“and yet there are over 13 million Mormons now.

You’re still using the official New LDS Math

http://www.sltrib.com/ci_2890645 - active members are more like 4 million. Not much different than Scientology.

“According to LDS-published statistics, the annual number of LDS converts declined from a high of 321,385 in 1996 to 241,239 in 2004. In the 1990s, the church’s growth rate went from 5 percent a year to 3 percent.

By comparison, the Seventh-day Adventist Church reports it has added more than 900,000 adult converts each year since 2000 (an average growth of about 5 percent), bringing the total membershipto 14.3 million. The Assemblies of God now claims more than 50 million members worldwide, adding 10,000 new members every day.

“Russia provides a dramatic example of different religious growth rates. After more than 15 years of proselyting there, LDS membership has risen to 17,000. During the same period, Jehovah’s Witnesses membership has increased to more than 140,000, with some 300,000 individuals attending conferences.”
