under demographics, there's a sentence that says: "In 2023, Jehovah's Witnesses reported a worldwide annual increase of 1.3%". the implication from the preceding paragraph is a 1.3% increase in membership, but i think it's still ambiguous, and was wondering if someone could pls clarify, ty SmolPetra (talk) 05:56, 10 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
It does refer to an increase in membership. More specifically, it is the rate of increase in the denomination's reported average publisher figures, where 'publisher' is their term for individuals who report preaching activity and are approved by the organisation to do so.--Jeffro77Talk08:51, 12 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

In the first paragraph under "Background" I believe that the statement "the fleshly return of Jesus Christ" should be changed to something more neutral like "the physical return" or "the corporeal return". Blind-Guard04 (talk) 15:08, 24 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I asked elsewhere about the content cited to Japanese sources. There's one comment in particular I think should have greater visibility: [1] It looks like this was an internet survey instead of a criminal investigation, which would be important to clarify.
