  neat blue dog: Is this some dishonest way to get around some laws, fees and/or regulations . . . Or just a really incompetent eBay seller?

  Incompetent?
  

  Looks like a book to me??

  redpilltwice: Thx, but before I choose to download, what is it about?

  You might want to try a sample copy or two using the following link which appears to give downloads for annual volumes - it looks like these are the 'earlier' files that Atlantis refers to in the OP?:

  Latest JW.org Statistics Are Confusing & Lack Context

  by steve2 in

  1. watchtower
  2. beliefs

  earlier this week a new post on this forum announced that the 2017 worldwide annual service report was available on jw.org.

  wow - that's earlier than the statistics for the 2016 service year which appeared in the 2017 yearbook last january!

  good effort, jw organization!

  steve2: new downloadable e-publication 2017 Service Year

  The version I've got just shows the Grand Totals (in the same layout/format as the previous yearbooks).

  I can see NO link to individual countries in the e-pub?

  Can you give a link please, TIA
  

  There are links to individual countries on the website, but these are currently only showing last year's figures?

  I hope when these are updated they will have a 'fuller' range of figures.
  

  https://www.jw.org/en/jehovahs-witnesses/worldwide/NZ/

  Fast Facts—New Zealand

  • 4,718,126—Population
  • 14,242—Ministers who teach the Bible
  • 186—Congregations
  • 1 to 331—Ratio of Jehovah’s Witnesses to population

  In the Yearbook, I believe the only figure provided for the previous year (for comparision) was 'Average Publishers' - and this was used to calculate the individual countries annual increase or decrease.

  The concern is what happens next year? Will the WT simply over-write this year's figures with next figures which means that the previous year's figures get 'lost'?

  The Fall Guy: Assumed
  

  "Assumed" can be a dangerous word.

  I thought the $11 million figure you quoted was for "caring for special pioneers, missionaries, and circuit overseers in their field service assignments" and NOT for the "printing, Branches" etc

  But I did not want to assume that, thus why I asked to check.

  The Fall Guy: With all their cutbacks on printing, Branches, and various other outgoings, they've only saved $11m?????

  Where does it say that?

  The only monetary figure the WT provides is the "$202 million in caring for special pioneers, missionaries, and circuit overseers in their field service assignments"

  That specifically doesn't include the "printing, Branches" etc. How did you find out the saving for the printing and Branches - a mole??
  

  TIA
