Latest Family member stats...

Family Stats Analysis, or [What Peter doesn’t tell you.]

To best understand this you will have to have [G.N.1111] and [G.N.1163] in front of you. Stats for last year and previous year.

2004 to 2005 2005 to 2006

Total membership 10,231 Total membership 9,844

[See G.N.1111 Pge.6] [See G.N.1163 Pge.6]
Subtitle’ Population’ Subtitle’ Generational status’

This constitutes a loss in population in the last year of 387, the previous year 2003 to 4 it depreciated by [422], which means in the last two years the Family population has depreciated by [809]

Add to these stats the figure of [371] babies born in the last 2 years then it’s possible that up to over a [1,000] may have left in the last 2 years. No one joined the Family to my knowledge.

Actually Peter does give the exact stats for those leaving the Family last year as follows - 143 F.D.s, 54 M.M.s and 617 F.M.rs that’s a total of 814 add to that the total 422 from previous year this means over 1,236 have left in last two years.
[See G.N 1163 Pge. 5:35]

Now the really interesting stat for the year 2005 to 2006 is this one -

2004 to 2005 2005 to 2006

First generation adults = 3,807 First generation adults = 3,117

[See G.N.1111 Pge.6] [See G.N.1163 Pge.6]
Subtitle’ Population’ Subtitle’ Generational status’

Put very simply this figure shows that last year alone 690 of the Older Generation, [almost one fifth] voted with their feet and left the Family.

The stat I couldn’t understand from Peter was how he managed to come up with the figure of 2,626 Second Generation Adults being in the Family, when last year there were less than 1,000.

Don’t take my word for it go to last years stats for the homes [G.N.1111 Page 5, subtitle homes] and get your calculator out and do some math. As you can see Peter lists all of the homes starting with there classification F.D. M.M. F.M etc. and proceeds to list the amount of adults 18 and over in the homes. Rather a lengthy procedure but if you add it all up you will come to some thing in the region of 4,429 total adults 18 and over.

Now if you turn to the next page [No.6. subtitle Population] Peter lists quite clearly the First generation population as 3,807.

So all you have to do dear brethren in this instance is subtract 3,807 F.G.A. away from 4,429 to find the figure for second generation adults 18 and over, which comes to around 622.

Even if you want to be on the very generous side of Peters stats given on page 5 there is no way you will come up with more than 1,000 Second Generation Adults.

So just where Peter came up with 2,626 second generation adults for this year [An increase of over 1,500] I don’t know.

Could it be that-?
1. He got the stats wrong last year, possible?
2. That there was last year 2000 kids in the Family 17 years old who this year automatically hit 18 and became adults?
3. Or due to the dwindling First Gen. adult stats from last year, [690 leaving] he decided to increase the adult stats by adding on kids who were still only 16 and 17 yrs old?

Fact is I am sure glad he’s not my business manager as he doesn’t know how to present stats very clearly, or could it be that he just doesn’t want to.
After all it wouldn’t make for very inspiring propaganda if he came out and said ‘By the way guys did you know 690 F.G.A.s voted with their feet and left the Family last year’. [Lets face it Peter it’s the only way people can vote in the Family, Sad].

A lot of people my dear wife included misleadingly equate speaking against Maria and Peter as being some how disloyal.
Just because you disagree with some thing dear Family members or even question some thing, does not automatically equate to some form of disloyalty. On the contrary it can and often does equate to more loyalty, and actual concern.
I guess though that’s what happens when you live under a totalitarian regime, people become afraid to speak up for fear of of reprisal. Consequently if they feel strongly about something the only option that becomes available to them is to leave.

You see Maria, Peter that’s just it people have no alternative; they either have to put up with all the crazy doctrines and beliefs or use the only vote your system presents, that of departure.
It’s very sad because as a result over the years you have probably lost some very talented, good and loyal people.
If you continue to run your organisation like that pretty soon all you will be left with is a bunch of fools and hangers on.

If you want the Family to survive renounce all False Doctrines and change the system of Government, it’s not rocket science.

P.S.
Please guys let’s not add to these figures stats such as 479 active members. No one according to these latest stats has joined in the last two years, and it’s highly unlikely that many of those active members will join. [Especially when they get to find out what the real doctrines of the Family are.]
