    5,576 ,,,,addresses anyway. Not sure how recent or accurate their list is tho. Don't know if duplicates or assembly halls. That would bring 2 1/2 Congs per KH average.

    Any guesses, what percent of KHs have 2 or more Cong's in U.S.? Many have foreign language Cong's, & ASL congs. too.

    No clue, but I've always wanted to go to these directories and add jwfacts or some other "informational" website as the website for the KHs.

    In Canada, about 1,575, using "Jehovah" as the search term (I think there are a few spare cults thrown in there for good measure). This would be congregations, not Kingdom Halls. That works out to one congregation per 22,000 people.

    Measuring the same way,

    The UK has 1476 congregations, or one congregation per 43,000 population. (Charities reporting greater than 25,000 per year).

    Using the Yellow Pages information, the US has one Kingdom Hall per 56,200 population. A similar IRS Search only yields 224 results, and many are for other organizations. I think only the assembly halls and larger centers are listed on the US IRS list.

    By the way, if you want to search the HQ charity information in each country, try Watchtower or "Watch Tower", two words.

    By my calculations, that is one flea bite per 10,500 population, which is a darn sight better than the Christadelphaians 1 flea bite per 23,500 population but undeniably worse than Mormons' commendable 1 flea bite per 4,885 population. Bring out the spray, I say.
