Yah, Thats why I said "in the US"
I don't know how patriotic the rest of the world is. But I would imgine the rest of the world would have at least a percentage of citizens who may feel simular. This did have an effect on everyone. Not just the US.
And then again maybe noone will think about it.
I guess will find out soon enough.
I was not invited this year for the first time in many so I imagine II will see a few supprised or maybe even shocked faces.
Yep i'm goin.

I think they are headed for just a minor increase in the statistics.
So many that used to go just for the memorial to keep family members happy are starting to question the benefits to even doing that.
At the same time there appears to be more of an effort to "reactivate" those who used to be associated.

I wonder if the number of partakers will finally show a decline.
I'll guess 14.8 million total attendance.
And my personal forecast: Another Memorial wondering why a meeting that is given such importance always ends up leaving me feeling disappointed. So much buildup, and all we do is hear a talk and pass emblems around. I haven't seen a partaker in years.
Hiya Greven, I see you're a StarCraft fan?
US up, UK down, Oz down too.

I will not be going. Why should I be counted in their figures? I want nothing to do with making the B'stards look good.
If you don't believe anymore don't go, if this message gets through then maybe attendance will fall this year.
I have long suspected that they may inflate their attendance numbers. I am certain that they inflated numbers at my old congregation on occasion.
I hope dateline comes on with the pedophilia info, a day before that date. Would that make a difference in attendance?
