War is a Racket, by Smedley D Butler, 1935
by dropoffyourkeylee ini have just become aware of a book, published in the us in 1935, called 'war is a racket', by smedley d butler, a former marine major general who was very critical of the us involvement in ww1.
since it was apparently a popular book at the time, and butler was a prominent figure, i am wondering if rutherford's adoption of the slogan 'religion is a snare and a racket' may have been borrowed from butler.. if so, it wouldn't be the first time rutherford drew upon familiar terms of the 20's and 30's to create slogans or wt articles..

Population growth and demographics
by dropoffyourkeylee insome recent news articles stated that japan's low birth rates are related to their population decline, and gave a link to the following article which i find interesting.. https://www.thoughtco.com/age-sex-pyramids-and-population-pyramids-1435272.
the age-sex pyramid graph is enlightening.
it makes me wonder what the age-sex pyramid for jws looks like and how it compares to the population as a whole.
