Something significant changed in the WTS in 1984... but what was it???
by Elsewhere inlooking at this chart i can't help but notice that pre-1984 the growth statistics were extremely erratic.
then, all of the sudden in 1984 the growth statistics calmed down and have ever since fallowed a much more stable trend.
it's almost a straight line after 1984.. so what happened?

in 1975 a lot of people came in with young children now these children are getting the swim by 1984 at the age of 10 to 14 years old that is my theory

<div>First I would like to thank you for all your replies.
This is really a nice group of people here better than the KH.
The reason I call myself "Not In Not Out" I was originally going to call myself "never in never out" but I was not sure how long your name could be so I shorten it up.
Anyway 1973 my mother gets baptized my father makes a comeback again and my brother is now an Elder. Even though I got baptized in 1974 I never ever really believed in the so called "TRUTH" I only did it to keep the peace and make them happy.
So basically from the day I got baptized I was never really "IN" to be "OUT".
I was basically a Quite keep to myself type of guy. I lived in my world not theirs and I just did my own thing. "Keep my Ears open and my Mouth shut".
Anyway I hope to get time to do more posting as I don't get time to be on the site a lot. 25 hours in a day would be nice.
I will make a effort to post more of my stories.</div> -

I have been lurking on and off for a year or so now so I would like to make a brief introduction.
1954 born
1962 Cuban missile crisis
1963 JFK
1964 Bingo my father and my oldest brother was in. There is about 9 years difference between me and my oldest brother and 7 years difference with my second oldest brother. My other brother never joined.
Cuban missile and JFK was what hooked my father and brother.
My father would only last a few years and then would fade out until about 1973 and then would make a comeback which would only last a few years again. But my brother climbed the JW ladder of success and was an elder by 1972.
1967 "EXPO 67 Montreal" our school had a big trip planed for students and parents that would volunteer. My mom and dad had a very big fight because my mother was going to volunteer I never got to expo 67 but this had a lot to do with my father fading out. I would be about 13 years old.
Long story short.
1973 my brother got my mom baptized and I would follow 1974 and by this time my father was all "gun ho" again. but only for a few years.
The only reason I got baptized was just to keep them happy. I never really believed all of the JW stuff but for family peace I did it.
My father was a ALCOHOLIC but never ABUSIVE verbally or otherwise. Was more of a go sit in the chair have a few drinks and then go to bed type thing. But alcohol would be part of his life until he passed away in JUNE prior to 9/11.
I would last until about 1980 then I would fade out.
None of my family would really become Fanatic over the truth. My brother only remained an elder until about 1977. So I was very fortunate that our family was never fanatic as the years would come and go.
MYSELF on the introvert-extrovert scale at the kingdom hall I would be 1 or 2,3 at the very most. Outside the kingdom hall I could be say 3 or 4 ,5 at the most. So basically I was more introvert than extrovert. At the KH if you are 6 inches they want you 12 inches, 12 inches now be 18 inches etc. etc.(MORE MORE MORE) So the most they ever got from me was 6 inches. I was just a keep to myself I don't bug you and do my own thing type of a guy. So after a few years they just GAVE UP on me.
So I am very very fortunate that I was not a victim of the witch hunt by any size shape or form. By 1980 or so I was just not on their radar anymore. But I have a lot more stories some are very funny but for now this is a brief introduction. And I will post more as time permits.
ANYWAY what programs do you people use cause I see some very fancy posting so how do you all do it. Thank you very much.
