Caring means different things in different groups or religions. For many is visiting someone sick and helping buying food or such. It's more in helping practical way. In JW land it's more about if someone has committed a sin and should I talk to him 😁

As an organization JW s are pretty normal . True , there are some nasty ones and sometimes they get to be the most successful dubs. I always got on better with the "lesser ones" who were usually good people.
Their trouble is that they really believe that Holy Spirit and Gods truth falls out of the GB's #### , (sorry, I mean their mouth) . That makes them cherish and admire obedience to the GB above all else.
From the cloistered marble halls of War-wick the GB issue their instructions and expect them to be obeyed in the real world , despite resulting in hardship and sadness for those affected. Left to themselves ,those tough uber dubs would show a lot more humanity.

I remember one in the second congregation my wife and I attended going back to the 60`s. We were a young couple and going through some money troubles at the time and he offered to help get us back on our feet with a loan which I declined .He was an assistant cong.O/seer a really very nice guy.

ASP59:
I ALSO pointed out the lack of love in the congregation about the same timeframe.
Of course there was ‘love’. 🙄 It was just shown among people in certain cliques (elders’ families or pioneers). It was almost NEVER shown to somebody like myself: a single woman who worked full time. They had serious issues about me. Another woman in the hall with a professional job was treated in a similar fashion.
One thing I have to say is that we are both Retired. Even though I have not spoken to them in years (they are still in)..I’m sure they would admit it was well worth it that we stayed with our jobs ‘til the end because these small-minded people surely were NOT supporting us!

Overrated
It seems that the over self righteous JW in the Kingdumb Hall was to me the most rude, mean, nasty person I ever I had to deal with. And if you didn't have rank or money, heavy on money. You where treated like crap. While growing up as a Jw, we lived with very little. I was discouraged from getting higher education, but went out and got one. And now this same group want me to return to Gee-hober. I know what they want, my money and time. Not this time! I got money, you can't have it.
