That was pretty good, but i think w a little more effort and paying attention to development of material in an orderly way, that you could have put all of that spiritual swill into one sentence, for is not a flash of light in the singular state, and so would it not be fitting to make a statement in a singular sentence as well, for the....etc etc

Hello Blondie,
thanks for the figures.
The book "Jehovah's witnesses in the divine purpose " has:
(page 50) Memorial attendance - incomplete - for the year 1915 ....15,430
(page 73) " " " for the year 1918......21,274
(page 73) " "-according to a partial report - without all foreign
lands included, attendance figures were for the Memorial April 13th ,1919
a total of 17,961. " The book then adds:" ...it becomes evident that far less
than 4,000 had ceased to associate with their former faithful associates.(x)
(x) Footnote w. 1917 p.157; w. 1919 p. 151 .-
I do hope that this will be useful.
Thanks for your excellent subjects and comments.
Greetings,

Hello Blondie,
it's me again. Here are some more figures:
From the book "Jehovah's witnesses in the divine purpose"
(page 110) Report of the attendance at the annual celebration of
the Lord's evening meal:
YEAR 1922 ........................32,661 partecipating;
YEAR 1923.........................42,000 " ;
YEAR 1924........................ 62,696 " ;
YEAR 1925........................90,434 " (g)
(g) Footnote : w 1922pp. 200,201; w01923 p.218; w1924 p. 242; w 1925 p.263.-
These total attendance figures earth-wide do not count in groups of less than
20 celebrators of the Lord' s evening meal, excepting some foreign reports. "
I'm sure that these too will be of help.
Greetings, J.C.MacHislopp
Thanks all for your comments, especially Nathan's tip on the fact that counting partakers did not start until 1935. What a dropoff from 1925 to 1928. I wonder if all those had to be replaced by 1935?

Blondie,
Where did you find the numbers for 1928 on? You must have really dug through the CD-ROM. I am guessing that they were not all in the same article.
I have not installed the 2001 Library yet. I hear it is quite different. Guess I will have to check it out.
