Hi Igzy,
Good to see you.
If Tomes had a decline trend, a flat trend, or a rising trend for that same period we could debate the correlation. In Tomes' case there is no trend to debate.... only a blank. Using Tome's methodology with his own Google Trend stats one could argue that there is not a decline in interest in Tome's material but no interest at all... were we to adopt the same credence and logic that Tomes uses against Witness Lee.

Greetings
Cassidy, I was pleasantly surprised to "see" you here again.
Your Google Trends spoof is cute. Mr Tomes might get a good chuckle out of it (that is, if he comes around here to see our discussions).
But as others have already pointed out, and as you well know, there is a well-established (albeit small) organization called the Lord's Recovery, aka the local churches, which actively recruits and promotes itself as an organization. As soon as you start seeing tables set up for "Tomes Christian Students" or "Tomes for the Age Campus Club" -- whether at Harvard or at Cal State-Fullerton -- then the comparison may hold some water.
