Very interesting article on CBC.
Traditionally Christianity is on the way out.
However, alternative Christianity is doing well. Non-Christians are thriving.
JW's seem to be among those on the way out.

There are strong indications that for any given religion to survive in the Information Age, it has to "mainstream", i.e. progressive reform.
However, authentic progressive reform involves abandoning apocalypticism, exclusivity, Biblical inerrency, homophobia, misogyny, etc. (not just a slick new logo and webchannel)...
...all things that, if the WTS were to jettison, would leave it unrecognizable.
They wouldn't be Jehovah's Witnesses, anymore.
