Publishers down in nearly all the developed countries, Publishers up in poorer countries (Congo up 8% !)
Meanwhile the number of special fulltime servants is up 5% and the cost to support them is up 5.7%.
Overall, this is the worst annual report in recent memory.
edited to add: Total Memorial Attendance down 7.7%. wow
Memorial partakers up.
That makes sense. After seeing those numbers, I bet a lot of JWs need a drink.
This comment from Reddit was interesting. They reported 119,297 congregations last year (2021).
Editing to say, Wow!!! 2022 report shows 117,960 total congregations! A 1,337 congregation decrease!!! The GB spew absolute bullshit and lies in the recent GB and broadcast updates when they talk about “needing to build new halls”.
It's a fake report so in reality it is far more down.

The WTBTS has given the exJW community a great deal to be greatful for. This 2022 Service Year Report is like a huge buffet...a huge lunch wagon...a huge cafeteria to feast on for months & months to come!
Wow. Much poorer than expected. Good luck with those motivational comments at the meeting in February when reviewing the stats. 🤣
no doubt the positive spin will be the love of the greater number is cooling off.
It's a fake report so in reality it is far more down
That wouldn`t surprise me in the least .But even so, they will try to spin this report as best they can saying something like ,well in the last days ridiculers will come with their ridicule and distort the truth wherever they can.Knowing they have a short period of time left .

the obvious thing I expect them to say is to blame it on Covid, which might actually make sense up to a point. Too bad they will never admit that they have directly caused deaths by recommending vaccination, they will ignore this and in the future they will wash their hands saying "Some had understood that..."
