I want to be clear that I am not a member of the CoG7D although I have attended (as I have several other Sabbath keeping groups).

I remember when (someone had subscribed for me) I received the first Bible Advocate in the mail and I saw the "BA" logo in the upper left hand corner. Because I hadn't had an account there for some time why I was being sent literature from the Bank of America.

Sometimes it's wise to consider your branding....

Apparently, their website says over 300,000 people.

"The Journey" says around 400,000.

I seem to remember one article said that in India they have 209 churches. That would be more than most of the surviving Armstrongist churches have world wide. There is quite a large contingency in Mexico and South America.

Ironically, I don't have figures for North America, although one source claims that there are over 200 congregations in the United States and Canada with an estimated 11,000 members as of 2012.

Douglas, can you provide any info on CoG7s size in North America and/or in other parts of the world?

Also, for decades, HWA's application of the Sardis stigma to COG-7 stymied their growth. It caused a lot of unneedfully hurt feelings.

And they didn't sue?

What were they thinking?

The theory of church eras simply provided an opportunity to apply labels. William Miller taught that the Laodicean Era began shortly after 1844. Look at how the ACOG splinters use Laodicea to trash one another. Also, for decades, HWA's application of the Sardis stigma to COG-7 stymied their growth. It caused a lot of unneedfully hurt feelings.

Yes, and the CoG7 just happens to be around ten times larger than all the Armstrongist churches put together (not that anyone could put them together, mind you).

The CoG7 hardly ever takes any note of the Armstrongist cult. It just doesn't really exist for them.

And really, if we look at the grand scheme of things, does the Armstrongist cult really exist -- any more than a statistical anomaly?

For the most part, the world at large doesn't think so and doesn't even notice (Herbert who? Worldwide what?).

I seem to recall a story about a race between a tortoise and a hare.
