious that they will die; but as for the dead, they are conscious of nothing at all
(Ecclesiastes 9:10) there is no work nor devising nor knowledge nor wisdom in Sheol ["hell"]
(Revelation 20:14) And death and Hades ["hell"] were hurled into the lake of fire
While a limitted number of humans will be resurrected to heaven to share in ruling over mankind, the vast majority (literally more than 99.9%) of Jehovah's Witnesses expect an EARTHLY hope, the same hope given to Adam and Eve.
(Genesis 1:28) God blessed them and God said to them: “Be fruitful and become many and fill THE EARTH and subdue it [caps added]
(Genesis 2:17) You must not eat from it, for in the day you eat from it you will positively die [so never eating from that tree means never dying]
Interestingly, the Scriptures are full of references to this earthly hope.
(Psalms 37:11) 'the meek will possess the earth'
(Proverbs 2:21) 'upright will reside in the earth'
(Isaiah 45:18) 'God formed the earth to be inhabited'
(Matthew 5:5) 'the mild will inherit the earth'
(Revelation 21:3) The tent of God is with mankind

In general you can find Jehovah's Witnesses' Kingdom Hall and number in your local telephone book - often under "Churches."
If you would like to receive the particular publication: "What Does the Bible ***Really*** Teach?" you can ask when their meetings are and visit the Kingdom Hall to pick one up. There is no obligation. However, if you would like to learn more about the Bible, Jehovah's Witnesses offer free home Bible studies at a time convenient for you. Their meetings are free - no collections are ever taken. The world-wide work of Jehovah's Witnesses is supported by voluntary donations.
