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.

Right, there is an unwillingness for LCers to develop an understanding as to why people leave, and on the flip side, there is also the unwillingness to implement changes when problems are identified. The result? Members are constantly under pressure to "succeed" in situations where success is out of the question. No one understands why the grandiose projections of an increase always amount to nothing. The LC drifts further and further away from reality.
