Comprendre les chiffres : Un regard sur les T\u00e9moins de J\u00e9hovah dans le monde<\/h2>\n

This article aims to answer common questions about the number of Jehovah's Witnesses around the world. It uses the latest available statistics to provide a clear picture. The focus here is on facts and figures, helping readers understand the group's size and how widely it is spread, without going into religious beliefs. Most of the information comes from official reports published by Jehovah's Witnesses on their website, JW.org. For a wider view, data from independent research organizations, like the Pew Research Center, is also included.<\/p>\n

One important thing to understand from the start is how Jehovah's Witnesses count their members. They mainly count \"publishers.\" Publishers are individuals who are actively involved in preaching or sharing their message. This way of counting is different from how some other religious groups might count their members, which often relies on who says they belong or who has been baptized. Knowing this helps in understanding all the numbers that follow.<\/p>\n

Quel est le nombre mondial officiel le plus r\u00e9cent des T\u00e9moins de J\u00e9hovah ?<\/h2>\n

According to the \"2024 Grand Totals\" report from their official website, JW.org, the highest number of Jehovah's Witnesses worldwide is 9,043,460<\/strong>.\u00b9 This number represents what they call \"peak publishers.\"<\/p>\n

This \"peak\" figure shows the largest count of active preachers reported at any point during their 2024 service year. This service year ran from September 1, 2023, to August 31, 2024.\u00b2 Alongside the peak number, the organization also reports the average number of publishers who preached each month. For the 2024 service year, this average was 8,828,124<\/strong>.\u00b2<\/p>\n

The term \"publishers\" is key because it refers to individuals actively sharing their faith. This is the main way the organization measures its membership. It's not just about who considers themselves a Witness who is actively taking part in their main work of preaching.\u2074<\/p>\n

The fact that the organization highlights the \"peak publishers\" number suggests they want to show the maximum level of activity reached during the year. The difference between the peak number (9,043,460) and the average number (8,828,124) is relatively small, about 2.4%. This indicates that the number of active members is generally quite steady throughout the year, though there are some ups and downs. It points to a consistent core of people actively involved each month.<\/p>\n

Here's a quick look at some key global figures for the 2024 service year:<\/p>\n

Comment les T\u00e9moins de J\u00e9hovah comptent-ils leurs membres ?<\/h2>\n

Jehovah's Witnesses count their members based on who is a \"publisher.\" A publisher is defined as someone who actively preaches what they call the \"good news of God's Kingdom.\" This group includes people who have been baptized as Jehovah's Witnesses. It also includes individuals who are not yet baptized but have been approved to take part in the preaching work.\u00b2<\/p>\n

Le processus de comptage de ces proclamateurs est tr\u00e8s d\u00e9taill\u00e9 :<\/p>\n

    \n
  • Chaque mois, chaque T\u00e9moin qui participe \u00e0 la pr\u00e9dication remplit volontairement un rapport sur son activit\u00e9. Cela peut inclure le nombre d\u2019heures pass\u00e9es \u00e0 pr\u00eacher ou le nombre d\u2019\u00e9tudes bibliques dirig\u00e9es.\u2074<\/li>\n
  • Ces rapports individuels sont collect\u00e9s par leur congr\u00e9gation locale.<\/li>\n
  • La congr\u00e9gation totalise ensuite ces chiffres et envoie un rapport r\u00e9capitulatif au bureau de la filiale locale qui supervise leur pays ou leur r\u00e9gion.<\/li>\n
  • Finally, each branch office sends the totals for its area to the world headquarters of Jehovah's Witnesses.<\/li>\n
  • The worldwide number of Witnesses is determined by adding up the peak number of publishers that each country or territory reported during the \"service year.\" The service year runs from September 1 of one year to August 31 of the next.\u2074<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    Cette m\u00e9thode de comptage est diff\u00e9rente de la fa\u00e7on dont d\u2019autres organisations religieuses ou chercheurs pourraient compter les membres. Par exemple, le Bureau du recensement des \u00c9tats-Unis, lorsqu\u2019il collectait des donn\u00e9es sur l\u2019appartenance religieuse, demandait aux gens s\u2019ils se consid\u00e9raient<\/em> to be part of a religious group. This is based on personal feeling or self-identification. In contrast, Jehovah's Witnesses count only those who are actively preaching and who report that activity.\u2074<\/p>\n

    This careful, activity-based way of counting means that the official number of Jehovah's Witnesses likely represents a core group of people who are highly involved and committed. It doesn't include people who might just casually identify with the faith but are not active. This method also points to a strong and organized system that can gather and process data from almost every congregation around the world every month.<\/p>\n

    Because reporting is voluntary, it is possible that some active individuals might occasionally forget to report or choose not to for a particular month. If this happens, the actual number of active people could be slightly higher than the official \"publisher\" count. But the organization places importance on this reporting, so it is likely that most who see themselves as active do report their activity. Therefore, the official count is generally seen as a reliable measure of signal\u00e9<\/em> l\u2019activit\u00e9.<\/p>\n

    Combien y a-t-il de congr\u00e9gations de T\u00e9moins de J\u00e9hovah dans le monde, et dans combien de pays op\u00e8rent-ils ?<\/h2>\n

    As of their 2024 Service Year Report, Jehovah's Witnesses have 118,767<\/strong> congr\u00e9gations dans le monde.\u00b2 C\u2019est une augmentation par rapport \u00e0 l\u2019ann\u00e9e pr\u00e9c\u00e9dente. Le rapport 2023 listait 118 177 congr\u00e9gations 4, ce qui signifie qu\u2019il y a eu une augmentation nette de 590 congr\u00e9gations en un an.<\/p>\n

    Jehovah's Witnesses report that their members are preaching and active in 240<\/strong> pays et territoires diff\u00e9rents.\u00b9 Ce nombre a \u00e9galement connu une l\u00e9g\u00e8re augmentation par rapport aux 239 pays rapport\u00e9s en 2023 4, sugg\u00e9rant que leurs activit\u00e9s ont \u00e9t\u00e9 lanc\u00e9es ou officiellement reconnues dans un pays ou territoire suppl\u00e9mentaire au cours de l\u2019ann\u00e9e de service 2024.<\/p>\n

    These numbers are important because they show how far-reaching Jehovah's Witnesses are and how they are organized at a local level. Having a large number of congregations means they have a widespread presence, making it easier for members and interested people to find a local meeting place.<\/p>\n

    Si nous regardons le nombre de proclamateurs par rapport au nombre de congr\u00e9gations (environ 9 043 460 proclamateurs divis\u00e9s par 118 767 congr\u00e9gations), cela donne une moyenne d\u2019environ 76 proclamateurs par congr\u00e9gation. Cela sugg\u00e8re que leurs groupes locaux sont souvent relativement petits. Des congr\u00e9gations plus petites peuvent aider \u00e0 cr\u00e9er un sentiment de communaut\u00e9 soud\u00e9e. Mais cela signifie aussi qu\u2019un grand nombre de lieux de r\u00e9union, qu\u2019ils appellent Salles du Royaume, sont n\u00e9cessaires. Les archives historiques montrent que le besoin de plus de Salles du Royaume a \u00e9t\u00e9 une partie constante de leur croissance. Par exemple, une enqu\u00eate men\u00e9e en 1998 montrait d\u00e9j\u00e0 que des milliers de Salles du Royaume suppl\u00e9mentaires \u00e9taient n\u00e9cessaires, en particulier dans les pays en d\u00e9veloppement.\u2077 Cela souligne un effort continu pour construire et entretenir les b\u00e2timents n\u00e9cessaires pour soutenir leurs nombreuses congr\u00e9gations.<\/p>\n

    Quelles sont les tendances r\u00e9centes concernant le nombre de T\u00e9moins de J\u00e9hovah ? Y a-t-il eu une croissance ?<\/h2>\n

    Yes, according to their official reports, there has been recent growth in the number of Jehovah's Witnesses. The 2024 Service Year Report indicates a augmentation de 2,4%<\/strong> du nombre maximum de proclamateurs par rapport \u00e0 l\u2019ann\u00e9e de service 2023.\u00b2<\/p>\n

    En regardant les derni\u00e8res ann\u00e9es, la tendance du nombre de proclamateurs maximums a \u00e9t\u00e9 la suivante :<\/p>\n
