Jehovah's witnesses?

Question

Has anybody noticed that the Watchtower bible and Tract Society (Jehovah's Witnesses) is the only Religion in the world that has isn't in decline but is actually growing? I mean they have more than 100,000 kingdom halls (churches). Thats more than all the Walmarts, Targets and McDonald's in the world. AND they make more than 2,000 new ones every year. Not only that but they are the only ones fulfilling the prophecies of the great crowd spoke of in the bible. And the only ones to fulfill the scripture in Matthew 24: 14.

Imperial is wrong about his comment. Their growth is biggest in first world countries

I want to apologize for this question. I was in accurate and arrogant to say that Jehovahs witnesses are the only religion experiencing growth. I humbly apologize i was out of line

Answer 1

They must be doing something right, ...worth investigating.

Answer 2

The truth and hope of the future of mankind where the earth will be a paradise without false religion and wicked people.
It is a big draw on people who have this hope on the basis of Christ's sacrifice.
They are growing in both rich and poor nations. The true peaceable people who are JW and who are away from the political and military machinery of the nations that many religious leaders are part of. This shows JW as having the same attitude as Jesus in that they are no part of the spirit of this wicked world which Satan is ruler. (2 Cor 4:4)

Fullfilling the prophecy in Matthew 24:14  
"And this good news of the kingdom will be preached in all the inhabited earth for a witness to all the nations; and then the end will come."

Answer 3

The Christian Congregation of Jehovah's Witnesses is a religion, while the various entities named "Watchtower Society" are mere legal corporations used by Jehovah's Witnesses.

As of July 2007, there are 100,000 congregations of Jehovah's Witnesses, but it is quite common for two or more congregations to share a single Kingdom Hall (church building). Thus, there are likely far fewer than 100,000 Kingdom Halls.

Jehovah's Witnesses certainly do NOT claim to be the only religion which is experiencing growth, but they do believe that they are uniquely working to fulfill Matthew 24:14 and other bible prophecies regarding true Christians during "the Lord's day" (that is, "the conclusion of the system of things").

(Matthew 24:3) The disciples approached him privately, saying: “Tell us, When will these things be, and what will be the sign of your presence and of the conclusion of the system of things?

(1 Corinthians 1:7-8) You are eagerly waiting for the revelation of our Lord Jesus Christ. He will also make you firm to the end, that you may be open to no accusation in the day of our Lord Jesus Christ.

(Revelation 1:10) By inspiration I came to be in the Lord’s day

Answer 4

Clearly you've never heard of Islam.

Or the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints.

Both those religions far outstrip JWs in growth. I would give you references to check out but your mind is so obviously made up I'd be wasting my time. You'd never double-check.

The JW "Yearbook" shows barely 2% world-wide growth (from the latest available figures) with many 1st world countries showing a decline or only standing still. This despite billions of hours door-knocking and 'witnessing'. If only you WERE fulfilling Mat 24:14 we could rejoice with you. But the good news of the kingdom is about Christ's triumph at Calvary and what HE did back then. God may do this, that, or the other in the future, but that is not the gospel! If you start preaching Christ crucified and resurrected, and that only faith in Christ saves anyone, you could boast about yourselves. Of course, humility would demand you also acknowledge billions of others who are NOT JWs have been proclaiming that good news for centuries before JWs were ever formed, and right now. But, somehow, I think you now have fingers in your ears and are shouting "Rhubarb! Rhubarb! Rhubarb!"

Answer 5

JW's believe anything that the WT tells them..Why don't you find out for certain if this is true..From my research, I find that more and more of the JW's that have been in the "truth" are leaving...There has been a decline over the years...


You recruit on the basis of fear..Fear of Armagedon..fear of destruction..Promises that if you are a JW's you will live forever in Paradise on Earth..

Your scripture that has been quoted so much over the years..Matthew 24:14..is not being fulfilled by JW's...You people are so mislead..You think that you are the only ones preaching about God? How hidden are you from reality? ..

You should focus on the scriptures about " wolves in sheeps clothing, seeking to devour you.."..You, JW's claim to be all the sheep ones..also, what about the scripture that states , their will be ones that are twisting the scriptures to their own interpretations...to their speedy destruction..

God would not have let the bible go for 1000's of years the way is was translated before the NWT came about in the 60's..Are you that gulible? Think for yourselves..Your salvation is at stake here..

Do you honestly think that any Christians before JW's religion came about..believed the same as your religion does?

Answer 6

Where did you get THAT information? What about the other religions that are also growing? I read an article a couple of days ago about how the Pentecostals are growing rapidly in Africa. Also, that Mormons and Seventh Day Adventists, AND Jehovah's Witnesses are increasing in third world countries. If you think it's ONLY JW's, you probably got that information from the JW propaganda machine.

Answer 7

It's a publishing company, that pays for no labor, and it's CEO and president,etc... are laughing all the way to the bank.

What about Matthew 24: 26-27? You know the one that says Christ's return is NOT invisible? Yeah that one.

OH and the Targets and Walmarts? They probably have less because they actually PAY their employees.

The WBTS is not a religion, it is a publishing company.

** In fact, several JWs are regularly on here pointing that out, and saying that the WBTS has NOTHING to do with them as JWs.**

Answer 8

Satan is good isn't he......Remember quantity does not equal quality!
Jw's have the largest Exodus of all the religions also...the average longevity of a JW is 5 years....Soon there will be more exjyws than there will be jw's...won't that be fun.....

I think a split in the organization is coming...what will you do then...O ..Arrogant one?

Answer 9

Yeah, but do you have someone handing out stickers at the door? Walmart does.

Answer 10

They may supersede Wal-mart franchise too.

Answer 11

jehovah's witnesses teaches false doctrines and employs brainwashing to convert potential members. i debated a witness once just for the fun of it and i proved the guy to be ignorant of the basics of argumentation. in short, he had no idea of what he's talking about.
