Lol 69 nearly 70 at least!
Lol yes i can agree with that...
i also agree that its indicative of nothing. The problem is we only know
our own little area. We would need a couple of pieces data to assess this with any degree of certainty. We would need to know
A) where the DA (now called RA) was held traditionally and for how long
B) where the RA is being held now and for how long
In the washington DC area nothing has changed. For the past 25 years they have used the Richmond Coliseum and still do, barring the advent of an international convention, and before that it was it the capital center. That dosent mean it hasnt changed for other areas but thats the point. Nobody has the complete picture.
There is one way, if someone were so inclined.... go to the web site and find the listing of the RA locations. Google the addresses and see how many are jw owned and how many are rented. We could then go back to an older KM or wt and pull the same information and compare. They used to print the locations, once upon a time.
That would at least confirm a trend, if one exsists. The problem for slim and the gloom and doom chorus is that it dosent matter one bit WHERE the assemblies are held, what is relevant is the attendance. There more jw’s today in the USA than there were 10 years ago. Its not collapse if your growing.
