  bear in mind the money isnt "demanded" by the org, but its framed as a "suggestion" (command) that the money that would have otherwise went to the repair of the home to be forwarded to the society. My personal experiance in florida was that everyone who had their house repaired donated the insurance money when it was paid.

  Bear in mind, its a win/win for the org. the labor was FREE (my dumb ass working on a roof for free) and the materials were FREE (donated by well meaning friends in other areas). Even if the "puplisher" in question didnt donate the money out of guilt and frear, the work costed the branch NOTHING to begin with. No loss at all. Its absolutly brilliant in its design.

  Disasters work as a two-fold benefit to WTS. They get to scam people out of boatloads of insurance money and it helps them point to their end-time prophecies as being fulfilled.

  Beat me to it. I was going to say when it comes to money the WT doesn't demand anything, but they do strongly suggest.

  Help the non-JWs here.

  Their function seems clear, but could someone translate the acronym "RBC" for me?

  Does it matter, as long as I get my house repaired and it doesn't cost me a cent.

  Some of the houses he worked on, the owners had no insurance and were very low income. I don't know who paid for those materials.

  ... it was a provledge that they donate the insurance money "to help rebuild others homes".

  Putting the pieces together, from the insurance companies' point of view (including the National Flood Insurance Program, i.e. taxpayers) they are paying to restore property that was not covered by an insurance policy, for which premiums have not been paid. I'll leave it to the lawyers to opine whether or not this is legal, but it certainly is unethical!

  You do have to pay premium for a NFIP policy... usually quite a sizeable premium, in fact.

  In California the insurance company is more than happy to cut a check and have the homeowner be responsible for finding and monitoring the contractor. The mortgage company wants the home repaired by a licensed contractor and inspected so it's investment is protected.

  So it would seem legal. However what turns my stomach is the lies and deceit of the RBC and Watchtower Bible and Tract Society public relations machine. Reminds me of CEOs of "non profits" who earn 6 figure incomes.

  Smoke and mirrors. Who did they say was the father of the lie??????
