8/1/04 WT 25,618,000
8/8/04 Awake 22,530,000
This info isn't posted for each magazine in the WT-CD but I will see if something general is for
Remember that 6.5 million are automatically accounted for by going to active JWs
Memoral attendance is 16 million, so I say subtract that leaving 9 million to toss in laundromats, hospital lobbies and to pile up in closets and drawers and basements.

And how many of those end up in the trash? I know all those I couldn't place (thousands over the years) ended up there. Maybe I was just a bad salesperson?

I see that Blondie has found quite a lot of good info...
I always thought that they were required to publish - annually - their statistics in each magazine - since they were a magazine publisher... (was it a postal requirement or something?)
Anyway... if memory serves correctly - they used to have the annual breakdown of how many subscriptions, vs 'extra' vs throw-aways... well... I don't recall the 'official' terms - but that's what it amounted to.
Interesting that their 'Awake' is only published in about 1/2 as many languages as the Watchtower. I guess some information is only regional, perhaps, and does not have any meaning - or does not 'translate' to other cultures?
Regards,
Jim TX

If you had paid more attention at the sales rallies (read: meetings), made more sales calls (read: service), applied sales techniques at appropriate points (read: talking points and scriptures) and closed the sale at the right time (read: cough up the dough Mac or God will kill you), you could have generated more income for the publishing house (read: the Society).
For shame (read: good for you!!!)

Yes, they still do, Jim, I'm jus damned if I'm going to get out my bound volumes stored in the basement to find that sheet. It doesn't get on the CD. Needless to say that the vast majority are "placed" with JWs and unbaptized minor family members, the next chunk sit in the closet, and about 2% end up in doors, under mats, in laundromats, hospital/nursing home lobbies and if left with a non-JW 90% end up in the trash and 10% lie in a pile.

Years ago, as the ass't literature servant, I was assigned a part on the sm about an advisement from the WTS to revisit the amount of lit that we ordered, to make sure that we were using the lit efficiently (and not just piling it up on our closet shelves, etc.)
I used myself as an example, and admitted that I had a couple hundred mags "in storage," and suggested that we consider reducing our orders.
Well, that didn't fly well at all! The po got on the stage right after me, and proceeded to unsay everything I'd said, and that the real solution was to get out in service more and place that lit.
Needless to say (there's a WTism for ya LOL ), I was soon reassigned to be an attendant.

My wife was upset about the HUGE number of mags that had piled up in the basement and the need to take them to be recycled (can't put them in the trash in Canada) I suggested that instead she should talk to the PO about a "special service day" where all the dubs could collect their old mags and just leave one at each doorstep. It would get their mag average up and would no doubt impress the CO when next he visited.
For some reason she got grumpy with me about even suggesting this idea....Oh Well

our co had all the congo in the circuit do a followup on our mag useage as a congo and it was like 2000 taken in and only about 1100 placed which means over 10,000 mags a yr were sitting around in folks home over 10,000 mags IN JUST OUR CONGO ALONe
multiply that by 20 congos and you are looking at 200,000 in just ONE CIRCUIT- NOW DO THE MATH for multiple circuits
but this is the point folks, since the wt bills for all 2000 each month and they are paid off, what you do with the mags at that point is on you-
the wt is much like AMWAY- it's members buy the bulk of thier products-
consider that the avg pub picks up 4 mags- 6,mill folks gives you 24-mill mags- so they have a BUILT IN CONSUMER BASE,
and for this reason wt has no intentions of getting the latest mags up on the net for easy reading
