According to a recent 2008 report of the National Council of Churches’, the Jehovah’s Witnesses and the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (Mormon) are the fastest growing churches among the top 25 denominations in the U.S. and Canada. Both groups have a number of controversial doctrines which deviate from the basic doctrines of historical Christianity.

Over the years, I have had several Mormon friends who said that the fast growth of the LDS was proof of God’s favor on their church. I wonder what they would say about the ‘Witnesses’ who are growing even faster?

For sure, the growth rate of these churches does prove that their members are dedicated; but really says nothing in regard to the truth or falsity of these very different movements.            *Top
