Ezekiel,

Poor Knat... he has no idea what he is talking about. You are dead center on what you are saying. The WT thinks only for itself... there is no love for people there. Oh, yes, some of the misguided folks at the bottom of the chain are lovely people I am sure, but just don't get cross way between them and the GB and see just how ovely they are then.

Speaking as an ol' timer, I just feel sorry for Knat... he will learn the real WT Society some time in the future and then be very disappointed....

I don't know the exact year the brochure was released, I guess it was around 2000.

They don't have it at congregations. Bethel will send you a copy if you ask them. In the last page, they say they "welcome questions". See, they find time and pleasure in answering questions on how you can donate, but don't have the same time or availability if you wanna ask Biblical questions. In this case, they will notify your elders about your "attitude".

Ezekiel 3,

You are right on and have eloquently expressed the sentiments of many of us here who are "CLOAKED" for the sake of family.

I think its absolutely stupid when they try and tell you not to donate to other charities. What business is that of theirs? We cant in any way decide democratically how the society uses their donation money, in fact they would probably step all over someone if they did inquire. And also another pet peeve is how they charge 5% tax on money that people themselves donated to them in the first place. I thought it was supposed to be based on corban or no tax as they always tried to explain, but when its to their advantage tax is ok???? Wtf... I dont know I sure think its hypocritical and money based, but thats my 2 cents.

TITLE: Deseret Morning News (Salt Lake City)
DATE: December 28, 2004

As the death toll from the south Asian tsunami continued to rise Monday, The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (Mormon) was among aid organizations providing immediate assistance to disaster victims.

The church issued a statement Monday saying it "expects that a major humanitarian response will be required."

Across Utah, humanitarian efforts included:

-- The Salt Lake-based nonprofit Globus Relief was raising funds to send medical, food and hygiene supplies within the week.

-- The Greater Salt Lake Area chapter of the American Red Cross collected donations for relief efforts by the International Red Cross and Red Crescent Society.

-- In St. George, high school students decided to start their own relief efforts, collecting cash donations along with clothing, blankets and other supplies for disaster victims.

Russell Behrmann, chief executive officer of the Better Business Bureau of Utah, advised those who wish to donate to relief efforts to use caution, noting that many agencies don't have the means to provide disaster assistance.

In St. George, 18-year-old Snow Canyon High School senior Casie McNaughton said she was struck by the personal accounts of those who survived the South Asia disaster.

"I really wanted to make a difference, somehow," said McNaughton. "We can help people across the world at their time of need. . . . I just thought this would be a great way to help other people."

McNaughton started calling others to help out shortly after she started work at 5 a.m., and had collected a $200 donation from Stanger Toyota by the afternoon.

McNaughton said donations will be collected for the next two weeks at St. George Maverik Country Stores. Her group, Utah Teens for International Outreach, is also sending letters to area high schools asking for help. The donations, to be collected for two weeks, will likely be sent to a Jehovah's Witnesses office in the disaster area, she said.

There is still not even one mention of it on their website. One would think they would be talking about helping the congregations there by now.

Sincerely,
