  Need your thoughts on the partaker numbers

  by cultswatter in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  many time this forum has solved many mysteries because we can put our collective brains together and form a so called super computer.. as you know i have been hashing the partaker numbers for over 1 year.

  hashing and rehashing, trying to make sense of it all.

  i feel the partaker numbers are grossly underreported especially since 1980. yet there are tell tale signs of the the published numbers as being authentic- a paradox .. let me refer to the partaker numbers as the "curve".. this curve shows a marked increase in partakers just after 1969 with a peak at 1975 showing the naturally expected response to the end of world prediction for 1975. so this part of the curve from 1969 to 1975 and even as late as 1977 looks very legit.

  Watchtower Value Destruction

  by WTWizard in

  creation of value is what makes society work.

  those who create value enhance life for everyone, and often make life possible.

  the assembly line, the internet, and supermarkets are all incidents where value creation has made things easier for everyone.. now, take an organization like the watchtower society.

  Why do you sign your dead body over when you go to Bethel?

  by new boy in

  1. jw
  2. experiences

  this is in response to the thread about the supposed suicide of a bethelite in 1995.. in 1970 when i went to bethel we signed a form stating that "if we died while at bethel the wathtower bible and tract society had the rights to our body.

  yes, we thought it strange at the time but as a twenty year old you didn't think much about it.. i know of two brothers who killed themselfs while at bethel and two others who tried end their lives.

  my guess is people have been killing themselfs at bethel long before i ever got there.

  Trying to pin point when the alarm bells went off

  by cultswatter in

  this is from the wt 03 2/15.

  "but what if some indidivuals who lack this call have been partaking of the memorial emblems?

  now aware that they never had the heavenly hope, surely their conscience will compel them to stop partaking.

  "But what if some indidivuals who lack this call have been partaking of the Memorial emblems? Now aware that they never had the heavenly hope, surely their conscience will compel them to stop partaking. God would not look with favor upon anyone representing himself as a person called to be a heavenly king and priest when he knew that he really did not have such a calling. (Romans 9:16; Revelation 20:6) Jehovahexecutedthe Levite Korah for presumptuously seeking the Aaronic priesthood.(Exodus 28:1; Numbers 16:4-11, 31-35) If any Christian comes to realize that he has wrongly partaken of the Memorial emblems, he or she should stop partaking and humbly pray for Jehovah's forgiveness. Psalm 19:13"

  That is a classic WTS response because the partaker numbers were/are higher than what Rutherford/Franz predicted.

  I would like to know the earliest WT mag article like the above. I know there is one in 1983 that has the Grand Discouragment Session. So I wonder if there were any WT mags before 1983 that had similar articles. I want to pinpoint just when the partaker numbers started going up. Thats right - UP. Think about it . the 1935 hard core annointed have been dying off since 1935 so naturally the partaker numbers went down. In 1950 there were 22,723 partakers and the number was still dropping fast enough to prevnt the alarm bells from going off At the same time the replacements were streaming into the org to become the next annointed. So logically there will be a particular year when the partakers numbers have a "valley" (the opposite of a peak) in the curve. So prior to this year the numbers drop then level out and then rise My approximate guess is 1980 when the curve reached it lowest point. the WTS published partaker numbers do not show this increase and I think that is why the partakers numbers are totally false especially since 1980.

  My personal proof elders are not spirit appointed

  by stillajwexelder in

  i was congregation secretary.

  all of us were against appointing a particular ms as elder despite the fact he had regular pioneered for 15 years.

  the reason was he told crude jokes and all in the congregation knew it.

I feel the partaker numbers are grossly underreported especially since 1980. Yet there are tell tale signs of the the published numbers as being authentic- a paradox ..

This curve shows a marked increase in partakers just after 1969 with a peak at 1975 showing the naturally expected response to the end of world prediction for 1975. So this part of the curve from 1969 to 1975 and even as late as 1977 looks very legit. In other words, if the numbers were totally arbitrary the responce in the curve to the 1975 prediction would not have been there. So I think the WTS has reproduced the actual numbers as per pink slips for that time period (maybe?). Then things get weird. From about 1980 onward the curve flattens out which is not what you would expect.

  There was 1 million JWs in 1963 with rapid growth after that. A certain percentage of JWs will tend to think they have the heavenly calling so the increase in partakers should be proportional to the increase in great crowd. The curve does not reflect this increase and as we all know the WTS must have underreported the numbers. I jhave done a lot of graphing of several scenarios in excel with varied results - the general conclusion being that the partakers were underreported. I still don't understand how some parts of the curve seem legit.

  Maybe some of you could enlighten?
