They will always need literature to offer door to door and with the huge volume that they distribute it increases the chances that some will read it and become witnesses, that is the gb's goal.

The printing for Awake! also went way up, it is now 51,788,000 copies per issue in 101 languages. Thus each month well over 121 million w&g magazines are being printed with more than 1.4 billion printed during the 2014 service year, the most ever.
Looks like the printing of the magazines will be increasing each year for the forseable future.

Awake! to be part of Watchtower Public Edition!
by Atlantis inthis was posted on a jw site and it would be nice if we could verify.. .. .. as of february 2015, the awake!
will come as a part of the watchtower public edition instead of as a separate magazine.
this is a huge change... with serious cost savings.

The printing per issue for Awake! has jumped up to 51,788,000 in 101 langs. Along with the printing of the Watchtower over 121 million mags are being printed monthly, thus over 1.4 billion copies were printed last year.
Looks like the printing of the w and g will be continuing to increase as the years go on.

Awake! is still a seperate magazine. It is shipped with the public Watchtower together instead of bundling two 16 page Awakes! togerther as was before. Makes sense- it is kept as a set.

From A Bublical Point Of View Did You Ever Think The Trinity Doctrine Made Sense?
by minimus ini see no logic in it.
i see what appears to be some scriptural contradictions but i see no merit in a trinitarian view of god.. .

No. I reject any form of the trinity 100%.
Now I don't believe in Jesus at all, if he even existed. He was NOT the messiah.

Could it be the number of jw under 5 million?
by Crazyguy ini was thinking about this last night, in the year book they publish the number or peak and average publishers.
as we know a publisher could simply be a child getting out in service regularly.
if two parents baptized have to small children that are publishers then they are counted as four.

Listener- which part of the annual meeting included the figures from August's report. Is it available in the talks they show from the agm on jw tv? thanks!
I also was thinking about how many adult publishers are there? I'd guess a lot of pubs are children who are forced out into fs with their parents.
I remember years ago they stated all baptized publishers are ministers. Does this include the 6 year who got baptized this summer?

They printed 108 million mags per month in 2012. If you subtract the public w and the g, it leaves over 17 million for the study edition. If g went up a lot too like the w, I'd expect about 1.5 billion mags were printed during the 2014 service year.
Since the simplified w is also in a few more languages the study edition printing must also have increased.
sir82- I'm sure the gb does want congs to decrease the amount they order. The gb looks to cut the printing budget more and more each year, so they can siphon off more money for themselves somehow.
But they want more pioneers, more pubs going door to door- then there will have to be a bigger demand for mags and lit to place at the doors.
Da.Furious- good point. A lot of people must be grabbing copies of the mags and books from those carts just to have something to look at since they are free. But the wts wants as many people as possible to be exposed to the mags so it serves its purpose.
jwfacts- good point. Each monthly issue has a larger print run as they are being used for the entire month. Still, the total monthly printing of all editions is higher now than it was when 4 issues were being placed door to door each month.
The coupon on page 16 for the Teach book indicates how eager they are to get rid of the current editions. For the past 2 years they encouraged you to download the copy from the website, now they have a coupon you can mail in for a printed copy so they can replace them with the new revised ones, which truly will contain what the Bible REALLY teaches. I guess the editions up to now don't contain what the Bible REALLY teaches after all, unless the Bible has changed its teachings! LOL!

It will be interesting to see if there were increases in pubs and pioneers.
I'm sure a lot of mags do get thrown away, of course most magazines of any kind do too, eventually.
OneEyedJoe- the figure was just the number that they print, not the number placed by publishers. I have never seen it jump up by so much in one year. Of course the gb may not be happy due to the extra expense of having to print so many more magazines.
There is also a small coupon on the back offering the Teach book. First time in 2 years they printed a coupon to send for a book instead of just downloading it at jw.org.
