I looked at the numbers in the Yearbook for the Scandinavian countries:
| 2011 | 2012 | Baptized | Difference | %Increase | |
| Denmark | 14171 | 14281 | 227 | 110 | 0.776233 |
| Norway | 10740 | 10959 | 233 | 219 | 2.039106 |
| Sweden | 22052 | 22043 | 344 | -9 | -0.04081 |
| Total | 46963 | 47283 | 804 | 320 | 2.774527 |
Sweden seems to have had a slight decrease.
@bugbear the New bigger assembly halls will be build by an international group of volunteers. Some halls that are used now will be sold (for example one in the Netherlands that was used for 40 years). The money will be used for the new halls. The bigger new halls will serve for decades to come as assembly and convention halls. They will also be used for education like the school for couples. Housing, for the students will be there as well so that they dont have to travel each day back and forth to the hall.

That's a very interesting concept to me. These decades you speak of, are they after Armaggedon as well as this system in your veiw?

@Kate its not that interesting, and what i said is based on two things.
First the experience we have with the halls we used and now sell in order to build these new ones.
Second, if you remember the Video 'Jehovah's Witnesses - Organized to share the Good News' just take a look at what is said at 28:51 till 29:28 minutes.
what was said know one wants to acctually go look at that video again.
I was semi involved in a foreign language group before I left, and I have to say that they do have quite a different atmosphere to them. Lots of new faces all the time. Bible studies, and higher quantities of youth.

Using your figures I make the growth for all of Scandanavia just 0.681%, which is a lot less than the 2.77% growth you calculated and, I suspect, below population growth rates.
