I always like to hear baptism with attendance numbers at RCs. Observe if the bigger amount baptized are JW children?

Aren't there more assemblies than this in the US? I'm a bit, (OK, more than a bit) out of touch, but surely there are more than 12 this year.

these listed are just those this weekend

Why don't you ask 'trend-spotter' Christian Gutierrez - but he's probably too busy trend-spotting -j/k-

https://www.jehovahs-witness.com/topic/4802048488898560/2017-jw-conventions

Apparently in the USA alone, there are 268 English Conventions and 213 Non-English Conventions for a total of 481 Conventions

Gayle certainly has their work cut-out.....

According to posters on reddit:

Belleville MI had approx 2400 in attendance with either 7 or 9 baptised. 3 of the baptised under 18.

Southern California Qualcomm Stadium (Spanish) had over 12,000, with 60 baptised.

These figures are an interesting metric which I find interesting. The last few years, the ratio of baptisms to attendees has been running 0.3% to 0.6%, and the numbers so far are in that range as well.

Please keep posting

Yes, dropoffyourkeelee, I follow it for the same reason. I am hoping this religion will be in serious decline by the time my kids become adults.

The numbers are consistently pretty low, so even if only 1/3 of baptisms occur at regional conventions, they would barely be covering the loss of publishers due to mortality.

Further, what little data there is on the average age of JW's shows them as now being older than the population average, and getting more so. So the general rubrick of assuming that 1% of membership is lost each year due to death, is probably too low now. My prediction is for a very slight decrease in av publishers in almost every Western country this year.
