The report shows a growth spurt in developed lands (eg. +3% in US, +3% Australia, +3% France, +5% in Britain)
The ‘growth’ is in comparison to last year’s decrease and in most cases the figures are actually only slightly higher (and in some cases lower) than the 2019 figures. For example, Britain’s 2021 average publishers figure is actually only 1.8% higher than the 2019 figure. Netherlands reported a 2% increase for average publishers but is actually a 2.1% decrease compared to 2019.
i have just realized that the 2021 service report figures have in fact been published.
but they are written in such a way its harder to compare.
so on the jw website, there is a tab called 'about us'.
Bear in mind that the 0.7% increase follows last year’s 0.6% decrease, so the net increase over 2019 is very small.

i saw an other thread about what the wt says who or what gog is.. my speculation is based on the following:.
in the end un will get the power for a short while, as taught in the wt literature.
this is based on revelation 17:12-14: "the ten horns that you saw mean ten kings who have not yet received a kingdom, but they do receive authority as kings for one hour with the wild beast.

Others will ignore prophecy to their detriment. I go on God's track record on prophecy and so far I am impressed. For you, wait and see.
It's always amusing when 'believers' resort to these bizarre by-proxy death threats when they can't provide any evidence for their beliefs.

Vidqun:
Compare the Ezekiel passages with Isaiah and Micah (not apocalyptic):
The phrase final part of the days simply refers to hypothetical future events. The phrase lends nothing to their credibility. It does not indicate anything that will actually happen. But even if it did, it would not mean that it referred to anything that would happen soon rather than some still distant future. (But it doesn't.)
The fact that things 'prophesied' in the Bible 'haven't happened yet' is not evidence that they will happen in the future.

You do realise, I hope, that just because someone says something is a ‘prophecy’, it doesn’t actually mean it will really happen. You still seem caught up on thinking that calling something a ‘prophecy’ means it actually has predictive power.

No. If I say the sun will turn into cheese, the fact that it hasn’t happened yet doesn’t make it a ‘prophecy’. Saying something is a ‘prediction’ is not the same as something having predictive power.
If you’re saying that all types of prediction come under the category of ‘prophecy’, then, also no. Meteorologists do not prophesy the weather.
If you’re saying that any assertion about the future is a ‘prophecy’, then, yes, but only in a pointless kind of way.
