    Ok, A law-abiding citizen , yes, but A productive citizen, what do you think.

    I have heard this statment from the borg., how people from all over the

    world have change their lives and become A productive citizen, how?

    In my community when A problem arise (gangs, racial, police) who is on

    the front line to address the problem, the local ministers. If you

    ask A JW to participant, he will tell you we do not have those problems

    in our organization. When I tought about who would top my list of

    unproductive citizen, number one gang members second JW,s.

    Now lets move up too the HQ of JWs in NY. How productive is the branch

    in this country, as citizens. Compare them with the HQ of the Mormons

    in Utah and the Pope in Rome.

    One more question, are minister salary tax emempt?

    What do you mean by productive? You mean economic production? In a sense JW are far better Economic Producers then any, they love to pay taxes and feel that the end is near, also they need to build a good reputation for Jehovah, meaning that they have to work hard.

    JW are typical Economic Slaves.

    They do not produce as much income for the economy as they could if they all got a good education and held down full time jobs.

    As to contributing to the community in other ways, they simply do not.

    They do not take part in politics, in voluntary initiatives to improve the neighbourhood etc. and the do not do anything for charity, apart from solicit funds for their own fake charity.

    They do have the odd sucess, in my old Congo. one guy when he came in to the religion did not posess anything that was not stolen, even the childrens' clothes and toys were stolen. he went and made amends where he could, and never stole again, which overall was much better for the community.

    But, there are seven million Dubs who could be such a force for good, if they were led by leaders who were even a little bit Christlike, who contribute virtually nothing towards the benefit of their fellowman because they are wrongly led.

    That is evil.

    JWs are unproductive because they squander their talents. Many could excel at professions and be an asset to society but instead they choose to live on low wages doing menial jobs. In addition rather than helping the community they spend hours on meaningless half hearted service hoping desperately that people are not at home.

    In addition what is the product of the religion - mentally scarred individuals who distance themselves from others.

    Their above statement is claiming that only Jehovahs Witnesses are law abiding and productive citizens;

    - i.e. barring the seven million odd JWs in this world, all the other six billion persons on this planet are not law abiding and productive; not even one of them!

    This, of course, is simply ridiculous!

    Furthermore, the above claim is the same as saying that each and every JW is a law-abiding citizen. This, too, is by no means the case - but will be the subject of a future post.

    jam, when people file and get a refund, it does not mean they haven't paid taxes, but rather that under the laws of that country they paid in too much taxes. We try to make our withholding as close as possible, but we still end up with a small refund each year.

    My experience in law enforcement and government jobs has shown that being a jw does not guarantee law-biding jws. I also realized how many law-abiding non-jws there are, with and without any religious background.

    I have know of lazy jws and lazy non jws; being a jw does not guarantee their being hard workers.
