    The report shows a growth spurt in developed lands (eg. +3% in US, +3% Australia, +3% France, +5% in Britain), but negative growth in developing countries (eg. -5% in Nigeria, -14% Central African Republic, -6% Congo, Dem. Rep, -4% Malawi, probably because of the access and cost of high-speed internet needed to witness since door-to-door ministry stopped. )

    The worldwide increase was only 0.7 percent, that's less than the average population growth! 😅

    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.

    dont get distracted by the percentages dudes. . .

    from 2019 till 2021 they a peak membership increase of only 3800 people

    from 2019 till 2021 the average membership only increased 9100

    This is after billions of hours have been expended to recruit more members and changing how they count active publishers. To top it off let's be real, most of us know in the western countries, at least, it just born ins getting baptized.

    ''from 2019 till 2021 they a peak membership increase of only 3800 people

    from 2019 till 2021 the average membership only increased 9100''

    But, still, they will boast about it as encouraging growth.

    8.6 million peak.

    I wonder how many of those are coronaviruses. They are probably more effective at preaching this rubbish than the jokehovians that are supposed to be doing it. Not to mention, most of those are insincere, doing it just because they wish to have power to ruin others' lives or because they are being forced to.
