    Thats interesting. I met someone from Brazil recently. I really like her. I wonder if any of her relatives are JW. She does not know that I was a JW, maybe later I will tell her at the right time.

    How about providing a valid link or ip address???

    I checked this site:

    http://www.ibge.gov.br/english/presidencia/noticias/noticia_visualiza.php?id_noticia=1766&id_pagina=1

    And this sub-graph, which though in Portugese, doesn't appear to mention Jehovah's Witnesses nor the Watchtower Society specifically.

    ftp://ftp.ibge.gov.br/Censos/Censo_Demografico_2010/Caracteristicas_Gerais_Religiao_Deficiencia/tab1_4.pdf

    Never mind.

    Found it on page 2 of the second link.
