1. What is the Partridge Family Temple?

2. How many people belong to the Partridge Family Temple.

Everyone is a partridge. Every thing is partridge. Every animal, plant, and even grain of sand is a partridge. So there are trillions and trillions of Partridges. But how many people are there out there who believe in the teachings of the Partridge Family. It is hard to say for many reasons. One is that membership is kept strictly confidential. Also manytimes there are people out there who accept the teachings and say that their religion is the Partridge Family Temple, yet they never contact the temple in order to start their own Franchise. This is fine with us. One can be a partridge and never contact the Mother Shirley Temple. Another reason that it is hard to count members is that often people come and go and come back again and then leave again. But we would have to estimate that there are hundreds of hard core believers of the temple spread out all over the universe.
