What good is it if you do good to those who are yours? Are not the wicked doing the same?

Oh, THAT's beautiful! WTG, IP!

Nice to see you, BTW. Hope you didn't get too hurricane'd!

Also, the Entergy Corporation is not a Christian organization. The WTS claims to be a Christian organization.

Yes, it's the ugly, petty, un-Christian selfishness of it that is so bothersome....and their merit rating system even within the congregation has to cause problems about where to draw the line for who is worthy for assistance and who isn't. I used to find this really embarrassing when I counted myself a member. Now, I'm just embarrassed that I ever bought into the lie.

THE ORDER OF SPECIAL FULL-TIME SERVANTS

Yeah, the Order of Special Full-Time Servants™ / Knights of the Round Table / Good Ol' Boys Club. The CO's and DO's that sign a Vow of Poverty™, and have all their travelling and living expenses covered by the various congregations, circuits and districts. We had CO's (and their respective wives) who were better dressed and drove nicer vehicles (including one with an RV that they called "home") than people with GOOD full-time jobs. Vow of Poverty™ my lily white @$$.

New World Translation:

Luke 6:32 "And if you love those loving you, of what credit is it to you? For even the sinners love those loving them." Matt. 5:46 "For if you love those loving you, what reward do you have? Are not the tax collectors doing the same thing?"

I wouldn't even call what they give their members help. Help denotes freely giving of yourself to others. The WTS expects to be paid for their services, by demanding such ones sign over their insurance claim checks. What a crock!
