    Someone just sent me a link to the 2008 Annual Report.

    Haven't read it yet.

    9,986 partakers after 9,105 last year? That's the biggest single-year increase since... well, ever.

    I bet they didn't even report all of them, trying to keep in under 10,000.

    a 2.1% increase to 6,829,455 means an increase from 6,688,986, or 140,468 publishers. If 289,678 were baptised, then 149,210 were disfellowshipped, or stopped being active. This means for every 2 coming in, 1 leaves!

    This is all on average. You know they fudge their numbers!

    I wonder why the decreases in some of the bigger countries do not have a negative percent listed. See Germany for example.

    The Society is dishonest with the numbers, imo.

    So this continues the major issue with the anointed INCREASING every year! Good! Curious how they will keep explaining this!

    So let me see if I understand this correctly.

    The average number of publishers increased 2.1%.

    The number of acknowledged partakers increased 9.677% [!]

    Giddy-Up! Thanks for posting this, Randy.

    800 new partakers! The May 1, 2007 Question from Readers did the trick. The door to Heaven is no longer closed!
