never a jw: But that would be missing a glaring point of the article. The JW population is shrinking while the general population is not.
It's probably all the 'need greaters' + families going back home haha - now they've gone, the JW ratio has normalised. Just because an area attracts 'need greaters' doesn't necessarily mean the JWs are particularly below ratio, often it's a matter of sparsely populated territories - especially once you leave Rapid City or Sioux Falls.

never a jw - sure I understand, but if you use the JW-to-population ration from 25 years ago, you still get a figure today of 3,135 JWs in SD.

never a jw: Agree, 330 is too small, but over 3,000 is too high. My bet is somewhere between 1K and 2K.
Why do you think that?
The article says 330, therefore most likely they've missed the last '0'.
Additionally it appears that the figure of 3,330 was actually obtained in the first place by doing the above calculation.

OrphanCrow: Are you familiar with South Dakota?
Some of the posters discussing this earlier this week apparently are actually from SD - and it seems it is a typo, with the last 0 left off by mistake, as steve2 suggests above - see:

lastmanstanding: I would not have made the connection without that info.
There's even the language dialect!!....

It has became some what notorious nowadays due to the 1930's pre-war Nazi sympathizers - and I believe one of the Nazi Youth Summer Camps was in Pennsylvania.

What is interesting to remember is that at this time the Watchtower was operating out of PENNSYLVANIA!
And Pennsylvania was full of GERMANS!
I wonder how much that effected CTR's viewpoint?
"Pennsylvania has the largest population of German-Americans in the U.S."

Why?
In your own words in your OP - you declared this would be both "scathing and very uncomfortable" to read.
Just because it has perhaps become 'scathing and very uncomfortable' to read sooner than you thought, doesn't mean it should be ignored.
hmm, it's taken the big gb a long while to approve the annual meeting to be uploaded to their beloved tv.jw.org site.
well.... from what i've read, it looks like they'll probably have to cut out a lot of embarrassing bits.
wonder how lett's "immorality ... i mean immortality" would look on an official society video?
