    If we correlate those with other surveys it would seem that the more involved people are with their religion, the more likely it is they will leave it.

    Great catch Simon. reminds me of this:

    Familiarity breeds contempt. How accurate that is. The reason we hold truth in such respect is because we have so little opportunity to get familiar with it.

    Definition of highly involved...as we all know...forced baptism of born in children, going at least to the Sunday meeting and out in service once a month would meet the below criteria set out by Pew. It would however, mean you are a "weak" witness by JW standards if that was all you did.

    Pew defines as

    officially joining the church,

    attending services at least weekly,

    and attending a prayer group or Bible study at least monthly.
