By this point in the year the Yearbook has usually been seen by someone and the partakers figure is known. Has anyone set eyes on it yet?

If someone could post all the pages with figures that would be great.

You can download it here. What you want to know is on page 55:

Memorial partakers:

2005: 8,524 - Historical low
2006: 8,758
2007: 9,105 - This was a 3.8% increase in partakers which is greater than the 3.1% increase in JW overall!
2008: 9,986
2009: 10,857
2010: 11,202
2011: 11,824 - This is a 5.6% increase in partakers which is greater than the 2.4% increase in JW overall!

Does anyone else notice a problem with WT Theology here?

"Over the years the number of those who are truly anointed has been getting smaller." - w2000 1/15, p. 12

This reminds me of a joke:

There are three kinds of people in the world, those that are good and math and those that aren't!

Thank you 00DAD!

Amazing, it wasn't there like two hours ago!

Still reporting the partaker number...pretty surprised at that, just short of 12k!

Truly we are blessed to have nearly 1/12th of all of those ever going to heaven with us on earth today!

From page 7 -

Is it not thrilling to know that Jehovah’s servants did more in the preaching work in April than they had done in any other month in history?

I do not think thrilling is the correct word

Another very important (and encouraging) set of numbers is the total hours preached, total number baptized and the derivative hrs. preaching per convert.

It ain't looking rosey. Respectively, the numbers are:

2010 - 1,604,764,248 (hrs preaching); 294,368 (baptized); 5,452 (hrs of preaching to baptize one)

2011 - 1,707,094,710 (hrs preaching); 263,131 (baptized); 6,487 (hrs of preaching to baptize one)

So, not only there are ~11% less baptized, but the JWs had to work ~6% harder to get it done for a combined 18% decrease in efficiency!

If the sales numbers are off by 18%, you better believe that any business would immediately recognize there is trouble. The WTBTS, being one, has undoubtedly already seen that.....

Let me throw few more numbers:

Branches have decreased from 116 to 98, with the same 236 lands reporting. Hmmm, what happened to the 18 "missing" branches, their assets, buildings, accounts, etc..we all know.

And the over 100 million hours increase in total hours spent in the field..oh, my what a COLLOSAL waste of time... Can you imagine what 100 mil hours of REAL community service would do?

LostGeneration

Yep YB, a big drop in baptisms! More than 30,000 less in 2011, that is huge!

When you add in DFd, faders, and JWs that pass away they have to be looking at flat or negative growth.
