With out a doubt I think more are leaving than coming in. Especially quality converts who will be able to pass it onto the next generation. At the time I left in a cong of around 100 pubs. 6 left and although not DFed and I would say they will never return. There were also 3 others disfellowshiped around the same time. I have since learned that there are a further 3 that are now also inactive since my exit. That's 12% loss in less than 3-4 years. The fact that sights like these are growing would suggest that there is a growing discord amongst the R&F in the organisation. I think it was a good move on WTBTS to have all the KHs titles in their name in case of such an event. -

AW: Lupinie verblüht, wie gehts weiter?
by Metora06 inthe fund has been in operation for 2 or 3 months now, so i wondered if anyone has heard of any congregations that have tried or succeeded in making claims or getting funding for projects.
or, as we all suspect, is it like the kh assistance arrangement where if you try to make a claim you are "encouraged" to raise the funds locally.. .
flag dislike like.

Honestly I think this is a step in the right direction for them. The issues with growth in the west is been able to retain and revive it's existing membership. I believe this is far more cost effective and easier than knocking on doors trying to get a new convert. Good on you watchtower for at least recognizing the problem and trying to do something about it. -

In this country most are unaware of it, and those that I have tried to talk to about it have had little interest in knowing. The 2 best comments I got when I tried mentioning it are.
1 I've got better things to worry about
2 don't read overseas news papers because this will confuse me.
Of course I've had the standard replies of apostate lies / greedy victims / satanic media etc
