Since the numbers are based on the calendar year and put in the yearbook, this is the most recent.http://www.watchtower.org/statistics/worldwide_report.htm
And with the lateness of the monthly reports, the yearbook 2005 may be late again. http://www.jwic.com/stat.htm

The 2004 stats are here: http://www.watchtower.org/statistics/worldwide_report.htm
Are you looking for the 9/2004 - 9/2005 numbers? I don't see those up yet.
Interestingly, they claim an overall 2% increase, but they baptized 262,416. Since they count "publishers", not baptized publishers, you can't really just add everything up, but it looks like 130,000+ left the org in 2004. Figure 1% (65,000) were DF'd, and you've still got 65,000 that just got up and left.

Well, my stats will be "not included" this year. I'm sure others more than "made up" my lack. And I do mean, "made up."
