We were told for decades that eventually Christianity would begin to receive Lee's teachings and go the way of the Recovery. It's hard to believe seeing their shrinking numbers.

Is there any estimate that their numbers are shrinking? I know me and my family left, but what is the trend in membership numbers?

They lost thousands when they quarantined Brazil and the GLA.

Only based on visits to the locality my parents meet with, there's growth with Spanish speaking brothers and sisters. Same remains true with Chinese speaking, but among English speaking there's no increase. Ones that remain are just older from the time I met there as a teen.
Whether it's true or not my suggestion is the late 80's turmoil caused many English speaking to become disillusioned. Those that remained, their children were recruited for FTTA. That could explain why many localities have a void among their young adults. it's either scarce or non-existent.
