UK: Significant donations to World Wide Work 2015-2017
by truthseeker ini'm analyzing the 221 congregations in the uk that had additional account info.. correct me if i'm wrong, but was it 2015 when the letter was read out instructing congregations to donate excess funds to the world wide work?.
the amounts donated to the world wide work are significant.

breakfast of champions: I'm most shocked that:....
Oh, they're not. I am.
I number crunched the data and devised the table myself, including the column headings etc.
I decided to go with 10ths of a percent to help give a general idea of either up-lift or down-lift.
Likewise I used both the + and the - in front to hopefully make it clearer.

thanks - yeah, seems that the 2017 Yearbook with the 2016 Service Year was the odd-one out!
I thought the WT checked this stuff 70 times or something before printing it!!!
The actual Jdub numbers and figure appear robust (ie they match up similiar year-to-year) - the only problem is the population which effects the ratio and rel-terms increase <sigh>

Phizzy: I find the figures for Ireland hard to follow, an increase in Peak Pubs, but a big increase in the ratio of general population to Pubs, which translates to a huge minus % in the last column. Would this not mean that Ireland has had a huge population increase in just one year ???
haha! thanks! they ARE hard to follow....
It appears that WT has made another typo/mistake (see notes at bottom of table regarding population of Guinea-Bissau)WT appears to have added the population of Ireland (4.75 million) with Northern Ireland (1.85 million) to make 6.6 million
WT Ireland 2016
- Population: 4,713,993
- Peak Publisher: 6,585
- Congregations: 119
WT Ireland 2017
- Population: 6,632,107
- Peak Publisher: 6,747
- Congregations: 120
The figures for Britain appear to be unaffected with the above mistake.
Until the WT updates their own figures - I'll use 4,773,095 from The World Bank
https://data.worldbank.org/indicator/SP.POP.TOTL?locations=IE
This therefore gives:Ireland 2017 CORRECTED
- Population: 4,773,095
- Peak 2016: 6,585
- Peak 2017: 6,747
- Increase: +2.5%
- 2016 Ratio: 716
- 2017 Ratio: 707
- Real Terms Increase: +1.2%
In the Grand Totals, this slightly decreases the Population, I also appear to have a mistake/typo regarding the Grand Total Ratios (excl 'Other Lands') - the 2016 ratio is 649.6 (rounded to 650) and the 2017 ratio is 648.3 (rounded to 648) - the percentage increase in real terms appears to be uneffected at +0.2%
I will be looking at editing and re-posting an updated table - I want to see first if WT are going to edit their own data with regard to Russia, Guinea-Bissau and Ireland befor I rush out another version...... -

For clarification, I thought 1.4% increase was the summarised worldwide growth in average publishers. Is that wrong? Or is it a coincidence that the increase in average publishers matches the increase in peak publishers for this year?
Year-on-year growth for Average Publishers was 1.43407% - which rounds down to 1.4%
Year-on-year growth for Peak Publishers was 1.39386% - which rounds up to 1.4%
Using Peak Publishers is not great - but the table compares like-with-like, Peak 2016-with-Peak 2017
See also my comments hereRegarding Russia see my comments here
The congregation numbers are really interesting.
I don't think you can look purely at number of congregations, you need to look as how many publishers are in each one - in the US they average 91 publishers-per-congregation.
Colombia lost 213 congregations, while growing 1.6%
In practical terms it means that the 173,802 publishers in Coloumbia have gone from an average of 67 publishers-per-congregation to 74 publishers-per-congregation.
In comparision, their 'next-door' neighbour, Venezuela, with 149,355 publishers has an average of 79 publishers-per-congregation.
The decline in Germany is quite amazing. They have lost 41 congregations in a single year, despite massive immigration to Germany over the last few years.
They still have an average of just 78 publishers-per-congregation.
South Africa lost 58 congregations. That's pretty huge.
I don't really think so - I believe South Africa was the country that was featured in the July 2017 Broadcast regarding KH seat utilization!!
See: WT VIDEOS: Merging Congregations and Seat Utilization (from Nov 2016 and July 2017)

Inactive/Inactive Publishers ... Are they all counted?
by Wild_Thing inforgive me if this specific question has been asked and answered.. the jw worldwide report includes their number of publishers, but it doesn't make a distinction between inactive, irregular, or active.
do they include everyone?
in other words, the "faders" that don't dissociate ... are they forever counted in their yearly publisher report because they are technically just an "inactive publisher"?.

WIld_Thing: Is there a Watchtower document you can point to that says that?
Yes. The following explains some background:

BUT also see the following, which explains it a bit more 'honestly' using a Watchtower article from 2011:
