Hmmm.
That means that the Watchtower is just keeping ahead of its averages in that country. From 1975 to 2010 they have lowered their ratio by 4 points. Not Holy Spirit spectacular, not exactly staggering, more a plodding, bureaucratic oozing forward.
It makes one think along the lines of, if they can make such minuscule gains in an Internet poor country like Zambia, what a monumental task they must face in Internet rich nations like Japan, Korea, and all the other developed countries.
I suspect that the WTBTS will always remain largely an American controlled religion , just like the Mormons , Scientologists & similar groups.
The english speaking bias & location of the world HQ will ensure that remains the case. The WTBTS have closed regional Bethels to ensure that the US grip is maintained and it would be very hard for someone from an African country to penetrate the "old boys network".
