Hello all!
I have gotten around the compression on the WT CD, and i have been playing around a bit. What i have done is for each year between 1950-2005 i have extracted all bible citations in the WT articles on each year (about 500'000-1'000'000 quotations!) and summed them if they occured more than once. This allow me to make a graph like the following:
There are a couple of things of interest. First there seem to be an increased interest in blood around 1960. Up to 1975 there is a minimum interest in blood (allmost like they was thinking about something else, hmmm) and then a spike in the years 1976-1980 - this is a trend that persist in other verses i have analysed, where everything that has to do with control spike after 1975.
Around 1996 there is also a large interest - the same time that the article in Awake came out. It would be interesting to analyse the most recent years to see if the trend up to 2005 continue or is just a fluke.
