metatron thanks for that info.
Moxy your completely right, when a ms attendant i many times had to take count of who was there, although we aren't suppose to count those who arent aware. Well if you were there and we dead, asleep, breathing and warm you were counted. and yes they padded, my count and the count on the board seldom were the same. I remember one time counting 300 bodies exactly at the memorial and when checking the board the following meeting we had 340 plus. What a crock, i don't believe any of thier statistics especially since we were counting those that weren't to be counted in the first place and padding is lying lying lying. (that was 3 for emphasis). And what was even more dubious, was later talks about the good turn out what a crock.
One talk by the congregation secretary stated that my what a fine turn out we've had to feed at Jehovahs banquet table. We had x amount of people present and since we have x amount of publishers we have a 100% turnout. His talk sucked, was boring, snoozeville, we had x amount alright but since when were disfellowshipped ones publishers and babys and young children. Just more turds falling from the rectum circle of the elder body. adios
