  If increasing is clear evidence of God's backing, then the Mormons would be the ones or perhaps Muslims.

  WT 4/1/01 p. 16 True Christianity Prevails! (Note the lack of specific references so you can check the date of these assertions)

  Just as historians remarked on the astounding growth of Christianity in the first century, many scholars have commented on the growth of Jehovah?s people in modern times. In the United States, two scholars jointly wrote: "During the past 75 years the Jehovah?s Witnesses have sustained an extraordinary rate of growth . . . and have done so on a global scale." An East African journal refers to the Witnesses as "one of the world?s fastest growing and highly respected religions known internationally for its total adherence to biblical teachings." And a conservative Catholic journal, published in Europe, refers to "the overwhelming growth of Jehovah?s Witnesses." What has contributed to this growth?

  " An East African journal refers to the Witnesses as "one of the world?s fastest growing and highly respected religions known internationally for its total adherence to biblical teachings."

  LOL! That is so generic that it isn't even laughable! And, notice, it says they are known for their total adherence to biblical teachings.......sorry, but, I'm not a christian, nor do I believe in the bible. That basically negates 9/10ths the world's other religious views or opinions, not to mention all the countries who are banning JW's because of those same "biblical teachings."

  fastest growing and highly respected

  As already commented on, check other non-christian religions, and respected by whom?????????????????? I gotta wonder about this whole quote!

  The rank and file lap this up because it appeals to their brainwashed minds. They don't think about all the other stuff like we do! They just gulp it down as "gospel" truth. We aren't brainwashed anymore, we can see the holes in their journalistic reporting and their reasoning. That's why most people won't even read the mags anymore. I was walking to the garage where I park when I'm working, and there, on the cement sidewalk near the bus station lay a WT mag. I was walking with a workmate, and could not resist deliberately grinding my boot heel on the front page. It lay there like the refuse it is, people paying no attention as they walked/ran to catch their bus.
