    I don't think JWs themselves have actually claimed to be the fastest growing religion in a long time - since the 1950s or so.

    Have they?

    Religious leaders play the propaganda game to draw attention to their select religions, the WTS/JWS is very much into that.

    They'll say we are the only chosen organization selected by god and give a big line of lies and corruption devised to lure people toward them

    they'll also say just about anything to shine an evil light on anything other than themselves.

    They used to say that Slim when it was perhaps true back in the 50's and 60's

    I don't really know Slim, all I know is

    they do claim they have the backin' of the holy spirit

    that claim alone should put them in the runnin' wit the others that claim

    the same thing when they see a growth spurt

    Then again, lookin' at the baptism reports

    it would do the WTS good not to make that claim

    .

    I think Mormons are far and away the most wealthy in the organization to membership ratio.

    Lies, corruption, power and money isn't that what religion is all about anyways ?

    Catholic (US) Diocese, income for 2011 129,978,314 - just under $2 a head.

    oops, I am going to change my strategy. The LDS does not report its income in the US (because it doesn't have to). I'll compare Canada instead.

    LDS Canada, 2011, 182,415 members. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Church_of_Jesus_Christ_of_Latter-day_Saints_in_Canada

    Awww, heck. Every ward and branch of the LDS reports separately. 498 matches!

    You are probably correct, Fink. But there are about a billion Catlicks and only 6 million Morminks - ?

    I suppose when you throw in assets, property, etc. the Cats are probably the richest.
