Spectacular Growth of Jehovah's Witnesses Sees End Times Belief
The Watchtower Bible and Tract Society known as Jehovah's Witnesses has grown from 100000 members in 1943 to over 1 million with 2 million more reading its literature. The group, active in 90 countries including the United States, emphasizes door to door preaching and assigns many members as full time workers. They anticipate the end of the world soon in a climactic Armageddon, with 144000 joining heaven and others living forever on earth. They reject hell and eternal punishment and view other religions as instruments of Satan.
