    I always thought that nation was richly deserving God's wrath. Now I can see why The figure probably equates to eight missionaries (all westerners) who live next door to the american embassy, have their heads down, and visit home at every opportunity. LOL

    It's simple, use the rule of compounding. Researchers tell us that you are only six people away from meeting anyone in the world, why? We have a circle of influence of 250 people. Those 250 people know 250 people that know 250 people, yada yada yada yada. This is why pyramid schemes and their cousins multilevel sales are so effective one you have an army of motivated people. Do you know how they determined the number of people in our warm circle? Funeralas and weddings.

    So the flip side of the JWs are the millions of former JWs that can bring the tower down through advertising advertising advertising the religious scamers and the scam.

    Nic:

    I don't think that JW's affect the many nearly as much as they would like to think.

    We have been affected badly, of course, having been part of the sect. Since family groupings are usual in the JW's world, it sometimes seems like everyone surrounding us has also been affected by the Watchtower.

    In reality though, the WT is an insignificant sect on the world scene. The only way most peoples lives are touched by the JW's is to be slightly annoyed with them on the occasional Saturday morning.

    This is also the reason why the world at large is so tolerant of the JW's. They have no idea what they are all about, or the abuses of freedom perpetrated on their own members.

    Just my observations
