Since we're on the subject of Jehovah’s Witnesses & their membership...I found these figures rather revealing:
The Jehovah’s Witnesses organization has a rather weak membership in the United States considering they're based in the U.S....of their total number of 8,424,100 worldwide a meager 1,210,950 (14%) are in the U.S. However in South America, where poverty is widespread, including Mexico there are 2,610,564 (31%) Jehovah’s Witnesses. The African Continent, considered the poorest Continent on earth, has 1,641,764 (20%) Jehovah’s Witnesses. In breaking down the percentages of Jehovah’s Witnesses...I'm finding that a very high number of JWs live in the poorest countries.
My question is: How much longer can the JWs in the U.S. (14%) carry the financial burdens of the the rest of JWs (75% to 80%) who live in the poorest countries of the world?
