  We all know that those that identify themselves as JW's in surveys are usually a great deal more in number than official WT publisher figures.

  Even though the WT figures show a minimal growth, these survey figures show an actual decrease!

  Could it be that most of the ones questioned in this survey are over 16, whilst the majority of people getting baptised as jws these days are under 16? Just a thought.
