Thanks for the study on the WT study, Blondie.  Interesting difference between Ralph Winter's statistics and the WT's dismissal of church growth...  How is it that the church grows faster, even without going door to door?... 

Missiologist Ralph Winter estimated in early 2001 that there are 680 million "born again" Christians in the world, and that they are growing at about 7% a year. This represents about 11% of the world's population and 33% of the total number of Christians.
"Churches today grow usually by biological growth (when the children within a local church family make a personal profession of faith)"
"by transfer growth (when a newcomer transfers his or her membership from another local church"

Sounds like frustration to me.   Bottom line, of course: do more, you lousy  witnesses!

PS:  Blondie, Jesus in Beijing is a great book!  I borrowed it from our public library, and it's been ordered now for our church library.
