2010
Statistics of the Religious Work of Jehovah’s Witnesses in the Philippines
Here’s
the latest statistics of Jehovah’s Witnesses religious activities in the
Philippines as reflected in their website. These figures are for the year 2010
and are taken from their website except for the fourth column (RATIO). I added
this column just to have a picture of the percentage of contribution of the
Jehovah’s Witnesses in the Philippines to the worldwide work.

Notes:
1.
Obviously, there is a difference between a peak Witness and a baptized member
of the religious organization. There are 171,910 Peak Witnesses for 2010 and
the ratio of Jehovah’s Witnesses to the Philippine population is 541. With
simple arithmetic, one could calculate that the Philippine population for 2010
is 93,003,310.
2. All
indicators reflect that the contribution of Jehovah’s Witnesses in the
Philippines to the worldwide work is between 2% and 3%.
3. Jehovah’s Witnesses are really serious with
the number of hours they contribute in preaching the Word of God in their local
congregations known as the Kingdom Halls of Jehovah’s Witnesses.
