tl;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.
I'm curious about all these Polish JWs in Scotland it would be interesting to meet some.
I think you'll find a fair number were already JWs before moving to Scotland.
And remember there's apparently meant to be a historical ongoing relationship between the two countries

apart from the interesting block color change for the title strip on the front page.... the new 2017 wt mag has some new (updated printing figures):.
2016: produced each issue: 58,987,000 available in 282 languages .
2017: produced each issue: 61,651,000 available in 294 languages.
Hi slimboyfat
I don't think they count downloads do they?
Why not? Downloads are counted as placements nowadays on the WT report form at the end of each month....
Anecdotally there are comments that they're progressively priniting less each month - yet figures above claim an annual increase - so it would kinda make sense if downloads were included (and they know which magazine issues are being downloaded - so they could do a fair estimate, but of course there will be a few publishers doing multiple downloads of the same magazine on various devices (including app)

Hi Doubting Bro
Interesting they say produced instead of printed. I wonder how much of that number includes downloads?
Yes, interesting turn of phrase....

Hi blondie
There is a KH near me that is dead center in the assigned territory but no one lives in that town. Everyone lives 30 miles on the periphery.
Haha, yeah, wouldn't be surprised if that was similiar here too, considering how sparse / spread out it looks around Cache Creek
Publishers living closer to other KH's, but travelling to support the CC congregation, but can't move themselves to nearer hall as they need to support the small CC congregation
The CC hall looks small - that's why I added the picture - so they're probably all happy to be at other halls now.

This is Cache Creek - population 1,000 - in British Columbia, in Canada - (here's looking at you steve2 )
The closest KH's are all about 85 miles away by road - four of them! - each about the same distance away
Mind you the congregation members may have all lived closer to the other KH's anyway
in the letter of 21st may 2016 the gb explain that examining the scripture and yearbook will be available at beginning in october ... .
then we are the 26 octobre 2016 ... i saw examining the scripture ... but not yet yearbook .... is the gb modifying the figure of annual report ?
or the partakers ?
Hi DesirousOfChange
Do they still give Bethelites advanced copies to send to their $upporters back home who can then brag about having their Yearbook early? . . . . Doc
I don't think so - the above worked logistically due to the time gap between the first printed copies being produced and the trucks delivering to congregations and the congregation actually having a meeting so the rank and file could get their hands on them - that could be quite a few weeks at best, a month or so at worse.
Now it's all changed due to the electronic copies being able to be made available instantaneously to everyone, worldwide thanks to the website - and actually the electronic copy must be made before it's physically printed anyway?
have 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?
.
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.....

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..."
May 21, 2016 TO ALL CONGREGATIONS - Re: Annual Items for 2017
We are pleased to inform you that electronic versions of the annual items for 2017 will be made available for download on jw.org beginning in October of this year. This includes Examining the Scriptures Daily—2017 and the 2017 Yearbook of Jehovah’s Witnesses.
