Blondie, nice job once again... One can only stare in amazement at the calcified mind-set of the JW writer responsible for this piece when he attempts to contrast Christendom's purported dependence on ``biological" and ``transfer" factors for their growth, with the alleged dynamism of JWs. He must have had access to the statistics on Pentecostal, Evangelicals, etc. that you cite, as well as the meager (plus 2.2 percent worldwide for the year) results of JW activity reported jsut a couple pages later in the same issue.
Put that paltry 2.2% against the figure for the overall growth in world population (something around 2%) and what is there to boast about?
