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.

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

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

Actually, Islam is the fastest growing religion in the world. I have no problem with JW, just as long as they stay the hell off my porch!

The WBTS is not a religion. It is a printing company used by Jehovah's Witnesses.
But your point is good in that there are people who want the true faith.

That's not true, there are other religions growing. LDS is another religion that is growing.
