Good point Sam...I remember always getting excited to look at the new number of partakers, I think they used to have it in the yearbook each year when they listed all the publishers by country? And then I think they moved it to the Watchtower...I could be remembering wrong. 

But yes, back then the numbers were real, and now they're not.  Now they're just a bunch of crazy people.

“This I believe: That the free, exploring mind of the individual human is the most valuable thing in the world. And this I would fight for: the freedom of the mind to take any direction it wishes, undirected. And this I must fight against: any idea, religion, or government which limits or destroys the individual.”

-John Steinbeck
