Jehovah’s Witnesses spent close to one and a half billion hours in their public ministry in 2008, and a new peak was reached in attendance at their most important annual event, the commemoration of Jesus’ death. There was an 8.7-percent increase in the number of persons studying the Bible with them. This year has also seen another outstanding publishing feat; the number of languages their instructional material is available in online surpassed 375.

Wow that's over 5000 hours per new convert! At minimum wage that's an opportunity cost of $71,550 each. They must really, really care about them!

No they didn't.. that is how many hours were tallied on little pieces of paper. that is not how many hours were spent.
and how come they didn't mention the wonderful increase in memorial partakers?

The longer I am away from this organization (nine years now) the more I can see this entire premise is based on THEIR fairy tales; an odd mixture of THEIR absurd ideas and THEIR inconsistent teachings.
They have taken a infinitesmally tiny speck of truth at the very beginnings....built an entire belief system FROM that speck, embellished it, revised it, and changed it , so it is unrecognizable now....and have the nerve to call IT and THEMSELVES.....the truth.
I truly feel sorry for all those who are still trapped in the WTS mindset and being held as hostages to their unscriptural demands and their irrational fairy-tale promises of that paradise earth that will only accept OTHERS with this same blind and senseless mentality.

I think the WT's statistics are about as reliable as Bernard Madoff's investment advice. No one is auditing this information, and I think the WT lies to keep the pigeons they enslave from learning the real truth, which is that they are experiencing financial stress based on a decline in the number of suckers who will buy their bs.
