Reservations, you predict a single rate of decline based on a recent small set of data. It will go more like this:

If you think Watchtower is disappearing any time soon…
by Reservations inyou are sadly mistaken.. i hear people say it on here all the time, and dare i say his name *cough* lloyd evans *cough* has said it a number of times, that watchtower is running scared and watchtower is in decline….. we need to put in perspective the decrease from the 2020 report.
if we calculate a yearly -0.6 decrease over a 10 year period from 2020 figures it leaves us the grand total number of witnesses of:.
by 2030: - 7,933,479. by 2040: - 7,471,357. by 2050: - 7,036,154. i agree that this is a significant decrease, but let’s not kid ourselves, the wt organisation will still be alive and well even with an annual 0.6% loss.

by Terry invaccinations.
how many deaths were instigated which could be prevented?watchtower policies against vaccines left faithful sheep vulnerable to horrible consequences.antitoxins and vaccines against diphtheria, tetanus, anthrax, cholera, plague, typhoid, tuberculosis, and more were developed through the 1930s.. 1921 - "vaccination never prevented anything and never will, and is the most barbarous practice" - golden age oct 12, 1921, p.17.
1923 - "vaccination, summed up, is the most unhygienic, barbaric, filthy, abhorrent, and most dangerous system of infection known.

I heard a watered down version of WTS having problems with vaccinations suggesting that many of the vaccines were "cultured in blood". And this was the reason. I didn't realised the Org came out totally against vaccines historically.

No, but even on this side of the pond it's on all our minds. I came to visit ground zero when it was a building site about a decade ago. I was active on JWD at the time of 9/11, did a quick search of the site for content on the day it occurred but couldn't find much with the basic search that we have.

slimboyfat : It wasn't your post that bothered me but one that was deleted which, without explanation, listed Englishman.
Diogenesister : this database isn't kept "as a whole", I am visiting for the first time in many years and huge swathes of my posts are gone, so really nothing does last forever. On another note, when the JWs are gone completely in the future, they will be a mere footnote in a future Wikipedia when every database in the world sits on your finger tip.

About 20 years ago there was a perpetual thread going called "vincent goes underground", apparently it was about a forum member who died or committed suicide. I may have this wrong, but that was what I recall of it. Does anyone else remember that?

The offender just gone off on a "fling", I've seen it before. They did not work at the relationship, they probably won't work on their next one either. Short-term fancy over long term stability. Both men and women get sucked up into affairs like this. Seen a work colleague completely breakdown when it happened to him, left standing bemused / confused.

I didn't listen to the whole thing but what it sounds like he's doing is giving you the statistics of finding a particular word but not stating how that compares to the statistics of finding arbitrary words. There is a standard comic called Dave Gorman (I believe it was) who showed how people in the UK had found ancient "lay lines" by linking up certain stone monuments or artefacts but then went on to show that UK supermarket Lidl or Aldi stores were also apparently built all lined up with one another and although it was a comic act, you couldn't argue with it.
