Require Brochure Internal Statistics

(or more details than you ever cared for or had time to know about it.)

Date: February 14, 2000

Subject: Brief Scriptural count of the publication entitled "What Does God Require of Us?" (1996) published by the Watchtower Bible and Tract Society of New York, Inc.

Criteria: A Word is any group of characters separated by a white space. In order to count a citation, it must be complete enough to locate the scripture in the Bible. Quotes and paraphrases are defined as residing within single or double quotes, and contain three or more words of any single scripture. Two words or less are too often coincidental with too many scriptures, however there are a few exceptions allowed, as 1) they are directly cited, 2) are sufficiently unique so as to be unquestionable. Such as John 1:1 and Luke 12:32. Block quotes or paraphrases covering more than one scripture are broken apart to count each scripture separately.

Methods used: Unix 'grep', 'awk', 'wc', 'sort', '/bin/csh' proprietary parsing script commands, and standard unix piping and redirects. Human interaction was required for determination of scriptural quotes vs. other sources, and paraphrases.

Errors: It is estimated that this report is accurate within a margin of error of <1%. If any are discovered, please reference and report such errors to either of the following (email is preferred):

Overview: In the Require brochure, of the 7,118 words, there are 749 words that are used in either a scriptural citing, direct quote, or paraphrase, resulting in 6,369 words that the writing committee had to generate. (By comparison, the Knowldege Book has a word count of 48,671 words, and 2,272 scriptures cited.)
There are 561 scriptural citings, of which 503 are unique scriptures.

1 scripture is cited 4 times. (Matthew 6:9)
11 scriptures are cited 3 times.
33 scriptures are cited 2 times.

There are 9 scriptures quoted, all of which are directly cited. All quotes are of unique scriptures.
1 scripture is paraphrased, and it is cited.

Summary: If one has appreciated the amount of labor and love that was poured into this publication as an aid in the field ministry before, this analysis can offer some extra evidence of such now. The ability to pack so much information, and as a teaching aid, yet cover the basis of the faith required to serve Jehovah appropriately into such a small, 32 page tool is quite a feat by human standards. What a great provision from Jehovah the Faithful and Discreet Slave and the What Does God Require of Us? brochure are! I'm sure you'll agree!

Subject:	Brief Scriptural count of the publication entitled "What Does God Require of Us?" (1996) published by the Watchtower Bible and Tract Society of New York, Inc.

Criteria:	A Word is any group of characters separated by a white space. In order to count a citation, it must be complete enough to locate the scripture in the Bible. Quotes and paraphrases are defined as residing within single or double quotes, and contain three or more words of any single scripture. Two words or less are too often coincidental with too many scriptures, however there are a few exceptions allowed, as 1) they are directly cited, 2) are sufficiently unique so as to be unquestionable. Such as John 1:1 and Luke 12:32. Block quotes or paraphrases covering more than one scripture are broken apart to count each scripture separately.

Methods used:	Unix 'grep', 'awk', 'wc', 'sort', '/bin/csh' proprietary parsing script commands, and standard unix piping and redirects. Human interaction was required for determination of scriptural quotes vs. other sources, and paraphrases.

Errors:	It is estimated that this report is accurate within a margin of error of <1%. If any are discovered, please reference and report such errors to either of the following (email is preferred): jschaffer.geo@yahoo.com or Joe Schaffer P.O. Box 496 Luling, TX 78648

Overview:	In the Require brochure, of the 7,118 words, there are 749 words that are used in either a scriptural citing, direct quote, or paraphrase, resulting in 6,369 words that the writing committee had to generate. (By comparison, the Knowldege Book has a word count of 48,671 words, and 2,272 scriptures cited.) There are 561 scriptural citings, of which 503 are unique scriptures. 1 scripture is cited 4 times. (Matthew 6:9) 11 scriptures are cited 3 times. 33 scriptures are cited 2 times. There are 9 scriptures quoted, all of which are directly cited. All quotes are of unique scriptures. 1 scripture is paraphrased, and it is cited.

Summary:	If one has appreciated the amount of labor and love that was poured into this publication as an aid in the field ministry before, this analysis can offer some extra evidence of such now. The ability to pack so much information, and as a teaching aid, yet cover the basis of the faith required to serve Jehovah appropriately into such a small, 32 page tool is quite a feat by human standards. What a great provision from Jehovah the Faithful and Discreet Slave and the What Does God Require of Us? brochure are! I'm sure you'll agree!
