  Under news alerts on the borg website, I noticed 2 stories, 1 about the bus crash in Honduras, and it's interesting that it seems that NON JW agencies have helped out when you see this statement...." “We appreciate the outpouring of support from the community and the various agencies that have come to the aid of those affected by this tragedy.” So on THIS instance, it seems the WT welcomes aid from outside sources.

  Now the 2nd story, is about the hurricane in Mexico, and we have this statement...." In the aftermath of Hurricane Odile, which hit the coast of Baja California Sur on Monday, September 15, 2014, Jehovah’s Witnesses from the surrounding area provided food, water, and medicine to THEIR members affected by the storm." (so only JW's got help, nobody else?)

  Is not the WT such a generous and giving back charity to the community? They love help from outside sources and they won't ever help their own members unless a disaster strikes, then it's ONLY their own members.

  Sorta like how members can use products derived from donated blood, but they cannot fixate blood themselves.

  They will gladly accept the "outpouring of support" from all the people they have judged and condemned to death come the big A.

  OF course they enjoy the hand outs. They are REALLY looking forward to when these folks and their children become BIRDFOOD so they can take it ALL when they move into their houses.

  When I was little, the adults had a game to keep us youngsters focused....."Pick out the house you are going to live in after Armageddon."

  I proudly PROCLAIMED "THIS is the HOUSE I want after armagedon"!! Outside the gate of a mansion...the owner was just behind the gate...and overheard me. He had the strangest look on his face...as my elder/BS conductor stammered out a "goodmorning".

  If Armagedon is the worst thing that will ever happen on earth....there won't be any of mansions/houses standing. That's what I used to thein when sisters said they wanted this or that house.

  Take Care,

  Their should be discrimination laws that could affect their "charity" status .

  When I heard about the disaster / insurance benefit scam that the WTS does, it became for me the most reprehensible of all of WTS's policies.

  A couple of days ago, there was unanimous support on this board that the news of the accident would NEVER be published on jw.org. Oh, that was so utterly wrong, so terrible.

  Now the news HAS been published, but oh, that was so utterly wrong, so terrible, because of wrong wording, and focus is in an instant moved to who gives support to whom etc.

  So it's the same old story - whatever they do, it's wrong.
