Elsewhere,
If they are as computer savvy as they claim, why can't they just run a quick SQL query to tally up all the numbers?
Here is one for the total number of hours:
SELECT
SUM(publisher.number_of_hours)
FROM
publisher
WHERE
publisher.status != inactive
AND publisher.status != irregular
ORDER BY
publisher.country DESC
;
Sounds like they are stalling and need to fudge the figure or perhaps need to give the lower figures the right slant and have several writters working on it.
Perhaps jehovah's speeding chariot like org has lost a wheel again. It's still riding on bronz and wood while the world floats along on pnuematic rubber radials.

I was thinking the same thing. They need more time to put a better "spin" on the numbers.

Humn, this doesn't smell good.
Could they move the end of the service year to a month later? This could boost their numbers and, with the right spin, nobody would notice....
...very fishy.
Observador.
They must be using the Ohio tallying system!!
Putting the Service Year Report into the February 1st issue will ensure that it 'goes public' slap bang in the height of the Christmas season. Just another WT tactic to obfuscate and bury unfavourable news. 'Worldly' opponents and commentators will be much less likely to feature the Watchtower report in news reports etc.
Just my two pennies worth.....
These numbers come out in the Yearbook as well. I wonder if the yearbooks are being delayed. Many JWs get them early as "gifts" from a Bethelite.

This is getting curiouser and curiouser!
They must be using the same accounting practices as Nortel Networks.....and Worldcom and Enron for that matter.
