    I was using Google Earth and clicked on the church symbols and there were Kingdom Halls all over the Islands there. Are there a lot of JWs there???

    What do you mean by "a lot"?

    Hawaii is treated by the Society as a separate "land" from the USA (it's still 1940s I guess), with its own branch and everything.

    I wonder if the jw's in bermuda wear suit jacket tops and flashy bermuda shorts with socks and dress shoes?

    I think the bros. in Bermuda wear sarongs. Really, I saw a picture.

    I also heard that the JW's in Hawaii can be sick of tourists, even if said tourists are fellow JW's.

    Heard they can be rude to them and all snooty. That was just one family's experience there, though.

    I don't know any statistics, but we have a close friend who is a native Hawaiian, and he has commented that there are "a lot." That is his perception, FWIW.

    Is that like 4 people in one congregation or 4 publishers in one congregation and the rest are huge families and friends?

    Seems like not very many in each cong.
