You've made a mistake adding up baptisms somewhere. I can tell 7 million is far too high without even looking.

Real figure is more like 5 million or a bit less, without actually doing the calculation.

Sorry you are correct. My mistake. (Red face)

I just added the numbers from the chart again: 7,270,008
You are welcome to add up the numbers from the chart yourself and show me where my addition is incorrect.

Apology accepted. No harm, no foul!

Sorry, I was counting 1990 as 15 years ago. Doh! Time flies and I'm getting old.

So the theocracy isn't really increasing, it's an ever revolving churn of people coming in the front door and then fading out the back door.
4.2 million JWs in 1990 + 7.2 million new baptisms over the past 25 years, resulting in 8.2 million JWs in 2015 means 3.2 million have died or got themselves free.

I'm still waiting on my sisters update on the states but the numbers don't look so good so far and my sister is ocd about note taking and numbers.
