Is Jehovah's Witnesses the fastest growing religion?

Answer 1

No. Jehovah's Witnesses are however the fastest growing Christian denomination in America according to an ABC news report by Diane Sawyer. The fastest growing religion worldwide is Islam, not entirely because of new converts per se, but because of the population growth in the predominantly Islamic countries, where growth tends to be concentrated. This makes new children Islamic from birth. Although there has been an increase in converts in the western world and most metrics suggest it is because of the exposure the religion has seen in the media.

Next to Islam, the fastest growing religion predominantly from adult converts, is Christianity as a whole. In the west main stream Christian religions are in decline. In Africa and Asia it is growing exponentially. A concentrated effort by Christian religions, such as Jehovah's Witnesses, to publish either printed material or online websites in a vast amount of native languages is considered to be a large factor in this growth. The website of Jehovah's Witnesses, JW.org is the most translated website in the world by a large margin. (Even more languages available than Wikipedia.) This growth represents mostly adult converts to Christianity where there was no faith based belief system before.

Jehovah's Witnesses consider themselves to be Christian so the demographic includes them, but are largely disowned by the main stream Christian religions because of their rejecting the doctrines of the trinity, immortality of the soul, and hellfire.

Answer 2

No, they are not the fastest growing religion but they are, according to some sources, the fastest growing CHRISTIAN denomination in the United States and possibly the world.

Answer 3

No, they are not. There are 7 million Jehovah's Witnesses worldwide and counting. But mostly mainstream religious groups such as Baptists and Catholics outnumber them considerably.
