Japan Has Lost 639 Congregations
Perhaps if they put an ad in "Lost and Found"...

Or missing persons...
Seems to be the more developed countries with stats like that. I guess if you're dirt poor in a third world country with no other options the "truth" probably sounds a lot better than it does here.
It's because they recently discovered the insulting quote about oriental people as mentioned here:

What are the publisher numbers? Did they consolidate Congregations to save money? Do they have enough Elders to run things for them? I know this has been a problem in fast growth areas. It is tought to find people who are intelligent enough to run things the Corporate way and yet stupid enough to blindly follow those phony morons at WTS HQ. Maverick

I wonder what the Japanese internet scene is like, they're sure not to look there!

Well that is one point about merging congregations, one reason may be to keep critical mass.
