Jerry,

The church I pastor keeps an active membership.  If someone absents 
themselves from the fellowship for 3 months or more their membership is 
rendered inactive and they loose the right to vote, etc.  If they return, 
they can be reinstated to active membership.  Due to this process, our 
membership roster is scrubbed each year and as a result, we probably have an 
attendence that is 50% greater than our actual membership.

By the way, what is the cult within the Baptist church?  I am guessing it is 
Free Masonry but I'm not sure.
