    Who thinks here that Witnesses outnumber Mormons? Check out the above link. Very interesting. Only 1 out of 4 are active and the membership stats include people who leave but dont turn a resignation letter.

    "The LDS Address Unknown File (or "Lost Address File") consists of individuals who were once baptized but cannot be located. In Poland, the Address Unknown File represents approximately 10% of total membership. It is not known whether this is lower or higher than in other nations. The total number of names in the worldwide Address Unknown File has not been publicly released, but the file has been described as "huge" and "surprisingly large" by church employees with access to the data. Church membership department employees confirm that individuals in the "Address Unknown File" are counted as full members and included on statistical reports until the age of 110 or until proof of death can be located."

    So after all this said, do you think Witnesses outnumber?

    Sorry...the link is this one:

    I thought the Mormon's vastly outnumbered the Witnesses - I suppose it depends on what they deem as a qualification to be one of their flock! I guess it's a bit like the way govenments massage unemployment figures when they start to get too high for comfort...
