As keinlezard has reminded us, the YEARBOOK for 2017 should be released in October, and it normally has all the Memorial figures listed in it.....

Memorial Attendances This Year
by steve2 inhave attendance figures at this year's memorial been released yet, including number of partakers?
sometimes the kingdom ministry (now called christian life and ministry) provided local figures say for the country.. for two to three years the worldwide figure has hovered around the 19 plus million, with a drop off in attendance last year.. just wondered if there has been any change this year or if the downward trend has continued?

Well remembered!
And fascinating - normally the YB is only released over the new year - though the wording WT has used is slightly ambiguous: "made available... beginning in October. This includes..."

Error on my part: I had assumed this was referring to Norfolk Island not Norfolk County. The figures I provided were for Norfolk Island.
haha - that's cool

1998: 13 active Witnesses, 1 baptism, 30 memorial attendance;
2008: 8 active Witnesses, 0 baptisms, 12 memorial attendance;
2015: 6 active Witnesses, 0 baptisms, 19 memorial attendance.Six active Witlessnesses, I mean at the WT study, 1 contacting the study, 1 reading and 2 on mics, it doesn't leave many to comment.
Where did you manage to get the figures from?
(oh, and I suspect that most people don't need a microphone to be heard by five other people )

HELP needed from folks in UK, esp. in Scotland!
by WTS Archive intl;dr: if you live either in scotland or in other parts of uk and you don't mind traveling, you might be able to help a fellow ex-jw by being present during a courtcase where she alone has to face more than two dozens of jws who have ruined their business.
please contact me directly for details on when and where the court case will be held (i will know these details in few days probably).
ps.

Oh! this could get interesting
But first, here's Rab C. Nesbitt, because, well, it's Scotland, so why not?

As with the last time pleas were made on this board to support an ex-Witness in civil dispute with the organisation/individual Witnesses there is lots of hearsay and very little verifiable fact.
Working on the assumption that, as this Polish lady is going to court, she has all her papers in order - ie health and safety for the hotel and all the employment contracts in place with all taxes including national insurance, PAYE and whatnot being done all above board.
I think there are two little words missing from the story.
Oh, and I wonder if she got copy approval for that newspaper article?
Now, I'm only a lay person, but the two, ever so slightly controversial little words are....
ZERO HOURS
A 'zero hours' contract is often used in the hotel business - and when used properly it can work well, to the benefit of all, as it provides flexibility to fit in with demand (ie room occupancy etc) and makes a bit more sense of the 24 people being used if they're all part-time on shifts (fitting in with pioneering etc)
Anyway, Wikipedia describes it this way: "A zero-hour contract is a type of contract between an employer and a worker, where the employer is not obliged to provide any minimum working hours, while the worker is not obliged to accept any work offered."
BTW I underlined that last bit, but I'm sure everyone gets the principle? I suspect the Polish lady was using Zero Hours for all her staff and basically, got caught out.
Zero Hours is controversial because it can very easily be misused - there are campaigns against it's use

So, oh yes! this could get really interesting...
