The world wide service report for last year showed a pitifull increase of only 1.6%. That is about the same for normal population increase so there was no real net growth. Now with the door to heaven wide open just think of all the kooks who always wanted to be remnant now can be remnant. Recall that Rutherford had to invent the great crowd to absorb the large increases in organizational growth as the 144,000 could not account for such growth.. But now the great crowd has essentially flatlined, there is no more real growth there. It looks like the WTS is having a renaissance with the early 19th century, when every bible student was a raving annointed kook. It just might work .The number of remnant could soar into the millions if the 144,000 was made a symbolic number not a literal one.
I think the WTS is desperate for new member$hip.
