    To get about 30,000 people baptized during the service year the dubs need to dunk about 2,500 people a month. I've been following their dunking numbers with the kms and they are about on, maybe a little low. I've also noticed that the overall number of U.S. dubs isn't really increasing too much even with the new dunkees. I am interested in following this to see if the average pub. will ever break the million mark (so far only the peak has done so).

    Does anyone have a chart that they can post or IM me that lists the U.S. publisher dunkee amount on a monthly basis?

    Im not that ambitious, but back when I was I did a comparison betwixt the monthy numbers baptisms and the yearly number and they never matched. I wonder why...

    The WT lies about it's doctrine to it's followers - why should it tell the truth about it's numbers?

    There are generally high numbers of baptisms in June and July because of the DC's. So, they could be lower in the winter months and then have a few good months to keep the average up.

    The latest year I can do is 2000, from the KM's on the CD-Rom I have.
