The biggest factor, IMO, is that WT does not help people - only Dubs.
IF there is something leftover, then they MIGHT help a stranger.

When Disaster Strikes
by NeverAllowestobeMyself injehovah's witnesses repeatedly report that when disaster strikes they are the quickest to respond, the most organized relief agency and they provide superior support to their members and the affected community.. they make it sound like organizations such as the red cross are completely in disarray every disaster until jehovah's witnesses show up and show everyone how it's done!.
in the wake of recent disasters around the globe i would like to encourage everyone to share experiences of people showing genuine love to their neighbors, communities going the extra mile and organizations doing brilliant work..

LEARNING how to HATE is a Jehovah's Witnesses' "Christian" duty!
by Terry innote:.
one out of every 100 jehovah's witnesses is tossed out and 2 out of every 3 are never reinstated.
the law of the land and god’s law through christ forbid us to kill apostates, even though they be members of our own flesh-and-blood family relationship.

too bad they cannot spray cities with bombs that blow the bad to bits but leave the innocent intact.
I think this has been taken out of context, BTW.

Don't forget to "hate the person."
July 15, 1961, p. 420
in order to hate what is bad a Christian must hate the person with whom the badness is inseparably linked

Parking Passes
by berrygerry inlooks like they've been busted on the sales of parking passes at the rc.. this year, there is no fixed price (canada)..

Imagine Watchtower paying $2 per parking spot, then suggesting $5 to the publishers,
The last price that I paid was $45. for the 3 days.
If we use 3500 vehicles (conservative), that's $157,500 just in parking passes.
Not a bad little haul.

Can a small child be taken out of state without the other parents permission?
by Crazyguy inparents are still together not divorced.
one parent a jw wants to take a small child around age 7 out of state for a few months but other parents wants the child to stay home.
if the child is taken out of state can the parent that doesn't want him to go do anything?

This is a WT basic operating procedure.
Get out of state, and file a restraining order against the non-JW spouse.
Why would anyone take a kid out of school to another state?
Why is this even being asked?
Phone a lawyer ASAP.

IMO, the keepers are:
Worldwide Security Under the "Prince of Peace" (1986) Grey - "Likewise, the Greater Moses, Jesus Christ, is not the Mediator between Jehovah God and all mankind. He is the Mediator between his heavenly Father, Jehovah God, and the nation of spiritual Israel, which is limited to only 144,000 members."
The Truth That Leads to Eternal Life (1968) - And he warned: "I know enough of what is going on to assure you that, in fifteen years from today this world is going to be too dangerous to live in."
"By 1975 civil disorder, anarchy, military dictatorships, runaway inflation, transportation breakdowns and chaotic unrest will be the order of the day in many of the hungry nations."
The Nations Shall Know That I Am Jehovah (1971) - "Shortly, within our twentieth century, the "battle in the day of Jehovah" will begin against the modern antitype of Jerusalem, Christendom."

A flash from the past
by wasone inthis is a photo of the bethel repair shop taken in 1976. anyone recognize any of these lads from 40 years ago.
i know it's a long shot, but was wondering how many were still in after all these years.
i remember a few of them.
