Taking predictions for the 2007 memorial partakers!!

cultswatter

I'm doing this well in advance so that all the wonderful people on JWD can look back later and see just how close they were to the actual number! (It is possible the WTS might stop publishing the partaker numbers) In a few days, I will duly record the link to this thread for future reference.
Remember that there were 8524 partakers in 2005 and 8758 partakers in 2006, an increase of 234 partakers
So how many remnant will partake in 2007??
I'll start by predicting there will be 9109 partakers in 2007

This should be fun. Is their a prize for getting the the right number?
My prediction is 9,320.

I'll say a 5% increase, 8950.
Most JWs didn't get their May 1 WT until after the Memorial, and even those who did probably didn't have much chance to read or think about the QFR.
Now, the 2008 Memorial, that's when things get interesting!
I'll get an early start and say 12,000+ for 2008.

Even though it is improbable, it would be fun to see the count stay exactly the same .. 8758.

I think there will be another increase, about 300 more, so 9,100 for me

When do they usually announce the number for 2007 partakers?
