Of all the delusions a JW labors under, perhaps none is more tragic than the one that deprives him/her of the truly satisfying reward of spontaneous help to a fellow human being in need. This is achieved by the promulgation of the notion that the JW ``Join Us or Die'' ministry is the single most worthwhile endeavor any human can aspire to, and supercedes any other claims on a JW's time, talents or resources.
Although WTS literature targeted for public consumption cleverly words any reference to charitable works to deliberately create the misimpression that JWs excel in this regard, the social pressure within the organization against involvement of significant effort and time in humanitarian voluteerism is palpable. .
