Despite the restrictions, the number of Witnesses increased from fewer than 11,000 in 1967 to more than 17,000 in 1974. After nearly 30 years in Bethel service, Niki and I continue to enjoy our spiritual blessings, despite health and age limitations.
प्रतिबंधों के बावजूद, १९६७ में ११,००० से कम साक्षियों की गिनती बढ़कर १९७४ में १७,००० से ज़्यादा हो गयी ।
