They sure as hell won't lift a finger to help or pay a ransom out of the ol WT coffers! They need it all to defend child molesters!

Didn't something like this happen in the Philippines about 10 years ago? Maybe someone can remember the details and find an old post

8/21/02 8:42 PMPATIKUL, Philippines (AP) -- Muslim rebels linked to al-Qaida beheaded at least two of the six Jehovah's Witnesses they kidnapped in the southern Philippines, authorities said Thursday.
Brig. Gen. Romeo Tolentino, commander of the army on the southern island of Jolo, said authorities found the heads of the two male hostages in an open air market in Jolo town.
The two men were abducted on Tuesday with four women as the group sold Avon cosmetics and visited homes around the town of Patikul in the south of the predominantly southern island of Jolo.
Tolentino said a note was attached to the remains referring to "infidels" and spoke of a holy war, or "jihad."

They are just expendable soldiers of jah! Lol. I seem to remember the GB encouraging JW's in lands with persecution to not try and escape it but to continue enduring. Can anyone confirm?

My guess is that the WTS would decry the events and call upon the local authorities to act to free the captives...not likely they would part with any cash.

Oh yea gotta use those superior authorities (military + police) and yet ban JWs from serving in either one.
