the stats for the 2015 Service year should start trickling in before the month is over 

[rocket]

Keep in mind this is a year old Thread. We are awaiting the 2016 Yearbook.

[On the huh]

When I saw this, I was hopeing that 2015 was a typo for 2016, and the new yearbook was ready for download

Yes thats why I said   ...   

 

the stats for the 2015 Service year should start trickling in before the month is over 

 

it was @ this time (or December) last year that #s started coming in (can't find the thread)

 

...  these are some possibilities - maybe more Branch consolidation, 120K congregations, 20 Million Memorial attendance, 8.5 Million peak pubs., 1.2 Million Pioneers,  2 billion hours, 10 Million Bible Studies

[James the Less]

Peak publishers is more likely to be closer to the 8.25 million mark. We have grown on average by around 250, 000 each year for the past few years. Of course, I hope I am wrong and we have experienced even greater increase

According to Lynns first post we should be @ 2 weeks away   ...   unless someone has spotted it already?

It sure did! ... http://www.jw.org/en/publications/magazines/watchtower-no2-2016-march/why-did-jesus-die/

 

What Happened?  Last year it was 19,950,019 

 

Don't we usually have increases  ...  Have we ever had a drop like that in recent years?

Maybe the various wars prevented many interested ones from attending.

[Foxes53]

Memorial attendance doesn't always go up in a straight line every year.

Attendance for 2011 service year was 19,374,737.

Attendance for 2012 service year was 19,013,143

Different factors such as the day of the week it is scheduled can affect it

[On the huh]

Do you think it is possible that the nearer we get to the end of this system, less and less people will be interested in coming to the Memorial, not more?  I wonder that when we do finally have the last Memorial, that the only ones attending will be Jehovah's faithful servants.
