    SBF: I guess it could just be a mistake.

    No it couldn't be that. The GB/FDS/WTBTS don't make mistakes.

    I wonder if they are going to start putting the graphs in logarithmic scales for the next couple of years.

    Good find dozy.

    I don't think many JW's look at this stuff in detail though. Plus they don't think!

    "just how many Scientologists are there, anyway?

    That question came up again this week when the Associated Press, reporting on an interesting development in Russia*, happened to mention that Scientology claims 10 million members worldwide.

    If that number were true, Scientology would be a little smaller than Judaism around the world, and well ahead of the Baha'i faith.

    And if you think that's true, we have a lovely bridge here in New York City that you might be interested to hear is for sale...

    Before we get to the better-documented numbers, let's deal with this incredible figure that the AP repeated in a fairly shocking case of ignorance.

    Scientology has claimed millions of members forever. But I'll never forget watching a video deposition of Heber Jentzsch† in 1999 or 2000 -- he was at the time the president of the Church of Scientology International, a figurehead position -- during which he admitted where the inflated number came from.

    When Scientology says it has millions of "members," Jentzsch admitted under oath, it is actually talking about the total number of people, since L. Ron Hubbard first came up with Dianetics in 1950, who have ever picked up a Hubbard book, or filled out a "personality test," or taken a course, or otherwise had any interaction with the organization in any way"

    “Narcissistic Supply”: “EVIDENCE THAT THE LAST NEANDRATHAL LIVED IN NEW JERESEY IN 1910”

    Actually, the real evidence is that the very last neandrathals found were in Brooklyn, New York. There’s eight of them, and they’re still living! Where’s the evidence of their authentic neandrathal classification? Easy. It comes off the presses every day.

    Good catch! The real chart looks more like a group whos growth is slowing and will eventually peak so its not surprising they would want to hide it.

    But they imagine no one will notice? Next point on the chart will be harder to hide ... maybe they actually believe that Armageddon will come and save them? !

    The points on the graph align correctly based on the selection of one point per 10 years, however it does smoothe out the problems during the 70s.

    However, annual growth rate (%) is in decline.
