Again I wonder how this compares with the Mormons.
2% of the population attend the Memorial in Mexico which I think is pretty amazing.
There was a curious drop in the number of congregations in Mexico a few years ago. I wonder why that was, I have not heard an explanation or even speculation about it.
The sustained annual growth of 4% in Mexico is fairly consistent with a population that has only 30% internet penetration.

The United States had growth of 3% last year, and must be among the most Internet connected countries in the world.
The 3% US growth is almost certainly primarily from Spanish-language congregations, and the growth there is almost entirely from recent 3rd-world immigrants (both JWs moving in and conversions from the 'field').
At an elders school I attended about 6 years ago, the comment was made that fully 25% of the JWs in the USA were in Spanish-language congregations. I'm virtually certain the percentage is significantly higher now.
Recent 3rd world immigrants don't move to the US and instantly become internet-savvy.
From my perspective the English language congregations are actually in decline in most areas.
The point about the internet is still valid - those exposed to the internet are far less likely to become, or remain, JWs.
There are probably a fair number of English congregations in Mexico too.
25% of the congregations in Mexico? Hardly.
Probably a few dozen at most. Mostly filled with American retirees who preach to other American retirees. Not exactly a fruitful field.
The United States had growth of 3% last year, and must be among the most Internet connected countries in the world.
The exact growth figure was actually 2.68% (rounded up to 3%), and the United States is fairly unique in that it is the birthplace of the religion.
