A great eye! So when we get to talking about Fleming's paper more (probably in the Henry Kriete Letter episode or covering the last 20 years or so), I have compiled statistics from: (1) Kelcy Hahn's former Mission Memo site: web.archive.org/web/20080423182927/www.missionmemo.org:80/stats/totalmembership.html You can find a copy of his total membership for 2003-2007 on page 9 here: www.reveal.org/library/history/icoc_30years.pdf (Mr. Hahn is one of the statisticians for the ICOC) (2) For stats from 2006 onward: 2006, 2007 both Kelcy Hahn and Disciples Today 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012 Disciples Today 2021 Disciples Today 2022 Keydogo: th-cam.com/video/4CNR2cdSQj0/w-d-xo.html 2023 Church List from Disciples Today: disciplestoday.org/church-list/ (they state January 2023) Notes: I wrote a mathematical model to interpolate for 2013-2020 membership. Somewhat relying on Mr. Hahn's information. Mr. Hahn admitted that former member statistics weren't kept for 2003 to present, although the ICOC knows the former membership in this period for North America, so I got some of that data, did a lot of asking around, and then did some calculation and estimated a very conservative estimate for number former members. For instance, in the 2003-2007 timeframe, I put down as former members only the number that the membership decreased by. This assumes there were no baptisms during 2003-2007, otherwise the number of former memberships would be increased by the number of baptisms.
How can you verify the graph of former members up to 2024? In Fleming's work, this graph only goes up to 2002

@@reveal5078 Thanks for the answer.
@@reveal5078 can you do an update video adding the number sand the RCW split... like a part 2
@@fakeqr-yw2pj Sure. I can see if Steve M., Coltin, and Michael want to do a Part 2. There's still a little bit of dust swirling.
