  Are there any stats that tell how many of those baptized ones, were a result of the preaching work? How many were children or relatives of existing JW's?

  No, but anyone can just look at the baptism candidates and see that the majority are younger ones.

  They love matt 24:14..and theN they bring up how the preaching work is more important than anything else. More important than love?

  Great question. Matt 23:35-38, John 13:34, James 1:27, 1 John 3:11-18, 21-23, 1 Cor 13:1-3 (<-- especially this one)

  "If the WTS did away with the reporting requirement, how many JW's would give up the "life-saving preaching work" altogether?

  It really is a good point!! I'm pretty sure that if the Watchtower was not monitoring the work of each JW, the amount of hours would plummet down to a fraction.

  "Approx 6648 hours.

  Last year's stats: =1,844,182,235 hours, 277,376 baptized"

  If you look at the landscape of any typical JW congregation there is usually just a handful of JWs who joined because of actual preaching work. The rest are the typical friends/family/co-worker stories. So you can be sure that you can multiply this number by 8 or 9
