  @Gayle many people who consider themselves christians and megachurches overthere do. here an example of the use of the name Jehovah in Ghana on Ghanaweb.
  

  http://www.ghanaweb.com/GhanaHomePage/religion/artikel.php?ID=337859

  quote

  Prophet Nakoa Nazareth Ansah Jamson, Spiritual Leader of the Prophets and Spiritual Churches Council in Ghana, has described corruption as a bad wind which is blowing in the country.
  
  He gave the assurance that it would soon come to an end, since Ghana is God chosen country.
  
  Prophet Nakoa Jamson made the remark in an interview with newsmen when the Prophets and Spiritual Churches Council organized a national thanksgiving service and prayers for the country at the Independence Square in Accra.
  
  The service was to thank God for the peace, before, during and after the Supreme Court verdict on August 29, 2013.
  
  Prophet Nakoa Jamson said God has been merciful to the country during the 2012 election and therefore He deserved praise and adoration from Ghanaians.
  
  “The peace and tranquility that followed the court verdict is phenomenal and must be acknowledged with thanks to our God Jehovah most High.”

  @fastjehu tell your mother that in Africa hundreds of millions of people use the name Jehovah. In Nigeria and Ghana for example you can read it almost everyday in newspapers and magazines. I know this from my own experience

  using the name Jehovah does not make you a JW. Hundreds of millions of people use the name Jehovah.

  @Never a JW

  Sociologist Rodney Stark stated in his study about Jehovah's Witnesses:

  The Witnesses claimed their average number of publishers in Canada was 100,991 for 1991. In contrast, the 1991 Canadian Census found 168,375

  self- identified Witnesses. What this shows is that there are many Canadians who report themselves to be Witnesses, but who are not counted as publishers. Consequently, membership statistics based on the average number of publishers offer a very conservative estimate.

  @Never a JW

  Sociologist example: Rodney Stark
  

  Survey example: Jehovah's Witnesses' official statistics only count as members those who submit reports for preaching activity, usually resulting in lower membership numbers than those found by external surveys. For example, Jehovah's Witnesses report approximately 1.2 million active publishers in the United States (including some children); however, the American Religious Identification Survey conducted in 2008 found that about 1.9 million adults self-identified as Jehovah's Witnesses.

  does anyone have any links to how the mormons (or ex mormons for that matter) view the changes that the wts has made over recent years, especially the growth of jw.org and characters like caleb & sophia?.

  have they noticed?

  do they see similarities?

  @konceptual conversion ratio's are not important

  Noah preached for many years and he saw no results at all, still he is called a preacher of righteousness 2 Peter 2:5
  

  So important is only to do what God commands us to do. People do not make converts,.. that is impossible.

  (1 Corinthians 3:5-7) . . .. 6 I planted, A·pol′los watered, but God kept making [it] grow; 7 so that neither is he that plants anything nor is he that waters, but God who makes [it] grow.

  @Gonebad are you good at math? about 0.8% of the people are dying every year so that is about 10,000 witnesses per year in the U.S

  there is a net increase every year of active witnesses in the U.S (in 2014 the net increase of average publishers was about 20,000 and 36,064 were baptised)

  So just explain how you get the 40,000+ figure of people being disfellowshipped,.. leaving.. fading etc etc.?
