  It could be argued that the Jehovah's Witness religion is obessed with it's own growth. What kind of non-profit organization puts general growth in such high esteem? Non-profit companies are suppose to have a mission; a purpose. All I see are percentage numbers and all I read are stories promoting the growth of the organization.

  Baptizms! They are the end result, then the baptized (saved) enter the "flock" and fall off the radar. Now it's the baptized responsiblity to "live up to their dediction" while donating to the World Wide Work, of course.

  They crave more members because the more members they have the more revenue is taken it. The more revenue that is taken in the more power they assume.

  My ex and I often made jokes about the society worshiping its Holy Statistics.

  I sure does have a comedic element. The statistics are no joke among the Witnesses though, they are sacred numbers.

  If the Witnesses have 100 million people it's because God is on their side. If someone else has 93 more million than the Witnesses it's because Satan's such a good liar.

  What a fun way to live a life!

  For being so obsessed with growth, their 2-4% yearly growth is pathetic.

  Their growth as tapered off as of late, but they had some serious booms back in the day though. They were significant enough to shoulder the blow of the current lack of numbers.

  I wonder if they hope for another 9/11 so they can see their numbers grow again in this country...?
