    JWs like other religious movements thrive on feelings of national insecurity and the myth of being surrounded by a dangerous world --- "critical times, aren't they?" The growth of JWs in the States may be a consequence of 8 years George W. Bush with his insistence on defence policy etc. As I tried to show in a previous thread JWs have a poor growth potential in Europe where these feelings are less prevalent (except for the increasing immigrant areas) --- Critical times, you're kidding, right?

    Are things about to change with Hillary or Barack? JWs may have won the early primaries but the final nomination? --- I don't think so.

    Maybe they calculate their growth by the number of new people that go to the memorial every year.

    As usual - statistics lie, and people who put them together are often complete morons.

    They're using percentage increase/decrease to determine who is the fastest growing religion. Now imagine I started my own religion 2 years ago. I was on my own. I then converted 2 people last year. I'm now up to 3. I have a 200% increase last year! That's 100 times the growth of the witnesses!

    As you can see - this is complete nonsense.

    Now look at the Catholic numbers. 67.5 million with 0.87% increase. That an increase of 587,000+. The witnesses were no were close to this number! The catholic church is growing much faster than the witnesses.

    Come on people - learn some math.

    I thought the Pentecostals were growing much faster. Maybe they don't count as a 'Church Body'
