Shepardless In relation to Philippines, Watchtower seems to have more success in poorer Catholic countries, and perhaps this is an example of that.
Shepardless Angola is a very poor country and also very Catholic, the population speaking Portuguese and very influenced, culturally, by their ex colonists. So your theory works for Angola too.
(All have been across the last three weekends at a UK assembly hall in October)
Assembly 1 Attendance 975 Baptisms 8 (Oct 2015 2)
Assembly 2 Attendance 948 Baptisms 6 (Oct 2015 4)
Assembly 3 Attendance 926 Baptisms 7 (Oct 2015 Unknown)
The OP - above quoted - lists the attendances and baptisms from 2015 - is that supposed to be 2016?
How can those puny single digit numbers ever be called a "bounce back"? Or is the OP written with a sense of irony?
@ steve2
No it wasn't written by me with a sense of irony. But seeing all the responses I'm reassured that it should have been. I forgot how low the baptisms had become pre 2014, let alone just after.
There was one DC in Memphis back in the mid 75, just before the end came in. 75, where there was 15,000 there. Total baptised, right around 2,000!
London, Ohio, USA, 11/12/16 S.A.D.
900+ attendance, 2 baptized
@Dropoff ...
Good to hear normal low service is being resumed!
