I counted up the Deaths/ New partakers over the 71years 1936 to 2007.
I assumed 70 as the average lifespan, which means we can reasonably expect a decline of 1.43% each year.
Those dead: 14 707 New partakers: 52 312.
Average deaths each year: 207. Average new partakers each year: 737.
This gives a combined total of Memorial partakers between 1936 - 2007 of 66 839. According to the Witchtower of 1988 15/12 there were 27 006 partakers in 1936. Smell anything yet?
1: Where those dying (3 figures) exceeded new partakers (2 or single figure) 16 years out of 71.
2: At no point did the number of deaths in a year exceed 561.
3: Lowest number of deaths 122 in 2003. Lowest number of new partakers 3 in 1988.
4: Highest deaths 561 in 1938. Highest number of new partakers 10 677 in 1937
5: Nine years where the new partakers are in four figures.
6: Of the 43 years where both deaths and new partakers are three figures new partakers are higher in 21 years. The biggest difference being 1955 where there were 231 deaths to 813 new partakers.
7: Wt own 1998 figure shows 8756 partakers, 1999 shows 8755. ONE died - yet in 1999 124 "got the call" and started taking the emblems!
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
The WT has all this information, so has to be deliberately deceitful.
For details of how I arrived at the figures see my thread "144 000 blasted by the Math (WT lying again)" posted on January 1st.
