My take on it is, if someone leaves your church for another, it's because of one of two main reasons:
1. You aren't giving them the meat of the Word, yet the other church feeds them until they are fat.....so they should go, because being saved is more important than who's church they attend.....
2. They aren't there to serve God but to serve themselves and the appeal of a big church draws them more than God does.......and in that case, you would be better off without those people in your church.

HO, your number two point is the exact reason I would give for disagreeing with your first point.
We left the tiny church because of a lack of bouncity-bounce-bounce worship. Only later did I discover all the awesome preaching I missed out on because the small guy either couldnt or wouldnt invite those guys in. I remember being blown away the first time I heard the likes of Floyd Odom and Murrel Ewing (a celebrity in my mind after the Lanny Wolf UPC "We are the World" album)
