    Hint: It has something to do with the WTBTS 2000 disService Year Report.

    A big drop in "publishers" ?
    Heck, there are only around 6000 people on St Pierre et Miquelon... And they all come from France... (Catholics) How many can have become JWs ?
    2 or 3, all in one family ?

    My guess will be that these lands have the highest proportion of JWs per capita.

    Yes, they all have small populations so will register even one person being a JW as a high percentage.

    It always amazed me that they would class small islands as countries. You would get laughed out of a board room if you sent 1 rep to each of 200 islands and told the rest of the board you had achieved expansion in 200 countries.

    As my witness step dad said when he became a mini serv, if you can't survive in the business world, join politics or religion.

    Hint: These "lands" likely won't be seeing a big increase in the congregation count column in the 2001 disService Year report.

    I was going to guess they showed a percentage decrease but I happen to know other countries are decreasing.
