Template:JWStatistics/doc

The JWStatistics template provides statistics about Jehovah's Witnesses as provided by the Watch Tower Society.

Parameters
The template takes one mandatory parameter and one optional parameter.

The required parameter is the type of information to be returned, and must be one of the following:


 * branches - number of branch offices
 * lands - number of 'lands' reported
 * congregations - number of congregations worldwide
 * memorial - number who attended the memorial
 * partakers - number of memorial partakers
 * peak - peak of number reporting preaching activity
 * publishers - average number reporting preaching activity (this is the more reliable number per Watch Tower Society sources)
 * increase - the percentage increase over the previous year
 * baptized - the number of new baptized members
 * pioneers - the number of members reporting as 'pioneers'
 * auxiliary - the number of members reporting as 'auxiliary pioneers'
 * hours - the number of hours of preaching reported worldwide
 * studies - the number of Bible studies reported worldwide (including Bible studies conducted by members with their children)

The optional parameter is "approx", and will show an approximate figure instead of the exact figure.

Examples:
 * produces "".
 * produces "".
