Will WBTS and JW's grow in future years, or pretty much remain in the static state is has been in for past few years? Or decline? Is there posibility of an internal meltdown? How will these subcultures, and any JW who wants to, with their ability to access the internet, and that all important "knowledge" data base, affect these numbers? Decrease them? Increase them? Going door-to-door will certainly not increase the orgainizations population, and base on what I've read, it never hase. It seems the WBTS is going to have to do something to continue to prove they are the "troof".
It's very interesting, and what was repeatedly reported during the many days of recent TV coverage, that during the tenure of the late Pope John Paul II (~25 years) the Catholic church grew by 250 million (~10 Million a year), and to best of my knowledge the Pope did not have to go door-to-door, nor to best of my knowledge again, offer one free bible study. Maybe the JW's/WBTS could learn something from the good Catholics. Maybe everyone will have access to Heaven, not just the annointed 144,000. Maybe there is a Trinity. Did Jesus really return, invisibly, in 1914? Hmmm... The JW's, from what I could tell, are pretty good people. What if they changed just a few of their more bizzare beliefs and came more in line with traditional Christianity? What if the KH's became actual places of worship instead of just meeting places. What if, what if, and what if.
Have a wonderful day.
