This thought just occured to me. Since within the JW community, it is so fragmented so as to keep any one person from having the complete operating picture, what keeps the partakers number around the 8000 mark?
Could they not just as easily continue to reduce the number in a moderate way so as to keep the pressure on? After all, the annointed, in general, do not have any influence on doctrinal changes or procedure. Who would ever know?
Just a thought.

We can only guess on what they want to do with the partakers report anymore, now that that calling is still "open".
What is to say the they report the right numbers.
And what happens when some random Catholic guest, or a person in Africa, or a slew of them, partakes?
Do they get counted? Or is there a committee that says "nope, not a real Witless" or "no, not enough fieldies reported, doesn't count"?
How does that work?
