  However, not everyone feels the way you do. In fact, those who truly make the Bible their guide are
  a minority-only about 0.1 percent of the earth's population.

  Isn't this a declaration of the "failure" of their declaring the good news bullshyte? So then they are saying that with all their efforts 99.9 % of earth's population do not feel the way they do, and I paste that below

  You have this publication in hand because you
  appreciate God's Word. You view the Bible "just as
  it truthfully is, as the word of God." (1 Thess. 2:13)
  By reading the Bible daily, you demonstrate your belief
  that "all Scripture is inspired of God and beneficial
  for teaching, for reproving, for setting things
  straight, for disciplining in righteousness." (2 Tim. 3:
  16) And by applying what you learn, you give evidence
  of whole-souled love for our Creator and his
  Word.-1 John 5:3.

  Do they really want to declare in print what a dismal failure their efforts are?

  No, they just want to trap their followers into thinking that they alone have "the truth" while everyone else muddles around in darkness.

  Nobody else in the world gets Examining the Scriptures, they can write it like a kool aid WT and nobody bats an eye.

  I guess that is the reality. Just wish it could be shown more widely somehow just how pathetic their efforts are. So much for the whole earth being covered so that the big A can commence.

  Yep. That recent "Camping is dead" thread made me think of how effective he was in getting his message out with a few hundred thousand bucks, while JWs trudge door to door knocking on empty houses. In reality, the GB doesn't really want their crackpot theology out there where it can really be scrutinized.

  And check this out, this comes right after the .1% comment: "Some even feel that having knowledge of the Bible would cause a person to reject God. “I gave a Bible to my daughter,” said the president of American Atheists. “That’s how you make atheists.”"-2012 Examining

  This sounds like something I would write in the forward of the Examining book! Who's side is the writing dept on anyway?

  The Quiet One

  Matthew 7:14 World English Bible " How narrow is the gate, and restricted is the way that leads to life! Few are those who find it. "

  Are you saying that they are doing just fine then The Quiet One??? This looks more like a large victory for Satan. Jehovah/god 0.1%. Satan 99.9%. that is one awful narrow gate!!

  The Church of" Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints"( Mormons ) have more members world wide than Jehovah`s Witnesses ? Dont they.

  They dont have the same publishing and distribution army JW`s have ( Every member going house to house )

  Also the" Seventh Day Adventists"have about the same if not more members than JW`s again without their publishing and distribution army in tow.

  Neither of these two groups do door to door ministry as much as the witnesses yet they have similar if not more members.

  Remember also each of them sprung up in the same century.

  It doesn`t seem to me like their is any God" especially blessing" the efforts of Jehovah`s Witnesses
