Totals that go up are useless?

To disprove the assertion that was being refuted, YES.

As colorcountry points out in post 187, some of the data seem pretty suspicious. Since you introduced personal ancedotes, I'll use mine. I would question the exit numbers reported by the LDS Church since I know two people from wards in different states who had to hire attorneys to get their names removed from the LDS membership roles. Neither had attended LDS services for years.

Rules of evidence would preclude the entering of third hand information (OK, fine, I was just having fun)

I find this hard to believe since I have both gone to houses where people have asked to be removed with the form letter for them to sign, and processed the records in the churches computer system as a ward Clerk. (We had to flag everything and sent the documents to Salt lake.)

The computer would then show them as a "Nonmember" and still have Baptism dates etc, but would also show a date of cancellation or some such. Now if they were trying to remove their name completely from the computer, I have no idea how that would be done. I don know of people who claim to have had that done, but not of the actual event. Can you find out what they were trying to have done that required lawyers?
B BTW, the date you last attended is irrelevant.
