All Memorial Attendance Data from 1896 to 2016
by ILoveTTATT2 ini have made a spreadsheet of the reported number in attendance to the memorial since the first report of 13 people appeared in an 1896 watchtower.. since it can be very hard to find the numbers for the early years (anything previous to 1938), i will slowly make a note of where i found the data.some of the years i had to manually add hundreds of entries, since the wt did not provide the full number.i am building on the statistics of 1988-2013 that appeared here a while ago.soon i will be starting this but for other sets of data: # of publishers, hours, etc...here is the link: link.

Imagine Splane, ThighPantsTony 'n Co with beards! It would remind you ISIS Governing Body, or Bin Laden's birthday party!

So, how did the 'beard article' go over yesterday at your congregation?
by neat blue dog inat mine the conductor was somewhat awkward and minimal and there were nervous chuckles from the audience.
two people, including an elder, gave reasonable comments that it's okay as long as it's not extreme styles, etc.
but then another one of the elders commented that nothing has changed and they still aren't proper locally.

and no mention about the fact that you can't go on the stage with a beard in any assembly. This fact is either unknown by most JWs in the attendance eitjer totally forgotten!

I've known one with about 120 publishers and 19 elders. But 8 or 10 were more than 70. And I remember none was under 55.

I had the same history than Blondie. But it is only lasting since 2006...
I choose to marry someone I could really love for years and years, rather than marrying a clone who would answer me "jw.org" every minute of my life!
I never regretted my choice, and made everybody mad in the congregation by showing a smiling face and a true happiness with my "worldy" wife.

PRESS RELEASE: This is not over, on the contrary. I do not retract.
by sp74bb ini appreciate all the expressions of interest and solidarity.
it has been a very intense week.
i started with the help of many of you, a particular war for my rights as a european citizen.. we have achieved an important space and advertising with a single complaint, which is a great success that i share with you all.. the press has not only spoken about a single complaint, but they gave a full coverage on asocial behavior of jehovah's witnesses and the last, a very hard editorial from the newspaper el periodico director (link).

the worst think is remaining isolated to face the Borg and its millions of brainwashed adepts.
Well, you're a courageous guy, and I wish you all the best in your noble fight!
