There are at least two sides to this problem. One being an insufficient concept that getting people through the doors, the meetings will take care of the rest. For the so-called responsible brothers, shepherding appears to be to difficult a job they don't want to invest their time in. Maybe consider spending x amount of time on person a waste of time?
The other side to the problem is not knowing what brother or sister so and so left. If it is something attributed to practices such as elitist speaking, well they're not going to crack down on elitist speaking during prophesying meetings for the benefit of appeasing one person to return to meetings.
