They can show whatever numbers they choose to, there is no way of keeping tabs on this, nor will the current active members question it. Most of us here don't believe any of it.

We've seen it, since I don't believe in devil, demon, bible or religion, it just seems silly, with the cross and holy water BS, those movies don't scare me anymore, and nope no demon attacks for watching either LOL!!

What’s So Good About Not Being A Jehovah’s Witness At This Point In Your Life?
by minimus infor me it’s freedom!
you are not bound by an organization’s man made rules and whims.
you don’t have to account to mere men for approval.

So many things are good about not being a witness, what stands out the most to me is, having a free mind to question anything, learn about anything, do whatever I want with absolutely no guilt, no more mind numbing meeting etc. Knowing that there is no old man in the sky observing what I do and think, no anxiety about persecution, armagged on etc. Life is good!

Ahahaha!! Wow this is hilarious! So they've pretty much gone Megachurch, desperation shows all over this, and the idiots lapping it up, withe the exception of the older ones, who I've heard are not happy about it, but since the Crap Society knows they will be dying soon, they really don't care.

WTH? This organization is really treading dangerous waters, I hope it comes back to bite them in th A**! I will definitely bring this up to some of our still in family members, maybe it will make them think, but more than likely not, they are completely blind.

Introducing myself
by Leopold theseconed ini have been introduced to this site by my new friends that are helping me navigate through the reality of waking up and finding out that i have been lied to my whole life.
i grew up in the truth and have given over thirty years to this organization and the few years i wasn’t there my mind was certainly trapped.
the more i think about it i am really not that surprised there was a lot along the way that should have woken me up but it took till recently.

Welcome Leopold ll, I was lucky to leave the Lie after 35 years in, thankfully my husband and children, some siblings and best friend and her kids were freed from the Cult too. It's been 13 years now, and we've never looked back. Don't belong to any religion, our minds are free. You have found a wonderful place here with great people, as others have said, read the materials available to free your mind from the programming. Good luck to you!
