  This year, according to the 2008 year book, there were 9,105 partakers.

  I guess now that they have permission to be annointed from the WTS they decided to jump on board.

  maybe the buzzword will change to 'the perpetual 8500' in the near future.

  I wonder if this is why they aren't studying the statistics in the WT this year, they're so used to it being 8000ish they would actually have noticed the strange increase this year.

  That's an increase of 347. Does anyone know when was the last time the memorial partakers was over 9000?

  Take a look at this thread here: Memorial Partaker totals for 72 years by request!
  According to this, it was in 1986.

  Thanks kifoy.

  And even then it was still lower than this year!

  The last time the memorial partakers was higher than this was in 1984 and there were 9,292.

  The funniest thing was that my hall chose to hide the QFR with the New Policy New Light(TM) until after the memorial.

  They had plenty of issues after the May 1st, but for some reason they didn't have that one for everyone. I asked an elder, and he said they "got lost."

  Yeah ok.

  This is the beginning of a new trend. You stop publishing previous year's figures and start disfellowshipping people for pulling out last year's actual printed figures from the official source and the year before that from the official source. Hey! A new way to do apostasy.
