"An even more extreme example of what might be called "masked churn" is the relatively tiny Jehovah's Witnesses, with a turnover rate of about two-thirds. That means that two-thirds of the people who told Pew they were raised Jehovah's Witnesses no longer are - yet the group attracts roughly the same number of converts. Notes Lugo, "No wonder they have to keep on knocking on doors."
thanks for that link tsar, i hope i kept that issue of time around to clip it out as well.
2/3 masked churn, perfect way to describe. i wonder how they came to that statistic.
