I don't know if the question ever got answered on this thread, and I am not about to read through more than 20 pages to find out. Therefore, if my answer is redundant, so be it.
There were more than 200 who joined at the Tulsa meeting. They have had 1-2 more applications arriving every day.
It has been the M.O. of the officials of the UPC to downplay this at every turn. First, only 16 people got out. (I personally knew almost 30!) Now, only 72 have joined. Perhaps someone needs to take a refresher course in basic math.
