  How long will the WT Org. help the Haitians?

  by moshe in

  2. beliefs

  they have 16,000 jw's in haiti who are now mostly desititute and will be for a long time.

  how long will the wt hand out free food, clothes, shoes and pay for their medical care?

  or will they just tell them to go to caesar for medical care?

  Being an NGO has allowed them to set up camp and help out their own first, and others by default. It's one of the reasons why being a NGO is necessary for them in this day and age. Sort of like many JWs registering for service because it's a law, although we darn well know we won't be going to war for any country.

  The news I've gotten is that just about every JW (dead or alive) has been accounted for, and that aid is arriving and being distributed even as we speak. They're really good at that!

  Where is God when the Haitians needed him?

  by AK - Jeff in

  perhaps a hundred-thousand dead.

  millions affected.. how many prayed in vain to stop the quaking, keep a loved one from dying, or for saftey?

  all disregarded, all ignored.. he either doesn't care, is dead, or never was.

  If you're really serious about a Biblical answer to your dilema, take the time to search www.watchtower.org for the answer.

  Sounds like you're hurting spiritually. I hope you'll be satisfied with the answer provided in their website. Certainly a good answer won't be found in this forum.

  Be well.

  how can the Jw's explain away the haiti earthquake?

  by highdose in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i'm sure they will get asked on the doors "how could god let this happen?".

  i belive the standard answer is a fudged recitation of adam and eve, basicly meaning its ok that these people died becuase way back when, someone disobeyed god, and that makes it ok.... any other stupid jw explanations for this?.

  The WTBS will get it's work done where there is the least expense and perhaps even less 'red tape' to doing things. I'm sure socialized medicine also played some part in it. All things are taken into account, and the most convenient way is the way the WTBS will go. They sure do their homework before taking such a big decision as this one is.

  Something You Hate About The Jehovah's Witness Religion

  by minimus in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  one thing that truly bothers me is that the religion forces you to accept an understanding they have expressed.

  they might very well change their view and you simply have to accept the newest view or you are the bad guy!

  the generation understanding has changed so much since its inception, how could any witness possibly be 100% sure that what they're told to believe in is "the truth"??.

  I really dislike having to report monthly service activity; it forces me to make up stuff just to look in good standing. I really, really, really wish this would go away, but I doubt it ever will!

  Were There Any JW Doctrines Or Beliefs That You Found Confusing?

  by minimus in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  most witnesses never could explain exactly who the "faithful slave" was (according to the society's explanation).

  the resurection of the sodomites was another bewildering thing.

  were they or weren't they going to be resurrected?

  I find kind of confusing the doctrine of letting "things in God's hands for him to resolve", as opposed to taking anyone who broke some law to the courts.

  I know that following this biblical mandate is the reason why some have neglected to report all sorts of abuse perpetrated by another JW. I don't agree with that stance.

  Yeah, I find that kind of confusing. However, some time ago, there was a letter read in the congregation that stated that sexual predators were to be reported to the local authorities so that they face the punishment. I sincerely hope it was read worldwide and that they flock listened.

  We've been through several disasters here in Florida, and the JWs have helped everybody, not only their own. Having said that, yes, they do concentrate and start out helping other JWs affected by the problem, but many others do receive the help as well.

  One must understand the resources are limited and the Watchtower does the best they can. Also, at this time of need, the brothers and sisters won't just sit there, they'll start helping themselves and others as well.

  The WTBS has received many praises as having one of the most organized ways to help the needy. I've been on both sides, giving help and receiving help, and I'll tell you, it's wonderful.

  JW Apologists please tell me where your God was when .....

  by wobble in

  during the dark days of the second world war , the monsters that ran a concentration camp decided to hang a child.. they hung the poor little chap so that it took half an hour for him to die, all the while making the other inmates look into the face of the child.. where was your god then ?

  was he not strong enough to do anything or did he just not care ?.

  if the first then he is a very weak god, if the second then,.
