This year has been a, somewhat, good year for JWs. In the past years There has been a greater number of people being baptized, but also a greater decline. This year there are less baptisms, but a less of a decline. The gap is closing, which is a good thing for them. Yes, for example: Australia, Japan, Belgium..etc. experienced this year a less of a decline and even a growth although there has been FEWER people getting baptized. People left the organization in FEWER numbers this year--a trend in the past years. But it's the newer ones who are not coming in as they used to. The death/inactive/DF toll should be of 2% and yet they increased by 2.2%

Remember.. the World population increased by 1.5 % and that was without ANY preaching.

Currently the world population is expected to increase by 76.5 million people a year. So every year we have nearly 13 times more people being born into this world than there are JWs in total.
Consider then how will the preaching work ever be finished?
How can it be finished especially if the rate of JW growth is only 2.2%?
If this is the "last days" the preaching work is supposed to be all finished. If there are still billions of people left who never were preached to then we hear the standard JW answer: "Jehovah knows their heart condition". Well fine, then is he not cleaver enough to know the hear condition of the remaining few folk and let us off the task of preaching?
JW...think....NOT

Annual death rate is confirmed by Watchtower iself (as printed in Watchtower 1999, July 15 page 9, par.2) is 1%., this article is a good article to read about the decrease in WTS.

Yes, the idea that Jehovah delays the end to give everyone a chance to hear the message is rediculous - as more people are born, the number who don't hear it get's bigger and bigger all the time.
Just another example of a doctrine or belief that only works no a superficial level and makes no sense if you think about it for a minute.
