I found what I was looking for
This morning two Jehovah’s Witnesses knocked on our door.
I asked for a copy of the publication “AWAKE!” and for a copy of the publication “THE WATCHTOWER”.
“AWAKE!” (May 2013) – Printing Each Issue: 43,524,000 in 98 languages
“THE WATCHTOWER” (May 1, 2013) – Printing Each Issue: 44,978,000 in 206 languages
“THE WATCHTOWER” (March 1, 2010) – Printing Each issue 39,601,000 in 180 languages
WISE OR FOOLISH?
