Considering the truth about the truth, how the heck did they manage to spread around the world and at least have a witness in most of the countries/lands???
I hope my question makes sense.

Using very effective control tactics such as "love bombing" and ensuring that they had exposed new recruits to counter arguments before they heard them (making it seem like they must be right). They also ensured a high degree of hours/committment so that recruits are less likely to back out.

It is well known fact that the psychology of fear spreads quickly ( imminent Armageddon ) and gets people attention and motivates people to take action.
The WTS. exploited bible scripture as well as the people that listened to them to buy and sell their literature .
All under the label of god's will and purpose of course.
Stir in a bit of manipulation, exploitation and a bit of corruption and you have the WTS. religious publishing company.

People want to believe because death is is too hard to accept. If "God is Love" then he has left the building.
