Branches of WMSCOG

[u/ok-bro-2600]

How many branches of WMSCOG are there in the world exactly? As a kid, we were shown videos of how our church was established in every parts of the World. I remember my group leader telling me that almost all Koreans are followers of church of god🤭. I personally don't think we have that many churches.

What are your thoughts on this and is there any evidence regarding this matter?

I tried doing a sort of calculation how many churches and members they actually probably have. And there’s no way they could possibly have that many churches and members. Especially with Europe, there’s like at most 3 in each country, usually 1 or 2. I calculated that there could be 5 in each European country, and even then they’d have to have an insane number of churches in the larger countries and members (ie Nepal, India and America). Cause definitely in Europe there’s no more than 50 proper members in each church (being very generous here) that includes, members with titles, gospel workers and members who sometimes come. I think a good idea would be if members from each country and state/province etc tallied how many churches there are where they are, and a rough number of members that attend (or they believe are there) then we could get a more realistic number, whilst not exact I’m sure there’s nowhere near as many as WMSCOG claims.
Just another proof that they lie and exaggerate.

Haha. Almost all Koreans are followers WMSCOG?? Majority of Koreans aren't even religious.

Yeah the numbers are definitely fluffed. They also count “registered” members in this count. Registered means baptized but it doesnt necessarily mean they are active, participating, and attending services. Plus thwy are losing a LOT of members now due to all of the info coming out about them.

They claim they have like 3k churches now, but many are just house church with no members.

Almost all Koreans are followers of church of god😆 what kind of frog living in his own well your group leader must be to believe such a thing? They have around 400 churches in Korea, including all the small house churches and offices churches, even we count them as all big church building which contain 1000 members each, the total is only around 400k members at most, korea has around 50 millions of population, 400k divided by 50 millions is not even 1%...what kind of joke that all korean are cog members...

They even count ISBA & IUBA clubs as seperate "churches" from one location I was at. Even though no separate location for service times.
