I did a complete analysis of the partakers ( see my threads from DEC 31 07, and beginning of January 08). Narthan natas posted the figures for all years from 1935.
More people have partaken of the emblems after 1935 than in all the previous centuries if the Witchtower figures are accurate.
Why are there two figures for partakers in 1935. 88 WT gives 27 006, and WT96 52 465.
Without reading the articles again, I cannot hazard a guess why the WT did this. The obvious disregard for the RF memory is obvious.
