And this compares the actual number (in green) with the expected number (in red). It should have been like that if all anointed would have been anointed in 1934 (as was taught until some years ago) and they were averagely distributed in age.

Thanks for the graphs processor!

The first graph really puts things in perspective and the increase began in 2006 as the Daniel book refered to the dwindling number of partakers.

I wonder if my jw brother cares or thinks about the increasing number of partakers?
