But, as far as people leaving I am well aware of that! Many older JWs are passing away (Boomers and ones older). Many Witnesses have walked away in the last two+ decades, myself included..

It must be a mighty ton of money they're losing, to create such a furor. Going to court to fight for the "right" to feed at the public tax trough, while simultaneously claiming God approves of abandoning children who don't want to be forced into the religion.
- The Jehovah’s Witnesses in Norway According to the Norwegian government’s Ministry of Children and Family Affairs, in 2021, there were 12,686 registered Jehovah’s Witnesses in the country. That number meant taxpayers were on the hook to give the Witnesses more than NOK 16 million (roughly $1,778,793 in U.S. dollars) in support.

Lying Anthony Morris stating religious grants were withheld due to, ''religious persecution.'' Actually, Norway was withholding $$$$ due to ''violating children's rights.''
Here is the truth on why Jehovah's Witnesses lost their grant money:
Earlier this year, Jehovah's Witnesses were denied state grants for 2021 because of violations of the religious community law. In our opinion, the religious community violates the members' right to free cancellation. We believe this violates the members' right to religious freedom. We also believe that they violate children's rights by opening up to exclude baptized minors, and by encouraging members to socially isolate children who do not follow the rules of religious community.
Under the Religious Society Act, a society can have its registration withdrawn if they violate the provisions of the law. We have come to believe that Jehovah's Witnesses violate the members' right to free enrollment of religious communities and that they violate children's rights. Against this background, we have come to the conclusion that society cannot be registered under the religious community law. We believe this is in line with the provisions of the religious community law.

The state manager in Oslo and Viken has decided to withdraw Jehovah's Witnesses registration as a religious community under the Religious Society Act.
We sent a notice to Jehovah's Witnesses about possible loss of registration on October 25 this year. In the notice, we asked for feedback on whether they wanted to correct the conditions that led to the denial of state grants. The community has not wanted to correct the conditions that led to the denial of state grants in 2021, and they express that they still disagree with the decision to refuse grants.

Loss of registration means that society no longer has the right to promote state grant requirements. This also means that society loses its marriage authority. However, they are free to practice their religion and activities independently of a public register, since the religious community law is essentially a subsidy law.
The decision can be found in right-wing margins on this page.

Do the old boys on the GB actually report their field service hours?
by eyeslice inthis came to mind as my 71 year old wife got up at 6:30 to drive 1.1/4 hours to meet the field ministry group.
we live a long way from the kingdom hall and the traffic is horrendous where we live!.
somehow, i doubt the good old boys do much themselves.

Tori"s experience, if there really is a Tori which I highly doubt, is a lie!
Yes...Mason is right back in field service after every release from the hospital. How many funerals have you been to that had 700 attendees? A teacher gets a visit the next day, after no contact from Jehovah's Witnesses in five years.
“Jehovah Gave Us Exactly What We Needed”
Mason was diagnosed with cancer at age seven, and for the next six years, he courageously fought the disease. Mason had to be hospitalized a number of times during the course of his illness. Yet, those who were in his congregation noticed a pattern. Each time Mason was released from the hospital, he was back in the ministry almost immediately. Mason loved to engage in the ministry for as long as his strength would permit.
When Mason died, more than 700 people attended his memorial service, including many of his schoolmates and teachers. One teacher who visited him shortly before his death said that she wanted her children to have the kind of faith that Mason had. She also said that she had not been contacted by Jehovah’s Witnesses in the five years she had been living in the area. The next day she was contacted at her home by the Witnesses. The teacher agreed to attend a congregation meeting.
Tori, Mason’s mother, says: “Jehovah didn’t miraculously heal Mason, and sometimes that thought prevented me from seeing how Jehovah was making our way successful. But he was. Jehovah gave us exactly what we needed when we needed it.”

STUDY ARTICLE 3
Jehovah Is Helping You to Succeed
HOW JEHOVAH MAKES YOU SUCCESSFUL
13. Does Jehovah intervene in every situation we face? Explain.
13 What conclusion can we draw from the account of Joseph? Does Jehovah intervene in every situation we encounter? Does he maneuver every event in our life, so that all bad things that happen are for a good reason? No, the Bible does not support that view. (Eccl. 8:9; 9:11) However, we do know this: When we face a trial, Jehovah is aware of it and he hears our cries for help. (Ps. 34:15; 55:22; Isa. 59:1) More than that, Jehovah can help us to endure hardships successfully. How?
15-16. What do you learn from Tori’s experience?
15 Often, it is only after we look back on a hardship that we see how Jehovah helped us get through it. A sister named Tori found that to be true. Her son, Mason, battled cancer for six years until he passed away. Understandably, Tori was heartbroken. She says, “I don’t think there could have been a more painful ordeal for me as a mother.” She adds, “I’m sure other parents would agree that seeing your child suffer is worse than experiencing it yourself.”
16 As devastating as that trial was, however, Tori later reflected on the ways in which Jehovah helped her through it. “In hindsight,” she says, “I can see Jehovah’s loving hand throughout my son’s illness. For example, even when Mason was too sick to see visitors, brothers and sisters would drive two hours to the hospital. There was always someone in the waiting room—ready and willing to provide support. Also, our material needs were cared for. Even in the worst of times, we never went without.” Jehovah gave Tori what she needed to endure, and he did the same for Mason.—See the box “ Jehovah Gave Us Exactly What We Needed.”
According to this article, does Jehovah cure Mason's cancer? Does Jehovah help put Mason's cancer into remission?
“I can see Jehovah’s loving hand throughout my son’s illness.''
''Jehovah gave Tori what she needed to endure, and he did the same for Mason.''
Mason's mom, Tori, is happy with Jehovah because brothers and sisters drove two hours to the hospital and supported the family by being in the waiting room.
Exactly, Tori! ''Jehovah gave you exactly what you needed.''
Jehovah ( a powerful God that created everything in existence) is useless when humans encounter horrible events in their lives. All the best Jehovah can do is be aware of every situation and hears our cries for help.
