@aniron- where are the missing ones? They are there! The publisher figures include everyone that got baptized that year!
When they show the number baptized it is not in ADDITION to the publisher figure. They are just showing you that out of that number of pubs. this many got baptized this sy.
For example- I got baptized in 1978. So I was included in the baptism figure for that year. But I became a publisher in 1976! So I was already INCLUDED in the peak and ave pub figures for the 1977 and 1978 service years!
Why do people try to ADD the baptism figure to the Publisher figure? You'd be counting it twice!
All must already BE publishers in order to qualify for baptism. Each service year when you look at the baptism figure what you are seeing is the number of publishers who got baptized that year. You can not ADD the baptism figure to the publisher figure as those who got baptized that year have already been counted as publishers!
The peak and ave publisher figures are already INCLUDING all those who got baptized that year.
No one is missing.
