"In some lands where many new disciples have been baptized, however, there has not been a corresponding increase in the number of Kingdom publishers. Of course, allowance must be made for those who died, the annual mortality rate being about 1 percent. Yet, in the last few years, quite a number have fallen away for some reason. Why?"
(The Watchtower, July 15, 1999 p.9) -

And compared to those who attended, what percentage were baptized? How many were people who have come in as adults? How many are children of adult JWs?
That number is pretty much useless for making any determinations.

It would be interesting to know how many of them were the pre or early - teen children of jws who were pressured into it. I doubt the wts would tell us, however.

It was actually 1,621 baptized.
The total attendance for all the conventions was 207,089 - the calculator says that only 0.78 percent of the attendance was baptized.

Ha ha! Omg, lol, that was funny (but worldly Andre, be careful with that, germans are a bit sore about that whole era/issue...much more than the rest of the world)...
