I like the widow's mite, coupled with Romans 14:4
Who are you to judge the servant of another? To his own master he stands or falls. (To the master, ONLY)
Best scriptures for countering TOMO III's comment about "inactive ones"??

The widows mite used along with Heb 6:10 -- "for God is not unrighteous to forget your work and the love which ye showed toward his name"

Try James 1:27 from the silver sword bible;
paraphrased it says;
"The form of worship that is clean and undefiled from the standpoint of our God and Father is, to look out for widows and orphans in their tribulation..................."
What provisions does the WTBTS have to help, aid, assist, or in other words, "to look out for" widows or orphans?
NONE
just saying!

Vidquin: If you want to reason with a Witness without using Scripture, you will be wasting your time.
In my experience, trying to "reason" with a JW, with or without scriptures, is a waste of time.
The vast majority live by this mantra: Listen, Obey and Be Blessed!

Oubliette, yeah, I guess you're right. I just think there will be quite a few waking up to TTATT, with the way things are going, so one should go easy on them. By reasoning logically from the Scriptures, one could point them in the right direction. Their Listen, Obey, and be blessed-mantra might work in a song, but doesn't work in real life. Also it has become clear that their leadership has become totally disconnected from reality. We can expect some more "earth-shaking" truths announced from the platform, and as the saying goes, "the truth shall set you free."

What more is necessary than what eyeuse2badub said? I can't tell you how many company-men totally avoided such needy ones (too busy handing out invitations to attend the memorial in one case). To be fair, I have also seen the other side, but they were by far in the minority and not destined for advancement. But, they did care....

Agreed.
Vidquin:By reasoning logically from the Scriptures, one could point them in the right direction.
Agreed! But you can't get to logical reasoning by half measures. A form of argument that is "mostly logical" is still illogical.
Vidquin:Also it has become clear that their leadership has become totally disconnected from reality.
And agreed!!!
