  Watchtower and Dropouts

  Today I uploaded a brief article to my blog with current academic commentary on membership retention rates of Adventists, Mormons and Jehovah’s Witnesses.

  My article is titled Watchtower and Dropouts and is available at: http://marvinshilmer.blogspot.com/2011/08/watchtower-and-dropouts.html

• Jehovah's Witnesses have the lowest retention rate of any religious tradition. Only 37% of all those who say they were raised as Jehovah's Witnesses still identify themselves as Jehovah's Witnesses.
