by bohm ini saw this on reddit:.
https://www.reddit.com/r/exjw/comments/5mlgsm/2017_yearbook_of_jehovahs_witnesses/.
overall the numbers are better than last year (1.8% growth compared to 1.5% last year -- as i predicted ;-) ) with an increase in all major figures including 1300 more congregations (i assume this is not physical kingdom halls?).

Dear Brothers:
For several years, the simplified edition of The Watchtower has been produced in French,
Italian, Portuguese, and Spanish. The Governing Body has decided that only one study edition will
be translated into these languages. Therefore, the last simplified edition in French, Italian, Portuguese, and Spanish will be the issue of May 2017. In the future, simpler language will be used in the
study edition of The Watchtower.
We send our warm Christian love.
Your brothers,

A little more "on the ground" info about Hong Kong:
All the English meetings for the week are held in a single sitting (4+ hours), so if you miss one, you miss them all. Plus, the meetings are even less intellectually stimulating than native English speaking countries.
200+ attendees, 90%+ are single Filipina (domestic live-in) helpers. WT is in Simplified English; sisters run the mics. What's absolutely insane is that these helpers only have 1 day off a week-- Sunday. How do these poor women have to spend 4+ hours of it? Sitting in some dingy KH on the 20th floor of a faceless building in HK. Oh, and more if you decide to go in the ministry after.
One would think you'd see carts set up all over the place - ferry terminals from Mainland, Macau, New Territories, MTR stations, the pedestrians bridges that criss-cross Central.
All those places are always swarming with vendors, Falun Gong, anti-Falun Gong, animal rights, Greenpeace, any cause you can think of.
How many carts has Anon seen? One, at lunchtime; and it was there for less than 2 hours.
