    Is there a JW source for that 10,857 number?


    Looks like the audio to the 2010 yearbook of Jehovah's Witnesses is out on jw.org.

    From the drop down box in the below link select the yearbook - not sure if the anointed figure is given as have not listened to the audio yet....

    Hi, Mad Sweeney.

    Is there a JW source for that 10,857 number? Who made the chart in your link, Possible?

    The information source of that number is "Yearbook-2010."
    It is written on the 31st page of that book.

    Since I'm a Japanese ex-Jehovah's Witness, it is difficult to show you an English information source directly.
    That information source in Japanese is here.

    In the 5th line from the top, it is written as "Memorial Partakers Worldwide: 10,857" in Japanese.
    That is, the Watch Tower society itself has described that number.

    Well, Mr. laodicea who is a Japanese active JW made that chart.
    His blog is here.

    Gosh, so it's official. An increase in partakers for the last Service Year of 8.7%, up to 10,857 from last year of 9,986!

    That's two years running with an increase of nearly 10%. The GB will be squirming at this.

    Thank you possible-san.

    The May 1, 2007 Question from Readers article re-opened the Door to Heaven. This increase is a natural result of that noolite, IMHO.

    Hi, Gayle.

    did Japan increase much? Can you give us the data breakdown for Japan?

    Sorry.
    I am an ex-Jehovah's Witness. (I left from the organization around 2003)
    So, I do not always grasp the newest information.

    Probably, if you ask in my forum, they (active JWs) will answer.

    Unless I investigate it, I cannot immediately reply to that question now.
    But, in my opinion, in Japan, their number does not increase any longer.

    possible
