People who will never hear the WT message
by jgnat inyou are all familiar with the heartwarming images of people from all lands joining in a "great crowd" marching in to the promised land.
it occurred to me with more than nine countries and 1.6 billion people who are not recorded in the yearbook, that a great number of ethnic groups will not be represented.

HEAR YE! HEAR YE! ADVENTISTS' GROWTH RATE IN BRAZIL OUTSTRIPS JWS'
by steve2 injoker10 started a thread some days ago - putatively just to "inform" us - about the growth of self-identifying jehovahs witnesses in brazil across two census periods, the year 2000 to the year 2010. this led to some enlivened discussion about growth rates, including in particular how this compared with other similar 'vintage' 'christianized' religions such as the mormons (latter-day saints of the church of jesus christ) and seventh-day adventists (sdas).
joker10 readily obliged by posting within the same day the relevant growth rates for the latter-day saints in brazil over the same census periods.
the jw growth rate easily outstripped those for the latter-day saints.
