These are the worldwide percentages of Jehovah´s Witnesses and where they live. A whopping 50% live in the Americas, and a whopping 35% live in the US, or Mexico, or Brazil. (The percentages shown on the right pie graph are of the worldwide total, so if it says 15% for the US it means that 15% of all JW´s worldwide live in the US, not 15% of the ones that live in the Americas).
What do you think of this graph?
Cool
I think it would be useful to somehow find a simple way to compare the significant disparity of JW-to-population ratios (and bible studies) between the continents.
The WT appears to provide the base information needed in the year books....
For example the data below is from the 2017 Year Book, pages 47 to 76 - "Preaching and Teaching Earth Wide"
interesting---that shows european publishers have about half a bible study each.
how do you have half a bible study ? what do you do with the rest of the time ?
Maybe they're with dwarves?
Where do Jehovah´s Witnesses Live?
The tiny ones live among stalks of broccoli.
They`re the ones who preach to dwarves.
what do you do with the rest of the time ?
The obvious answer is that Europeans, as a whole, on average spend less time in the ministry than their counterparts in other parts of the world.
how do you have half a bible study ? what do you do with the rest of the time ? - half the time is spent going through the What Can The Bible Teach Us? book.
The rest of the time is spent doing worldly things like smoking, swearing, celebrating birthdays and drinking chicken's blood.

Here's a quick chart - looking at countries with 50 thousand or more JWs
Average hours of ministry per month for ALL JWs in each country:
do those average hours figures include pioneers ? i doubt if many in the UK get 10 hours in.
do those average hours figures include pioneer?
Yes, that's why I was very specific in saying 'ALL' JWs
The R&F will be lower, but I believe the above averages give a good overall impression of how much ministry is being done in a comparative way between countries - Europe generally has lower hours than elsewhere, which was my original point
Remember this discussion is related to the number of bible studies conducted - and that number includes studies conducted by R&F, aux pio, reg pio etc.
