戒規
Economic trends in the 1970s led to an increasing defection rate, in addition to members who began to question the doctrine of the "one true church." Church discipline concerns led to a "new way" of dealing with non-conforming members, also known as deviants. This new method was referred to as "paneling", which led to an exceptionally large number of members who were disciplined and excommunicated. In these years the growth of the church stopped and was even reversed. The practice has since ceased.
