in the last day or so, the 2015 yearbook of jehovah's witnesses has been available on jw.org.
broadly speaking, results are pretty ho-hum - except to note a huge increase in memorial attendances for 2014, but still shy of 20 million.
this is a big increase over the previous all-time-high year of 2011 by several hundred thousand.
@banana what are you trying to tell me?
the population of Japan is shrinking rapidly (since 2007) and so is the number of JW's since the group is a reflection of the demographics seen in society
see this chart that shows the decline of the japanese population and future projection
hi simon, i can't send any pm's thru the sites email system.. please help!.
kim.
the decrease of poland is because people from that country migrate to other european countries in large numbers.
The Japanese decrease simply has to do with demographic causes the population of Japan is shrinking rapidly since 2007. The number of Jehovahs witnesses is decreasing there because they are, as any other group, a reflection of their society.
The majority of japanese people are aging now.
see here the development of the total population of Japan and future projection
i was reading on a european ex jw forum where some feel that watchtower's railing against higher education is primarily for north america issue.
this is due that many in usa and canada leave home to leave on campus.
it was mentioned that many young european jw attend universities and its not frowned on.. i found this odd because i heard what morris and losch said about education in italy.

Educational systems and job opportunities differ per country. So local circumstances play a role in the decisions whether it is wise to follow higher education or not.
For example in europe there are no job offers in the building and construction business, since they have a real estate crisis since 2008. In some countries there are no job offers for low skilled people.
In the country where i live a lot of the JW's go to universities or other forms of higher education
in the past week, i have heard from a number of friends scattered all over the place.
a number of them are very upset over the congregation being required, to send in all monies over $4,000.
a number of these were kh's that were saving to buy land, and or build new kh's.
@DOC if you have these arangements in black and white on paper .
By the way. In our KHall certain people (those who made large donations for a local project) were asked last year if they were ok with transferring the money to Brooklyn.
None of them objected.
@Marina my pleasure

people that donated money for new kingdom halls can be happy.. their money will be well spent. 14,000 Kingdom Halls will be built or renovated in the near future, even in countries were people have no money
it's more joyful to give than to receive. A true lover and worshipper of Jehovah would be happy that his money is being used for the worldwide brotherhood and building projects all over the world.
