Sal Cordova threatened with arrest and jail for attending McLean Bible Church
Sunday, October 3, 2021, I was threatened with arrest and jail after I publicly broke the story about a drastic drop in attendance which was in contrast to the official claims by MBC leadership that they are in great financial shape and "excited for where we are
and where we are going".
More details to come, but this is to make my account of the events public record and also
to because of concerns for my personal safety.

NOTES:
My home address was redacted from one of the slides
Opening Music was from Hari Sivan's youtube channel, performances of Rachmaninoff's 3rd and 2nd piano concerto:

The picture of the mostly empty sanctuary on labor day where faces were scene was from a public Facebook post, and the photo was not by me
Fairly careful counts were made of Tysons on September 12th and September 19th. September 12th was not much more than 1400. The September 12th number had a very good count of the 11AM service as good photos were taken. Report 780 11AM service with high confidence, counted 444 not so accurately for 9AM, so 500 was assigned as a conservative number for the 9AM for 1380 total. So an estimate of 1500 is used in the absence of a direct count for September.
So let's tally
Tysons 1500
Arlington 120
Prince William 266
Montgomery 500 estimate
Loudon 500 (perhaps at best)
Total 2886
Providing some allowance to be generous, I would put the number at 3200
ERRATA: the photo of Arlington is 99, not 89, I missed in the video the brown-colored rectangles when I was reading the count of the photos during the recording.
