Religion in Peru
Are you aware that Jehovah's Witnesses in 2014 had 123,000 babtised members and possibly a similar number studying the bible with them. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 173.212.158.61 (talk) 02:15, 29 August 2015 (UTC)

 * No, I'm not aware that Jehovah's Witnesses in 2014 had 123,000 babtised members and possibly a similar number studying the bible with them. Next question! —Tamfang (talk) 04:18, 29 August 2015 (UTC)


 * That sounds like OR to me. Citation, please!  --   Jack of Oz   [pleasantries]  05:08, 29 August 2015 (UTC)
 * So how is Tamfang supposed to find a source to prove he didn't know. Tamfang, I believe you didn't know that and I don't need a source. CambridgeBayWeather, Uqaqtuq (talk), Sunasuttuq 05:20, 29 August 2015 (UTC)
 * Obviously, Tamfang should go publish a paper describing the state of Tamfang's ignorance. Preferably in an peer reviewed academic journal (no self-published sources, please).  Dragons flight (talk) 10:13, 29 August 2015 (UTC)

 * To answer the OP's question, see Jehovah's Witnesses by country. Our article gives a figure of 194,860 for "Average Bible study", referenced to the 2015 Yearbook of Jehovah's Witnesses.  I'm not sure what "average" means in this context, I must admit. Tevildo (talk) 10:00, 29 August 2015 (UTC)
 * Peru, just by itself, must be taking up most of the storied 144,000. ←Baseball Bugs What's up, Doc? carrots→ 11:36, 29 August 2015 (UTC)
