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?

Memorial Attendances This Year

by steve2 in

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..."

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 )
