Evolution and Homosexuality in species
by PopeOfEruke ini started wondering the other day how homosexuality could evolve in species, humans for example, assuming the main purpose of evolution and natural selection is for creatures to reproduce and pass on their genes to another generation.
obviously for natural selection to favour homosexuality there must be benefits to the species which outweigh the disadvantages of no/less reproduction patterns of homosexual members of the species.
i found an article that certainly offers some suggestions to solving the seeming "puzzle".

Publisher statistics
by Shepherd Book inevery year for at least the last half-century, the society has published statistics on the activity of jws around the world.
i am hoping someone here can provide me with that information, or can direct me as to where it can be found.
specifically, i am looking for usa-specific data: usa population (the way watchtower counts it - sans alaska and hawaii), number of publishers in the usa and number baptized in the usa.
