At Revelation 1:5 Jesus is called "the Faithful Witness" because he bore witness or testimony about his God, Jehovah. The name "Jehovah's Witnesses" is not a title, but a description. Therefore, to be one of Jehovah's Witnesses, one must "witness" or bear testimony about the Almighty, True God, Jehovah.
Additional Answer:The answer depends on what the questioner understands the word proselytise to mean. The dictionary defines it thusly: "pros·e·lyt·ize /ˈprɒsəlɪˌtaɪz/ [pros-uh-li-tahyz] - verb - to convert or attempt to convert; to recruit."
Each one of Jehovah's dedicated and baptized Witnesses, as active Christians and footstep followers of their leader and King, Jesus Christ, strive to obey the command he gave to ALL Christians at Matthew 28:19,20, to make disciples by preaching the good news about God's coming Kingdom. Our commission, however, is NOT to convert or recruit, but to share this good news with all of our neighbors worldwide. What THEY eventually DO with this knowledge is totally up to them, not to any one of Jehovah's Witnesses.
So, no, we do NOT proselytise in the strict sense of the word, but yes, we MUST endeavor to share this life-giving knowledge and, if possible, make disciples with our zealous preaching and teaching activities.
