Lifeisgood, first of all welcome!
It's pretty much a given that the the wtbs purposely distorts the number of most things ... so why would this be a surprise? And why would you care at this point? The diminishing # of 'annointeds' was one of the absolute ways we knew armageddon would be here any minute! Since 1935 got flushed down the toilet ... well now what are they thinking?
For the record, in over 45 years I v'e met only about 4 annointed(so called) !
