No hacking is required to find the amount of scripture read in Catholic services:

Good Work!

This shows that the Watchtower indeed uses the Bible.....to promote itself!

Fascinating! I would be interested to know what the x-axis represents.

btt... for BiteMe.

Also, how did you manage to extract the citations?

Excellent work

Well rock my world. I love stuff like this and am so glad you took the time to do this. I will admit though that if I had my own "christian" church, I would probably use limited portions of the bible a lot more than others. So much of it is pretty tedious....oompa

Wow, that was interesting. It is kind of what I am looking for. Thank you for who ever put that together and posted it. :-)

Ps.. does anyone know where I can change my display name here? I can't find the settings to do it.

excellent chart!

Now if only we could get this down the the exact verses! Then we would see 20-40% of the Bible not even being touched.

Just wanted to add that another great study to do on JW publications is word counts

I found out some pretty crazy stuff by doing word counts in the literature. It's really easy to see that the Proclaimers book is simply ment to appear as if it is a huge book, but when you look at the word count it is actually less than books half its size (because of all the pictures). Also, the new 'Bible Teach' book is somewhere around 1/3 to 1/2 as much text as the old 'Paradise' book. Guess people don't need to learn as much these days. ;)

Lol seems this thread was resurrected..

Welcome to the board BiteMe! Glad we could help you with your question!

I have not been able to narrow the graph to individual verses because, for example, if you search for [Mat 24:14], the wt lib also lists citations like [Mat 23:6 - Mat 24:18]

Still this might give an impression.. When this thread was new someone made the very interesting observation that the top-5 chapters all have to with legitimizing and consolidating the power of the governing body.

Enjoy your time here!
