How many English congregations of Jehovah's Witnesses are officially in Salem, Oregon?

[rocket]

Officially, there are ten but one is in West Salem which has it's own city hall and government and is also in a different county. Technically that leaves Nine.

It reminds me of the two Jericho's in the Bible where in one Gospel writer writes of leaving Jericho and the other writer writes of going to Jericho, describing the same account.

But we cannot stop there because two of those Nine are actually in the incorperated city of Keizer. That brings us to seven in Salem proper. There are officially 17 Congregations in all languages in Salem, OR.

I remember this.

comments like " surely this isn't going to last....is it?
