After the terrorist attacks, from what I heard, attendance went up at the local Toronto kingdom halls...and I was told that JWs were seeing that as some sort of sign that people were coming to the true religion.
Of course, what JWs don't seem to realize is that any time after an extreme event happens, attendance is up everywhere....the local churches were packed in Toronto, as well as the churches all over the US, from the major urban centres to the ones out in the heartland...and still, somehow, JWs seem not to notice that.
Just my thoughts on the matter,
