I know of 1 that watched the video and never went back.
I think for some it was a the sum of the total or the "Last straw" if you like.

I would guess myriads - a few myriads. Maybe 20,000 or so, and mainly in Australia.
I would say that my cong in Australia is down 10 - 15% on 2 years ago.
The combination of the A.R.C, the Christian Life And Ministry Mid-Week Meetings and the launch of J.W Broadcasting television woke me up big time and I have been pretty sick since, battling with being P.I.M.O for family.
Me. It was the final nail in the coffin.
I suspect very few in the UK. I mentioned it to an elder at the time who said it was untrue and "put on by apostates".
As they say "There's none more blind than those who don't want to see"!

In the UK many have never heard of the ARC or what occurred.
I don’t know anyone here in the U.K. that has even heard of it.
Me!!! It was a huge eye-opener.
I'm in the UK and I never learned of the ARC until I left. When I was a JW I was aware that "apostates were making up lies about us having pedophiles in our organisation" and of course I dismissed these claims immediately believing that Jehovah would never allow such a thing so it can't be true.
If I mention it to witnesses today they think I'm just making it up.
