"Growth = God's Blessing" has been so deeply baked into the Org's ideological DNA for so long, they almost have no choice but to try and spin the numbers accordingly.
IMO, that fact in and of itself is enough reason to take any stats the WT leadership and reps give out with an Everest-size grain of salt.

You'd think XJWs would have had enough of that sort of thing.

This, IMO, is why they quietly reversed the position that former sex offenders could not serve as congregation servants a few years back...
...the pool of willing (and able) "qualified brothers" was getting too damn shallow, thus making it harder to run the Org at the grassroots level.
'Course, the deeper you scrape the bottom of the barrel, the poorer the quality of product you find.

The Big Lie JW`s Tell The Courts !
by smiddy3 inimho, its the one rodney spinks and terry o`brien parroting the governing body direction is that when somebody leaves the religion whether they just fade ,disassociate or even get disfellowshiped ,then they are in fact shunning all members of all congregations worldwide including family and friends ,.according to their testimony at the arc.. this is a blatant lie and misrepresents the truth,.and they know it.. when a person leaves the religion for whatever reason they are rejecting the governing body`s teachings ,doctrines and practices of the religion of jehovah`s witnesses and not all peoples associated within the congregations.. especially not family and friends who they may have long standing relationships with.. they try to shift the blame and put the onus on those who leave.. shame on them for perpetuating such a lie..

Diogenesister - "...I think they simply don't want Witnesses seeing their hypocrisy, so they've taken to printing 'Nations'..."
Ten bucks says their lawyers have told 'em that the Org's tax exemption is approaching the chopping block, and they gotta quit rocking the fucking boat.
Gotta be tough when you're stuck with an outdated Cold-War-centric End-TImes script and no one left with the imagination or narrative chops to give it the page-one rewrite it so sorely needs.

by spectromize inah!
