.7% population growth in the US? does that include "undocumented" residents? They may count in the Foreign Language Field of WHA HAPPENED, but not in the US Census. The only real growth in on sites like this that Have JW or WT in their title.

Memorial attendance decreased by about 350,000 from last year.
Worldwide Memorial Attendance decreased 1.9%.
U.S. Memorial Attendance decreased 2.4%.
This is astounding! I don't recall this happening before, but maybe I was blinded by the [New] Lite.

JWs will latch on to any positive mention of growth and don't require any proof to back it up!

frankiespeakin I think, this is a very good question that needs attention. In principal, every member of the 144k Watchtower-sponsored claimants should be decreasing as they pass out each year. Any increase whether slight or substantial, raises credibility question about this false teaching as the 'end' comes closer.
