What's "94% voluntary dropout rate" mean? Does it mean that only 6% of the Church is left, or that 94% of dropouts are voluntary? I'm confused.-LawrenceA 10:53, 14 November 2008 (EST)

Out of more than 100,000 full-time members living in church members for at least 6 months, only 5,860 remained in 2001. So 6,000 out of 100,000 were left. Simple math. --Ed Poor ^Talk 10:56, 14 November 2008 (EST)

What these extraordinary figures mean, at the risk of belaboring the obvious, is that the church never had an effective mind control technique. People just kept walking away, probably due to the high demands on their time.
