On average, 1,187 additional Kingdom Halls are needed
each year to keep
up with current organizational growth.
I was left scratching my head at that bit as well, slimboyfat.
If on average every KH held about 70 Witnesses that would be a total of 83,090 new JW's.
And with the merging that's been going on around my area for the past few years, there's no way that an "additional" high number like that would be conceivable. They call them "additional" and not replacements--No way!
