Very cool chart. Thanks for all that work and sharing it here on JWN.
On the leavers column what math did you use to arrive at those numbers? (math never being my strong point)
Who does it include? (df'd, da'd, inactive, died, etc)
hello again folks - as promised in my last thread here, i've been working on turning yearbook statistics into excel spreadsheets.. coincidentally, today is my 25th birthday (spare a thought for a fader).. i've now updated the spreadsheet with yearbook data all the way back to 1988 (the year i was born), therefore it now contains 25 years of statistics.. there were a lot of countries changing around and for some it was possible to create a continuation of data.
some are a simple change of name like south-west africa to namibia.
others, for example - in 1993 with czechoslovakia splitting into two countries (czech republic and slovakia) i have added an extra row that provides a continuation of the data, combining czech republic and slovakia back together as if they were still one country.
Very cool chart. Thanks for all that work and sharing it here on JWN.

a huge stash of data has been released in regard to secret accounts in tax havens worldwide and it's already having effects.. in russia, putin is demanding a law that foreign accounts be forbidden or transparently explained, as to how the money was gained.. there is a report that "anonymous" has hacked and released the names of 30, 000 mossad agents around the world.. in north korea, hackers have taken control of state social media and posted pictures of kim jong un as a pig with mickey mouse tattoos.. in britain, the chancellor is being blasted for using a disabled parking space while cutting benefits for same.. in france, the government is being shaken by exposure of swiss bank accounts.. in spain, much of the government has been exposed as corrupt/bribe-taking.. in ny state, a bunch of legislators are resigning because they were exposed in bribery.. in cyprus, there is a list of 132 people who were told about the bank 'haircut' and got their money out before it hit.. there's much more....... .
something is happening behind the scenes in the world.
You're all wrong. It happened invisibily last January. Only a select few have been chosen to recognize the truth of this momentus occasion.
a trusted source informs me that the "new light" about the faithful slave is to make its first printed appearance in the july 15th watchtower, which should be available for download online three weeks from now, on around april 15th.. i'm led to believe that the references to the new understanding are made in such a manner as to suggest the "new light" isn't that new at all, which suggests to me that little or no effort is being made to explain the doctrinal connotations.
my source and i are hoping to get a key paragraph posted at the earliest opportunity.
watch this space!.
So if this explaination of the new light concludes that the FDS has no pre 1919 history than have the Apostles and so called first century GB been kicked to the curb with Russell?

space weather news for march 9, 2013. http://spaceweather.com.
bright comet: this weekend, bright comet pan-starrs is making a close approach to the sun inside the orbit of mercury where fierce solar heat is helping the comet reach naked-eye visibility.
observers in the northern hemisphere are making their first sightings now as the comet emerges from solar glare low in the western sky after sunset.
I hope the skies are clear. I just finished an astronomy class last term and really got into this stuff. Thanks!
im not talking about simply being reinstated.
i remember hearing a story about a brother that was disfellowshipped because of the testimony of two false witnesses.
years passed before they admitted to lying about the brother and was reinstated.. what is policy in this sort of situation?
They are never wrong...therefore apologies aren't necessary . It's a Holy Spirit thing you know, we wouldnt understand.
well could it be that we overlooked this little idea in our reasonings on why the governing body is comming up with new light they love the idea of?
about the f&ds?.
you know to keep any type of rebellion at bay before it starts.. have you ever woundered what many that are closely associated with the governing body are feeling about these new guys called the governing body right now with all this new light loved by the governing body,,i smell trouble a brewing for these guys right there at headquarters i'm sure thier dealing with everbody they meet they reflect this same attitude so they got to be making enemies..
It will be easier to say the 144,000 is symbolic if the FD&S is limited to a small group of men in Wallkill...or Brooklyn..or Patterson...or where ever the hell they are these days.
i was in an used bookstore this weekend and saw a new world translation and some other society publications.
this made me think, what did others do with their books?
i gave mine to my mother, 22 years ago.
Sold the ones of value on Ebay and had a ritualistic burn the night I was df'd with the rest. It was very cathartic!! Thanks for the info regarding the pioneer book! I might see if I can get some more money. I never thought it would be worth anything.
it's all over tommorow!
