AK-Jeff's thread describes the seeming arrogance of JWs. See http://www.jehovahs-witness.com/12/142729/1.ashx
Here's another, it's listed as a current topic from their magazines on the WT site:
“Do not forget the doing of good and the sharing of things with others, for with such sacrifices God is well pleased.”— Hebrews 13:16
A group of Witness youths in the United States, ranging in age from 4 to 15, heard that their fellow believers in Africa needed Kingdom Halls. So they decided to take action. “We sold cookies and muffins at a yard sale, and we earned $106.54. We told people that the money may be used for meeting places in Africa where people could learn about the Bible. Many responded. It took us nine hours, but it was worth the effort—it was for Jehovah!”
Have you heard reports of fellow believers in need? For example, has there been a natural disaster? Try to imagine what it would be like to lose your home, your possessions, or even a loved one in death. The apostle Paul wrote that Christians should be “keeping an eye, not in personal interest upon just [their] own matters, but also in personal interest upon those of the others.” ( Philippians 2:4 ) Even if you live far away from where a natural disaster has occurred, perhaps you can make a donation that would help in the relief effort carried out by Jehovah’s Witnesses.*(to bre-build Kingdom Halls!!)There are other ways you can assist those in need. For instance, if you are one of Jehovah’s Witnesses, why not look around your Kingdom Hall? Are there any elderly ones or others who could use a helping hand? Can you help them with chores? The apostle Paul wrote to the Romans: “In brotherly love have tender affection for one another. In showing honor to one another take the lead.” ( Romans 12:10 ) When you see there is a need, then, take the initiative. Be willing to perform even menial tasks. And remember that serving others is closely linked to serving God. The Bible says: “He that is showing favor to the lowly one is lending to Jehovah, and his treatment He will repay to him.”— Proverbs 19:17 .Of course, the greatest way you can help others is by sharing what you know about God’s Word, the Bible,(what a cop-out!!) with them. Jesus said: “This means everlasting life, their taking in knowledge of you, the only true God, and of the one whom you sent forth, Jesus Christ.” ( John 17:3 ) Now more than ever, people need to hear the lifesaving message of truth from the Bible. So continue to have a regular and zealous share in the preaching work, confident that “your labor is not in vain.”— 1 Corinthians 15:58
It seems they just don't get it!
Or maybe they do, and that's why they cover it up. Look at the 'teaser' for this article:
See that? Yep, the teaser makes it seem as though they are encouraging doing volunteer work as we in the community might know it, but to a Witness, volunteer work means something quite different, a doing of good works within their own tightly knit community.Many young people today are getting involved in volunteer work. What motivates them?
Is that really what Christ meant? People throughout the centuries have long since not understood it that way. Compare the story Jesus told of the "Good Samaritan". What was the point but that cross cultural aid was being described?
Did I hear the word arrogance?
