How many books were produced by Jehovah's Witnesses in 2006?

Answer 1

The Watchtower Bible and Tract Society is the publishing arm of Jehovah's Witnesses worldwide. The figures you are asking for may be impossible to obtain. The reason is that the actual figures are somewhat astronomical. In 2006, there were literally millions of bibles, magazines, tracts, books, and booklets that were printed and distributed worldwide. There are 114 branch offices worldwide that print and oversee distribution in hundreds of languages and dialects. New books are released at annual convemtions called district conventions. In 2006, there was one such book released entitled "Live With Jehovah's Day in Mind." I have no figures on the number of these books that were printed, but the previous year, the book entitled "What Does The Bible Really Teach" has had a printing of 52 million copies in 158 languages. I would say that the newer book would probably have similar figures. I am not sure if you were referring to how many diffferent books were printed or how many were the total books printed. I cannot obtain the totals, but I can provide partial information as I have it available to me at this time. Jehovah's Witnesses produce literature in 432 languages, including 141 million copies of the Bible. Braille literature is produced in 15 different braille languages, and sign language videos are produced in 26 different sign languages. The Watchtower magazine has a distribution of 28 million copies, two times at each month, in 155 languages. The Awake mgazine has an average printing each month of 34 million copies in 81 languages. There are currently 20 videos in 66 languages. In addition to this, there is millions of tracts and booklets that are distributed.
