They're trying to convince themselves their cult is thriving, gowing and not dying.
God is not with them and they feel the cold but can't admit what it is like the good salesmen they are.
Why do the Witnesses keep mentioning how many people were at the Memorial at their hall?

I knew about a competition between the Foothill Farms and Carmichael congregations in Sacramento County, CA. They actually would send one member of their congregation to MONITOR the head count so it would not be inflated to beat the other congregation's numbers.

I just think it's something for them to talk about. It seems,as far as the congregations around here,the attendance was down.
I must be a submarine Witness now,lol. Although,I do not do assemblies,or go to their parties. I'm hoping going to the Memorial didn't put me back on their radar.

Some congs get very competitive...I guess they see the one as superior who fills more seats once a year.

Self supporting propaganda , nothing else.
You know the WTS. is very concerned about numbers, for numbers does equate with the other supporting numbers $$$
The counting of hours in service, how many pieces of their literature is placed, attendance at meetings....the list goes on
The number of partakers is a bit of a bite in the ass though, they previously said the numbers would decrease as the time of the end drew
closer. But then again that too was self supporting propaganda toward their own doctrines.

And, what do they have spiritually? Nothing. Not only they don't abide by the Bible as they claim, but they are basing everything on a lie. All the years I was a witless, I never had even one single solitary experience that was actually spiritually upbuilding. Not even one. Nor have I seen any--those embellished experiences at the a$$emblies, where someone was blessed to pious-sneer, are not genuine spiritual experiences.

telling out truth about

to the tune of you know what, sorry, I do hope I haven't given you an "earworm".

To me, they just 'herd' (like cows) in and out the congregation(s) that night, nothing else.
