Since the population of the USA is about 303 million and Canada is somewhere around 32 million, that means there are 1 million nominal JW's mixed in among the 335 million people in these two nations.
That's still just a drop in the bucket. A 2.25% increase in the membership only makes them a slightly bigger drop of water.

How do they measure growth? Is it all by the same stick or simply as stated according to the organization that is reporting?

For every 3 that come in...there is 1 that leaves. There are millions of Ex-Witnesses in the world.
