I think there’s something we all need to be reminded of…
…that in the long run, it doesn’t actually matter how many alleged “adherents” the WTS claims.
If more and more are just warming seats while scrolling their smartphones, Zooming in and tuning out, fibbing about their ministry activity, living as they please without fear of being “removed”, and most importantly, closing their wallets (either because they’re PIMO or broke as shit)…
…any numbers the WT claims - fudged or otherwise - are essentially irrelevant.
