BW....
I am not sure if there are more Kingdom Halls or not, but they may have more congregations and that's easily done: you form a group and call it a congregation in a certain area, so in effect you could have 5, 6 or more congregations in one KH whereas some congregations could be as small as 20 members. That in itself does not constitute growth at all. Certainly the overal pricture is seriously down, so the logical question arises: is Jehovah's blessing still upon the WTBS at this moment? (I doubt if God's blessing was ever there). I still remember how clear the Society was (and is?) in declaring that the preaching work would be enormously intensified with an expected increase in members just before the end comes.....
Maybe the increase will be with ex-members before the end of the Watchtower comes....!

BTW Merry Xmas to you also Outlaw! Will the Czech republic win the decline of the end times award?
According to the WTS's 2001 Service Year Report (ending August, 2001), there were seventy-five (75!!) countries that reported a negative or zero increase!!
