ABibleStudent, it does seem that sitting in the street and not approaching anyone has not made the preaching work any more productive than wandering around knocking at empty houses.

Heisenberg - as I mentioned, 60% of the Watchtower followers left after 1925, so I counted 60% of that number. Memorial attendance was less than 20,000 in 1928.

little-Socrates, I would estimate that there has been over 144,000 Watchtower/JW partakers.
In 1925 there were . About 60% of these people left when 1925 did not eventuate.
90,434 in 1925"
Watchtower 1960 May 1 p.282In 1935, when the doctrine changed, there were 52,000 partakers.
"Year ...... Att. ...... Part.
1935 ...... 63,146 ... 52,465"
Jehovah's Witnesses - Proclaimers of God's Kingdom p.717In 2014, there were 14,121.
Therefore 54260 (60% of 90434) plus 52,465, plus 14121 already equals 120846. That does not count all the partakers from the 1800's, and the ones between 1935 and 2014 that were not included in any of these figures and have already died.

One of my favourite figures is the new high, or should it be termed low, of 7060 hours preaching required to get 1 baptism.

Kairos here is the graph for the number that stopped publishing; that is, the difference between the number baptised and the increase in average publishers. Whilst the number was exactly 106,000, to be fair the number that died needs to be factored in, taking the amount that leave to 80,000.

One of my favourite graphs regards the declining conversion rate.
This must be what concerns the Governing Body most. This has dropped dramatically, with the Annual Number Baptised compared to Average Monthly Studies falling from a high of around 1 in 5 (22%) prior to 1975, to now a mere 1 in 33 (3%). During the 1980's and 1990's the conversion rate was consistently around 8%. This has steadily declined to less than 3% in 2014. (Please note that this is a comparative rate, not an exact one, as it is based on "average monthly Bible studies", and some Bible Studies may extend for years, whilst others for less than one year.)
Whilst the number of baptisms rises with the number of publishers, the number getting baptised each year is actually less than its peak in the 1990s.

Seriously, almost everything has a pagan origin.
There is a list of a few pagan things that JWs can and cannot do at jwfacts.com/watchtower/quotes/pagan-practices.php.

JW.ORG TRAFFIC WORTH
by @ROOT ini looked up the estimated revenue of jw.org using http://www.siteworthtraffic.com/ and was shocked at the results.
not only are they saving money on printing psychical books/magazines, but they're also making a tidy sum romtheir "free" website created and maintained by volunteers.
i spoke with a jw recently who was very proud to tell me just how good their website was and that they provided it free of charge.

Google don't pay money for when a site appears in their search results. The opposite in fact, as some of the first results and side results appear there because people pay them money for the spot. They only pay money if you place their ads on your site and then people click on the ad.
JW.org gets a huge amount of visitors, since all JWs are encouraged to visit it on a regular basis to download literature etc, a captive audience of 7 million people. That saves them the money of printing excessive literature, but it does not make them money. They also hope it will generate new forms of marketing leading to conversions, but that does not seem to have played out in any significant manner.
