  Nathan is correct. The 7000 predates Russell and was picked up from the Adventists, who got it from previous writers going back at least into the Middle ages

  Watchtower crackdown on anointed expansion - are they reaching for a solution to the expanding numbers problem?

  if this has been discussed i missed it.

  i think the january study watchtower is a concerted attempt to reduce the numbers claiming to be anointed.

  but i love the sneaky way they go about it this time.

  Maybe they'll start to believe in reincarnation to explain how the anointed just keep coming and going.

  Thanks for making this available Dave,

  I made a pivot table from the data and assigned approximate locations. Here is the result:

  
  

  A couple caveats and words of explanation. Mexico is grouped with Hispanic &So America. The population of the 30 other lands is inferred to be 2 billion, since the WT chart leaves it blank and the world population is 7.3 billion.

  I have found the issue is in the two files Yearbook Stats and Yearbook Stats by Field referenced in the OP. Now I am not sure if that is the official jw site or not. Anyway those two files (or whoever put them together) have attempted to show the different reporting changes such as when Czechoslovakia split into the Czech Republic and Slovakia. These changes are not clearly shown and causes some of the totals to differ.

  So the WT figures seem to be correct and the culprit is these two additional excel files.

  There are still huge disparities between the grand total they give and the summation of the columns above. Just one example, the Memorial attendance:

  Are the banned countries included?

  
  

  Good question, The 'Other Countries' are supposedly included in the Grand Total, but it doesn't correct the summation error when you exclude the other countries.

  It's really screwy. For instance the 2014 memorial attendance Grand Total is 19,950,019, but when you add the column it comes to 20,000,549. The figure in the 'Other countries' is 67,963. So even if they excluded the other countries from the published grand total, the number still is not correct. This is the case for every column.

  I'm beginning to understand why the WT is in such financial difficulties if their math people are so inept.
