>Many sincere persons are leaving Christendom’s organized religions. For example, a formerly dyed-in-the-wool Catholic, living in the French Alps, spontaneously wrote the following to the French branch office of Jehovah’s Witnesses: “In line with the 1,000-year-old tradition of the Catholic Church, I was baptized from birth into the Catholic faith. I was an active Catholic for some 50 years. Around 1980, I became convinced that the Catholic Church was wrong. I became demoralized and deeply shocked. I had many arguments with priests who were not respecting their vows. For several years I had heard about Jehovah’s Witnesses, mostly unfavorably. After a long period of reflection, I opened my door to them. They helped me to see that the Bible contains the answers to our questions. I also realized that after 50 years of active service within the Catholic Church, I knew nothing about the Bible, even though I possessed one. It was the Witnesses who helped me ‘discover’ the Bible.”
(from 12/22/87 Awake! magazine)
Are you aware that once a person is baptizd into the Catholic church, that it Will Not remove their name, even when Formally requested by the person to do so?
How accurate do you think their records can be, given that they Refuse to admit they are losing their flock?
Compare that scenario with the fact that the only ones counted by JWs are those who are actually practicing spreading the Bible's teachings, even if others Have been baptized. If Not actively teaching the Bible, they Aren't counted ...

Christianity is the fastest growing over the last 500 years. This is mostly due to The America's and Northern China being Christian. The Muslim religion is shrinking, mostly due to India becoming more Hindu and less Muslin.
