    I could have posted the report earlier, but I could not find a way to reset my password. I had to create a new account. I used to log in here on and off for 10(?) years or so.

    Another spike in memorial partakers, yet again. Confusing for a JW.

    What's confusing about it? Jehovah is calling the last of His sons.

    Confusing because the WT has made it clear that these people are to be regarded as mostly crazy or liars.

    Have you seen Steven Lett on JW Broadcasting.

    Evidently(­­™) WT is right about that. Steven Lett looks effing CRAZY!

    Yes. Of course, as all despots they desire to be the exceptions to the rules.

    I don't know how a JW could comfortably show him and JW Broadcasting to a 'worldly person' and not be embarrassed. This religion they are supposed to advertise has become something to hide.

    Throw a basket on that candle, JWs.

    Showing Stephen Lett on JW.Org ,IS one of the most embarrassing things you could watch ,how could they let the average public see him,

    Keep doing it JW.Org ?

    Nevertheless, persistent increases in Memorial Partakers is a good sign.

    It's a clear example of the WT leadership not being able to get the troops in line.

    I don't know if it's a case of JWs being too dense to 'get the message' about partaking...

    Or maybe these folks just don't GAF about earning the WTs approval on this matter.

    Either way, I suspect that if these numbers don't get in line, the Tower will either have to start directly falsifying them, or stop reporting them, entirely.

    At this point, these partakers should be clocking in at ~25% (IMO) of where they are now.

    A lot of the partakers are PIMO. That is how I see it, and the WT hierarchy knows it.

    The partakers at the Memorial were supposed to be getting fewer and fewer as time went on and when I left about 27 years ago there was only about 8,000 partakers worldwide.

    And now their is over 21,000 ?

    What a joke .
