As a former Jehovah’s Witness, this is correct. I don’t know what Mormon rates look like, but the amount of people actually converted this way for JWs is abysmal. I wouldn’t be surprised if Mormon rates are similar.
What it does is have you spending a lot of time on activities in the organization. This takes away time you might spend on something other than the org. It also build a large sunk cost fallacy up in your mind. If you were to leave, you’re admitting that all that time was a waste. You need to keep doing it to make the previous waste of time “worth it”.
Any people actually converted this way are a bonus, not the primary goal.
Two years, I “converted” about 2 people per month. I believe all of them were done with Mormonism before my mission was over.
Ironically, my mission was the catalyst for me leaving Mormonism.

And now you’re on team boobies. See, things are looking up!
Only if you’re short, else you must look down for boobies.
And multiple other factors determine whether the boobies are also looking up or down.
Why not both? Fill one with helium!
