from what i see as a southern european in my constituency the situation is patchy.. the congregation where i am now has 30% old people on zoom but also young couples with almost all their cameras off.

no increase but a slight decrease in the total number of publishers.. circuit assemblies: before covid you couldn't find a free seat if you arrived 10 minutes before the start.

Balaamsass2 - Very interesting. Guess Bob Dylan's 'The Times They Are a-Changin' is true. They must be losing key members/cash for positive change.

Are the halls of the Kingdom filling up, are they the same as before the pandemic or are they emptying?

KalebOutWest -- I agree there are many Catholics in LV and an incredible Catholic high school. I know all about the Mormans here. At one time more Morman wards in LV than anywhere other than Salt Lake. Many professionals - Morman dentists/doctors/lawyers but it's changed much the past 20 yrs. All the teachers many moons ago were Mormans - all changed today which is a good thing. LV has a Morman temple.

The LV Guardian Angel Cathedral is definitely beautiful. Have attended many weddings there. Catholic tourists (high rollers, celebs) visit/attend mass and contribute generously!! They're doing something right.

There's nothing beautiful or outstanding about the JW halls here. I know where a couple are and that's enough - I like the new modern, style, of the recently constructed one but clearly doesn't look like a place of worship. Looks out of place in the area it's built - actually, more upscale property (compared to others) for a hall. Property was most likely donated. Some halls might be full with the influx of new residents to LV -- I'll try to find out. An older hall on east side of LV has only elderly w/one teenager and I don't think it's more than 60-70 people but I'll try to confirm.

hoser: lol/hilarious! "I think the higher ups are wondering where everyone went."

The mucky-muck old hall here had one very thick, prominent, clique - since high school - couple college drop outs with wild fabricated stories of only one unit left to graduate - most likely early 70s when they were swept away to WT land. I continually heard so and so studied/baptized (late 80s/early 90s) and fell away which seemed odd yet at same time I knew why.

Kaleb - are the halls full of JWs in LV? I know there was a new one built couple yrs. ago in the Southwest part of town but read here on jw.com they're built to accommodate smaller groups of adherents. I've not heard of any halls being sold in LV but noticed fewer congregations listed online couple yrs. ago -- maybe they've grown the nos. since then.

There was a topic here about the JWs at Super Bowl -- unreal.

I think Vegas could be an unusual area and recall an elder mentioning yrs. ago how many new JWs move to the territory, join a hall, and shortly, thereafter, move on.

Other religions are interesting and Slimboyfat has great info/stats! Catholic churches here were packed couple yrs. ago and it's hard to believe they're losing so many.

JW GoneBad - elated and hopeful.

Appreciated Mikey/Kim's info -- interesting the numerous atheist boards online -- ex evangelicals, various ex-protestant ministers, Mormans/Catholics, etc. Obviously, atheism on the rise in US but I've not had time to check out/follow online boards.
