  known to people in their homes, in public

  value of proViding true spiritual enlightenment.

  Except when shunning people who believed differently then they hid their "light" from those evil people. err, wait, that's the jw's not Christians.

  Carla, you must understand(ps) that when talking to people at the door, they attempt to convince them to believe differently. When they finally do that, becoming a JW, that's perfectly acceptable. From thenceforth, however, they are prohibited from believing differently as that is no longer perfectly acceptable.

  There's something horribly wrong with this picture.

  Jesus had no "resources" The Watchtower corporation has hundreds of millions, possibly billions on hand. Are they using their "resources" for anything other than printing more material in a world that is now rejecting "paper" in favor of the environmentally friendly internet.

  Advice ignored by the GB, they use an outdated method (door to door sales) rather than employing modern technology to reach people wherever they could be found.

  Doing good to their neighbors is GB defined. Their definition is solely WT approved preaching.

  No food banks

  No hospitals

  No community outreach

  No counseling or treating alcoholics/drug addicts

  No providing clothes to the needy

  No shelters for the homeless

  No shellters for abused women

  No NOTHING, other than the occasional help for JWs during absolute disasters. (Oh and make the check out to the Watchtower, don't earmark it for disaster relief.)

  And I hope everyone gets that the "Novel approach" comment is Hyperbole.
