  I know of no charitable work by wt.

  HM of the r&f live in poor situations who could be helped, raised out of their situation using the vast resources of the wt.

  The wt could run job search programs to help unemployed get work.

  It could run its own medical insurance in countries where such is prohibitively expensive.

  Think of all the houses that could be built if witnesses went to work with habitat for humanity on Saturday mornings instead of wasting time knocking on doors!

  Just amazes me how they will spend hundreds of millions of dollars and billions of man hours in an unpleasant highly stressful situation knocking on peoples doors and yet couldnt spend a couple minutes knocking on a fellow congregation members door to see if he needs a hand with something.

  Obviously whatever reference in the Bible having to do with helping out your neighbor means giving them a chance to accept WT literature.

  This "witnessing" fulfills the need to keep consciences quiet while serving the WT leadership.

  The WT writers don't seem to have any problem with hijacking Jesus' teachings and parables to have them serve as propaganda for the WT field service work of knocking on mostly not-at-home's doors.

  WT and charity are like the two poles of a magnet , they will never meet.

  The WT organization does not even provide a charitable service for it`s ageing R&F congregants who have spent a lifetime in service to that religion .

  A POX ON THEM ALL.
