Hmm, I personally knew one of those who just started partaking this past year. I haven't seen her in years, but found out through my mom. Born in, in her 60s now. Husband has been an elder for decades. Their only child was a JW "prodigy", and an elder, pioneer, and possibly (I don't want to say for sure without verifying) a Gilead grad. I distinctly remember nasty things being said about him when he left 'the truth' a few years back, especially since he was doing well with a good career. I guess she decided to marry Jesus to make things all better

I think that many Witnesses do not want to live in a Paradise
earth run by elders and if they have a chance to go to heaven
that they will take it.

10,857? It seems that they are supposed to be dying off? Generation is the anointed? No wonder they are changing a "generation" yet again--it is getting so keeping up with what a "generation" is impossible.
