i gathered the data for the memorial partakers every year since 1935 (the first year they had data) until now.. the latest figures haven't been that high since 1954!.
this stat looks very bad in watchtower land because the decreasing # of partakers was given, for decades, as proof that the end was near!.
.
I'd prefer the graph starting at zero on the Y axis.The graph like it is accentuates the rise in partakers since 2007. You can do it if you wish, I have shared the data in the link. (Just too tired to do it right now).
it seems most of the us growth is in spanish-speaking territory, and of course, there is growth in the nations where spanish is the predominant language.
most sites oriented around ttatt, are english-speaking.
there seems then to be a great need for translators...for instance, imagine if there was a spanish version of www.jwfacts.com.. unfortunately, i dont speak this language.
It shouldn't be necessary to translate the parts from a Spanish WT publication on jwfacts.I know that.
I would conrtact Paul with your ideas in a practical form.I am in constant contact with Paul. In fact, many times the English articles have been improved by my research. Things that Paul missed, things like that.
or advertise in more sitesThat site doesn't work anymore. I haven't been to the new Spanish forum, but it seems like it's single-issue, and I am already the admin of the largest Spanish exJW page on Facebook.

When Tony and Goofery got their appointments in 2005, followed by the the baby, Mark Sanderson, in 2012, the org had to come up with a way to leave the door open a crackAnd that door was officially opened in 2007. http://www.jwfacts.com/watchtower/memorial-partakers.php
look at this graph:.
it has the % difference between the peak number of publishers and the average number of publishers for that year.
this number can only be positive.. what the graph tells us is that there is a clear trend towards hunting down inactive and/or irregular publishers.
Remember also that their bar for being counted as a publisher is set pretty low. You can be in a nursing home and count 15 minutes a month or invalid and write a couple of letters an be counted as a publisher.Very true. I believe that is one way in which they have been inflating the numbers. Setting the bar lower and lower to be considered a publisher and not go "irregular".
the numbers don't lie... definitely slowing down!!.
in the 40´s the average growth per year was 20%in the 50´s it was about 10%they had four decades of solid 5% per yearnow the average for the past 16 years has been 2%.
maybe in the future it will be 1% or 0 or even negative????.
Can you imagine any other idea that is 'true' requiring that amount of time to convince just 1 person of its veracity? Or are all those 8 million odd witnesses utterly inept?Both.
