Also, they don't know where Christmas Island is.
According to the map in the latest Yearbookâ˘, Christmas Island is in the Pacific Ocean. But that island (officially, Kiritimati Island) is a minor Island that is part of Kiribati.

Silly Watch Tower Society. Although in their defense, they are an American religion, so 'countries that aren't America' probably isn't their specialty.
Are they preaching in Syria? They could really use the "good news" in Syria! And I think that East Los Angeles considered a separate land also. How about Detroit? Those are some dangerous places that need the "good news".
just saying!

They did previously report 'activity' in Syria (along with various other countries they won't admit to being in). On cursory examination, 1986 seems to be the last year reported.
Detroit?! You've got to be kidding. Way too dangerous!

Without a list of what 'areas' they're referring to, it's not especially helpful. The SDA church has significantly more members than JWs, but because they are not a publishing company first (as is the JW corporation), you tend to hear less from them.

Their web page is a bit naff though. Where does one find their content in these 947 languages (more than JWs apparently)? Although having similar Adventist origins to JWs and just as ridiculous end-times beliefs, it's not as though the inaccessibility is a great loss to the world.
Semi off topic, but anytime I hear "lands" now regarding JWs, I think of Angus Stewart
Love how he cracked on the witnesses with a smirk on his face over their stupid usage of "lands"!
