  Part of what is going on here is demographics. More people are ageing rapidly. As they get older, they realize that time is no longer on their side. The Witness story makes sense to them. So what harm is there? One might do what is required to receive eternal life. What do you have to lose. Your life is in the past. That's not so bad. What's bad is people who have their whole lives ahead of them and blow it all.

  The other part is that the numbers can be pulled out of a hat. Does the society hire from outside to audit the numbers. I think not.

  The interesting thing is that the Witnesses are at the 25th position out of 25 and there is no mention of the "Atheist" religion. Well- - some do actually call it a religion, so I would like to know just how many have no affiliation or no religion at all.
