This is an argument that you will hear all the time from JW's. Yesterday's Watchtower again emphasized this point. Not to "run ahead of Blondie", I made a chart on just how ridiculous this notion is. According to WT doctrine and jw.org only Jehovah's Witnesses and those that will be resurrected will have an opportunity to live in the new order. The fallacy of this argument is how many people including children and babies will have to be sacrificed for each day that passes? And is the sacrifice worth the reward? Well the numbers do not lie as the following chart demonstrates. Keep in mind that I was very generous with the figures of new witnesses as the numbers in their annual report do not reflect their net growth after the number of people DF'd every year. In addition I have not accounted for what I believe to be a high percentage of organic growth within the organization. We all know that the number of new baptisms is a result of family and children getting baptized. I am not sure what that figure is but I would bet it is in the 70% range. Even without factoring these parameters the numbers are staggering. In one year according to the United States Census Bureau that to save an additional 236,155 people that get baptized annually; Jehovah would have to kill close to 83 million souls. The logic is so warped but the average JW just does not get it.
