They appear to be instructional videos for how to fill out the forms and the procedures for handling donation receipts, billing expenses, fund transfers, etc.

Help: project to gather statistics on JW congregation finances.
by Anders Andersen inmany countries demand that charities publish a yearly summary of their finances.. where i live (netherlands), charities must publish these statements themselves, and jw do this at jw-anbi.nl.
(i'm quite certain almost no jw knows about that site btw.).
anyway i've been working on automatically harvesting data from all the congregation finance statements to gain more insight in how the borg is doing over time.. now it occured to me that i could do this analysis for more countries and get an even bigger picture.

I agree, your work to gather as many countries as possible gives a much more realistic picture of the overall increase or decline of the org.
I put together something for Australia a few months ago you are more than welcome to use:

Anyone every heard anything about your own blood?
by Tobyjones262 ini was wondering if there was any policy from the cult about your own blood in you cut your finger and put it in your mouth out of reflex ect.
what if any is the position of this?
i always thought the amount of blood is not the real issue, even a drop would be a sin?.

This was answered in a questions from readers article back in the day. Can't remember the specifics, but the example given was if your tooth was bleeding and you swallowed the blood. Basically it was not the fact that you consumed blood, but if you willingly chose to was the sin. This was an old article so it may have been updated with the invention of LED's.

JW Australian Finances
by Attewc ini imagine someone has done this already, but i couldn't find it in a search.
feel free to move to another thread if i'm posting in the wrong one.. i've been watching leah remini's scientology show (eerily very similar psychological traits to jw's) and one episode talked about how australia now requires non-profit organizations to make their finances public, so i decided to look for jw's reports.. link to jw's reports:.

Looking at the figures compared to 2017, it appears income went up 3M, but assets were down 4M which I'm guessing means they sold some properties to come up with needed cash.
According to the JW's 2018 Service report, there were 68,247 peak publishers in Australia in 2018 and $25,853,235 collected in donations. This averages out to about $32 donations per publisher each month. Up from 2017 it was about $29 per publisher each month.

Printed vs Produced
by Rattigan350 inin the january 1, 2015 watchtower it says printing each issue 52,946,000 in 228 languages semimonthly.
in that 2016 #1 issue watchtower it says produced each issue 58,987,000 in 254 languages monthly.
what is the difference between printed and produced?.
-
-
Attewc
Print = physical printed media.
Produce = available in any media format. Now they can include the digital online versions and therefore higher numbers can be reported. Prints + downloads ?
When they switched from 32 pages to 16 pages their reasoning they gave was so they "would be able to translate it into more languages". Anyone remember when that took effect ?

Here's my summary as others have mentioned (I couldn't find reports past 2014 on jw.org):
Link: 2018 Service Year Reports
- Note that Russia is not on the list since 2016 with 170k average publishers.
- JW claims 1.4% increase
- PEAK publishers increase = 1.45%
- AVG publisher increase = 1.35%
- World population increase = 1.09%
- Congregations: Mexico = 13,245 USA = 13,016 Brazil = 12,270
As mentioned before, most increases are in poorer countries, which is not a sustainable business model.
