28 baptized with about 8,000 attendance = .35% or .0035. Quite low. Baptized were age 9-69.
24 baptized at Tucson, AZ today - attendance 5,670

Just came back from one on the East Coast. Attendance numbers (roughly):
Friday - 5,200
Sat - 5,300
Sun - 6,111
37 baptized. If you use the Sat stats, then it's .69%. Using Sun, then it's .6%.

as the Service Year raps up for 2012 end of this month of August. Last of summer District Conventions rapping up in U.S. this weekend.
Many reports about unimpressive amounts getting baptized at Conventions this summer. Hopefully another decrease again this year.

11,125 attendance at the convention i attended with 39 baptized. I’m told speaker wasn’t too jazzed with the small number of baptismal candidates he was delivering his talk to. A disappointing 39 out of 11,125, .0035%!
The love of the greater number among JWs may be cooling off in more ways than one!

I am continually shocked at how baptisms have dropped off, yet the typical witnesses don't seem to realize it. A circuit assembly this weekend in London Ohio had 2 baptized out of 900 in attendance. 2/900 = .0022

That percentage is way way below the rise in the population, it does not even cover the faithfull JW's who have died in the last year !!!!!

I haven't been to a meeting since June 2010...but I was shocked to see 0 baptized with 1500 attending at one of the last CA I attended! Bizare to watch the brother giving the talk for no one...
