There is one Jehovah.
(Deuteronomy 6:4-5) Jehovah our God is one Jehovah. And you must love Jehovah your God with all your heart and all your soul and all your vital force.
By 2006, there were 6,741,444 active Jehovah's Witnesses, and about ten million more who associate themselves with them.

Non-Jehovah's Witnesses- Too many to count
"Jehovahs"- Only one
If you're asking how many Jehovah's Witnesses there are, the answer is almost 7 million.

Well do the math, there are more than 6 million baptised Witnesses, worldwide, in a planet of more than 6 billion.
Oh, wait, sorry:D If you meant here, I am a Christian, one of Jehovah's Witnesses. I am the only one I know of for sure, though there are a few I am pretty sure of.

If you truly love Jehovah you will not follow the doctrines of men but the teaching in the bible.
Answer these Qs!
A. Do the JWs try to control or modify where, how and with whom the member lives and associates with?
B Do the JWs try to control or modify what clothes, colors, hairstyles the person wears? Are people castigated or shunned for not following certain rules in this area?
C. Do the JWs try to control or modify time spent on leisure, entertainment, vacations? Is your time with family even children limited by doctrinal sessions?
_______
I will state this; JWs will tell you to ask them and not a non JW about the JWs. Is this is the first move toward info control?
=
Interestingly the apologists for the main leaders are often quite blind to information control.
Information Control - second in the BITE cult model.
=
Do the JW's under the Guidance of the Watchtower Bible and Tract Society use deception about various doctrines and events such as how they deal with child abusers and frequency or the use of blood when teaching a person the dogma?
Is this:
Deliberately holding back information?
or
Distorting information to make it acceptable?
or
Outright lying?
===
Do the JW's under the Guidance of the Watchtower Bible and Tract Society limit access to non-cult sources of information? Is this minimized or discouraged?
Such as:
Books, articles, newspapers, magazines, TV, radio?
or
Critical information - information that shows errors or a pattern of errors or mistakes? Are these excused and minimized?
or
c. Discourage information from former members that they deem detrimental to adhesiveness or continued existance?
or
d. Keep members so busy they don’t have time to think such as meetings, studies, door-to-door work and other activities centered only on the group.
===
Do the JW's under the Guidance of the Watchtower Bible and Tract Society use the compartmentalization of information; Outsider vs. Insider doctrines?
Such as:
Information is not freely accessible such as guides for elders, overseers, and headquater reps? What books or guides are released to a select few?
or
Does this Information vary at different levels and missions within the leadership pyramid?
or
Does the Leadership decides who "needs to know" what and questions are staunched and discouraged?
===
Do the JW's under the Guidance of the Watchtower Bible and Tract Society encourage spying on other members and to report any activities from a list of acceptable actions or conversation?
or
Is there pairing up with "buddy" system to monitor and control people and certify actions? Is there a two or more witness doctrine?
or
Is reporting deviant thoughts, feelings, and actions to leadership
===
Do the JW's under the Guidance of the Watchtower Bible and Tract Society suggest extensive use of cult generated information and propaganda?
What is the information limited to...?
Are these Newsletters, magazines, journals, audio tapes, videotapes, etc.?
or
Are there misquotations, statements taken out of context from non-cult sources?
or
Are past "sins" used to manipulate and control; no forgiveness or absolution and always judged by prior actions?
________
The Watchtower Bible and Tract Society publishes the doctrinal material followed by Jehovah's Witnesses. Within these you will find the answers to each of the above Questions.
I am pretty sure that from among nonJWS, exJWs, and antiJWs they can paste an article or a paragraph from Watchtower Bible and Tract Society publication that verifies "yes" or "no" to the above Questions.
The info above is based on (a couple of comments added):
