When I was a JW doctrine and teachings were important, the joke is nowadays the JWs have been refined down to the ignorant or scared, both of which are just going through the motions, these people do not even notice new teachings such as the new aointed class bullcrap or such irregularities as the rise in partakers.
Facepalm of shame, these people haven't noticed dinosaurs or neanderthals yet, they are hardly likely to question the +/- % of mentally ill in WT land, ie consumers of red n bread.
nothing and they know it. They are split between dismissing them, and then again they can't.
Here is the Watchtower quote that the declining number of anointed was proof of being in the last days.
(W 1-15-2000 p13) Subheading “Six convincing lines of evidence [that we are in the last days]”
18 "Sixth, the number of genuine anointed disciples of Christ is dwindling, though some will evidently still be on earth when the great tribulation begins. Most of the remnant are quite elderly, and over the years the number of those who are truly anointed has been getting smaller.”
At that time (year 2000) the number of anointed (partakers of the emblems) had been declining. Now the number is increasing quickly, as shown by the Society's own count.
Yr Partakers
2000 - 8661
2001 - 8730
2002 - 8760
2003 - 8565
2004 - 8570
2005 - 8524
2006 - 8758
2007 - 9105
2008 - 9986
2009 - 10857
2010 - 11202
2011 - 11824
Lol.... that is hilarious isnt it....
I knew it was happening, but to see the numbers is quite funny. What perfect timing ! The writing staff and top dogs must know this is a MAJOR issue.
"Oh crap.... its happening again, its just like the Gen' all over again.... I still get flashbacks from that"
They need new anointed ones and the 1935 ceiling lifted in order to make room for the overlapping generations theory.
They are also including recent converts who partake out of habit because they get hit with feelings at the memorial...or at least that's how several people explained it. Nothing about mental people although the mag includes them in the higher count.
I guess the annoited are coming in from the cold. In the past they didnt celebrate at a KH and now they are joining the JW which is a good thing right ?
