I was simply referring to what has been stated on this thread. It was said that this is the number coming from the officials.

Ergo, the numbers may not match!

The "numbers" that are "not matching" have nothing to do with how many got out versus how many joined. The fact is, it WAS reported in numerous letters by officials that "only 16" had gotten out. I personally knew of around 30 at that time. This was BEFORE Tulsa, and BEFORE it was even POSSIBLE to join the WPF.
My point was simply that, if they can find a way to misconstrue the facts about how many got out, why should we accept at face value their assessment of how many joined?

I could be wrong (as Elder Epley and my wife claim I have been many times before) but I think if there was going to be a mass exodus from the UPC to the WWPF it would have already happened enmasse.
Having said that there is no doubt that 300-500 members, if that is what it turns out to be, is a significant number and certainly enough for them to be successful.

Thank you, CC1. I appreciate the fact that, although we disagree on much, I trust you to be honest in the way you deal with things. That means a LOT. Rather than being "agenda driven," you impress me as one who has no problem accepting facts that may not lead to the conclusions which you might prefer.
As for me posting, I honestly don't feel like I "fit" on AFF. That's not a slam, it's just an opinion. I keep my membership open because I feel the need to post from time to time in defense of my friends. Furthermore, on at least a couple of occasions, I myself have been the topic of discussion, and have had to post to "set the record straight." (Does anyone remember the thread that claimed that the "entire Kansas District was going to pull out?" I was District Superintendent at the time, and became quite the "party pooper" when I laid out the TRUTH.)
Thus, you probably won't be seeing a whole lot of me here. In fact, my OWN forum hasn't been seeing as much of me lately, and I DO feel like I fit there! I just haven't had the time to devote to forums and, when I do, I would prefer to discuss things rather than having to debate them OR feel like I or my friends are under attack. I think you understand.
