Reported placements - Shipments = wastage, and on a per cong basis maybe an Invoice ;-)
A while back I posted on website monitoring http://www.jehovahs-witness.net/jw/friends/251837/1/Relative-technical-sophistication-of-religious-websites#.UnzJASNdV5o
Whilst WTS are almost certainly analzying jw.org using offline webserver analysis it will be interesting to watch the website for any evidence of online trackers - so far still showing zero.

How I recently handled JWs at my door
by Christian guy inthe jws stopped by my house a couple weeks ago on a saturday morning.
i knew that with others most likely waiting for them out in the car they probably did not then have much time to engage in any serious conversation.
so i let them talk while i feigned interest in what they had to say.

The western world has many people choosing different beliefs than their parents.
Correct - non-belief is one of the fastest growing groups in the US
A 2012 study by the Pew Forum on Religion & Public Life reports, "The number of Americans who do not identify with any religion continues to grow at a rapid pace. One-fifth of the U.S. public – and a third of adults under 30 – are religiously unaffiliated today, the highest percentages ever in Pew Research Center polling.
When the facts become available - people will tend to make the rational choice. Hopefully the Middle East will make it out of the Bronze Age soon.
Meantime its not productive to waste time on size of moon speculations about god.

I accept its difficult to be a Christian convert in Afghanistan, and that the predominant culture is Islamic.
What does Bible God think about that?
Ideally should these Afghanis ultimately be converts to Christianity, because they are pretty mindful about offering a reverse procedure - see link below.
The point is that if we were able to do a theoretical experiment and raise children in a benign environment, would they be Muslim or Christian or neither?
*BTW - what teaching of radical Islam outlaws Christianity compared to vanilla Islam?

For there are none so blind as those who will not see
Maybe you are saying I only believe as I now do because I was born in a largely Christian nation. Well, I admit that fact certainly helped me find the faith I now have. But again, I don't see what you are getting at
I think you could do a bit more thinking about why there are no Christians in Afghanistan.
