They're still working on ways to creatively interpret the data.
"While at first glance it may appear that the number of partakers is on the rise, the number of genuine anointed who partake directed by holy spirit clearly is not. Many of these new partakers were no-doubt baptised after the year 1985, and thus, were never baptized in the name of the holy spirit. How then, therefore, could they be legitimately directed by the Holy Spirit, if they were never baptized with it?"
Cue a new complex baptism arrangement with seperate instructions for 'little flock' and 'other sheep' baptisms, where nobody except relatives/close friends of the GB is granted a second-tier 'little flock' baptism.

PS: They've done stranger things, for certain.

I think the bORG should determine true partakers (saints) like the Catholic church does.
After they've died.

The yearbook comes out around February when the number of partakers is revealed. The WTS also puts the number out on their jw-media.org website about the same time.

Even if it did rise in the amount, you can be confident that the WTS. will work or spin something up
to explain it all, never under estimate what this corrupt publishing company will do
to make them appear viable and truthful in their proclamation that they are the one and only true religion on earth.
They have self mandated this proclamation and they will continue as they have had in the past to spin bible doctrines when necessary
and appropriate.

Is this a real quote?
