    Looking at the percentage of average publishers of 2013 over 2012 (not the peaks):

    The top 10 increases of populous “lands”, where growth is over 1%.

    Mexico 3.58%

    Brazil 1.46%

    Nigeria 2.60%

    Philippines 3.73%

    Congo, Dem.Republic of 6.49%

    Zambia 2.06%

    Colombia 3.24%

    Venezuela 3.56%

    Peru 3.06%

    Ghana 3.79%

    Is there a need for TTATT in Spanish? Yes! But how many will have internet access?

    Populous “lands” where growth is under 1%:

    United States of America 0.99%

    Italy 0.78%

    Russia 0.87%

    Ukraine 0.26%

    Argentina 0.82%

    Britain 0.66%

    France 0.91%

    Canada 0.35%

    Spain 0.24%

    Korea, Republic of 0.30%

    The top 10 declines of populous “lands”:

    Japan -0.33% (over 100k publishers)

    Germany -0.15% (over 100k publishers)

    Poland -0.82% (over 100k publishers)

    Portugal -0.42%

    Greece -0.69%

    Puerto Rico -0.29% (I know--why this isn’t considered part of the US?)

    Hungary -0.29%

    Sweden -0.04%

    Moldova -0.82%

    Finland -0.35%

    There are many ways to slice and dice the numbers, but that was my first stab at it.

    I am actually suprised with Poland as declining, but Poland had modernized a lot and people are less religious than they were in the past. Hungary does not suprise me a bit, as JW peaked there in the 1990's as did in Czech Republic.

    Japan:

    - how back in the 1980s, this country was upheld as showing the rest of us how to do it.

    Now it is in decline.

    Shame the bloody rest of this empire founded on bull$h*t wouldn't go the same way!

    Bill.

    Japans lost tens of thousands and many congs closed down....everyone has internet there. Easy to expose Watchtower lies. Back in 1985 you had to get a copy of Ray Franz book to learn anything.

    Oh, Jehovah's blessing is evident! Many encouraging statistics! :P

    Now, I gladly see that in my country there is a substantial decrease, which means my planned fade will not be out of touch, but part of a greater tendency. Now, that's encouraging!

    I would guess then that any growth below 1% must be less than the population growth for nearly all nations.

    So all the countries listed as less than 1% are in decline for JW's numbers.

    My question too Phizzy. Also wondered about the increases. Do they exceed population growth? And do they take out the numbers that were DFd or leave them in since they were in for part of the year?
