  Mary, You wrote: "the only figure I didn't see on there is the one where it said that over all, there was only a 1.3% increase worldwide in 2005..........." Maybe they're "waiting on Jehovah" to reveal that in his "due time". . . .
  Hey! Everything we've revealed over the years . . . . maybe we're Jehovah aggregate.

  Right, I'm off to Bangladesh where there's 1 JW to 1,311,997 people... if that's not paradise on earth, then what is?
  I wonder how many people have claimed and been counted as annointed over the years... they don't seem to publish that figure!?

  The 1.3% increase is blowing my mind! These are some of the lowest numbers the organization has had in decades.
  Looking back over the past 15 years only once did the percentage fall under 2%, I think a there is a general trend starting here. The society is still getting enough people to join to make up for those are leaving or becoming inactive, but the gap is getting smaller. How many more years before a negative? Most likely it will be a while, but I think this 2005 year report is something that is really worth noting.
