Our congregation is one of those diminishing ones where a lot of people move away or fade. When I came into it, the congregation was at zero growth. Now it is negative. We have a couple dominant elders who are control-freaks, a strong undercurrent of gossip, and most people are related to each other (inbred, most likely) by blood and/or marriage. Those last two tend to go together. I'd rate it as an ultra-conservative, ultra-conformist kind of congregation with a lot members doing the double-life thing, especially the younger ones. I'm not saying the double life thing is a bad thing, either. I just don't understand how these ones can stomach the meetings and then go back to their everyday lives.
My congo is so bad that it has people from neighboring congregations looking down on ours and calling it a "bad congregation." LOL That is like a bunch of dogs all refusing to smell a particular dog's crotch. "We're all disgusting, eat-our-own-vomit dogs, but see that dog over there? Now HE's gross!" (Use of illustration: 2 points)
But, doctrinal and organizational issues aside, how did/does your congregation compare to the others around? For example, mine drives people way. In contrast, the one I go to in a blue moon with some friends in another city is one of the "cool" congregations where the majority of people there seem to be well-balanced and much more tolerant. A couple elders there seem to take the WT directives with a grain of salt. People try to mind their own business there. Obviously, they are the exception to the rule.
