Jehovah's Witnesses saw their membership grow further in 2001, according to their annual report published in the January 1, 2002, issue of The Watchtower. More than 15 million attended the 2001 annual commemoration of the death of Christ, the religion's most sacred observance. An average of over 5,000 persons a week were baptized as new members of the faith.
