Someone said 10% to 15% would be leaving, I personally see more like 20%.

Even at 10% that would be around 900 preachers (someone said their was 9,000 licensed ministers???), 15% would be over 1300!

AMAZING!

If these men have really gotten out (and i'm not doubting that they have) then it will play a major role in others that will follow. Most of these will give to IAM (like our church does) to support missions. I think the ones you mentioned along with LB, VM, and JG are the key figures. These men have great influence on the conservative base.

Amen on influence and VM carries the most of any.

The AMC has proven there is an interest among conservatives to get together. I am sure this year it will explode in number.

Surely you wouldn't even suggest that just maybe someone might just inflate numbers.
