Since details of the graph are badly visible: the horizontal time-line is from 1970 through 2003. The peak in the middle is 1984 (!). The vertical axis indicates the frequency: top is about 180 (in 1984), after 1999 the amount drops to less than 20.

Less emphasis on 1914?
by richard ini'm not sure if this subject has been touched before but i noticed that since the turn of the millennium, the watchtower has paid less attention to "1914".
that is to say, when checking the frequency of the term '1914' in the watchtower from 1970-2003 through the wt-library 2003, there is a notable decrease after 1999. see the attached graph.
would that be a significant development or just statistical coincidence?

Junction - (We're getting slightly off-topic). Nevertheless, it appears that some parents had a choice between being servile to the org & elders or following their own conscience. I'm glad mine did the latter. I feel sorry for those who were reared by the former.

God has forbidden to speak German in the New World because even He is unable to master the rules of nominative, dative, genetive and all the other grueling precepts of German grammar.

The Russians banned the Salvation Army as well, so I guess their wisdom is undisputed ...

thousands of kids are spared from being reared in an isolationist and dysfunctional environment and now may have the opportunity to have a normal childhood
Junction, be careful not to generalize on childhood experiences. I, for one, had a great childhood - and some of my JW friends as well - since our parents (2nd generation JWs) had found their own way in their belief and the org. Looking back, I think they were liberal JWs. Their maxim was "f**k the org & elders" and they somehow managed to have a life of their own. They let me go to college, have friends outside the org and all that. Eventually, I disagreed with the tenets of the org and left. Later, I found that many others had similar 'liberal' experiences as I had. Mind you, I am not sure if I am part of a minority who did not suffer from adverse childhood experiences. I just want to point out that they exist.

My state must have the most JW's!
by Atilla ini was thinking about this yesterday and i was thinking that my state pennsylvania must have one of the highest concentration of dubs either in real numbers or per capital.
i'm just basing this on a hunch, no data to back it up.
also, this is where russel did get his start, kinda scary.

In an article on JW child custody issues by Carolyn Wah (she is a lawyer and Associate General Counsel of the WTS) she writes:
"As of January 2001, the six states (inculding DC) with the largest ratio of Witnesses to non-Witnesses in descending order are:
OR (1:166) FL (1:178) CA (1:186) NM (1:193) DC (1:196) and WA (1:208).

How can I get a WT Library CD ROM?
by alaskagirl ini have the old '97 version but i want the most current ammo, i mean info, for when i write to my brother soon.
so does anyone know how i can get my hands on the most current version.

richard
I think the latest CD ROM has a warning message that only JWs can use it. At least that is what my JW wife told me, so you may have trouble getting it directly from a JW. I can see why, though. Lots of incriminating "old light".
Previous editions also carried this warning. They don't want outsiders to have the CD since it includes KM-editions which are considered 'members only'.
