my neighbor is a jehovah's witness, and a relief crew of jehovah's witnesses reroofed her home. they told me that the home owner buys the materials (which is usually paid for by insurance) and then they provide free labor. another neighbor of mine that day was trying to put tarp over his roof. he's an elderly man, and many of the people from the relief crew went over to help him. i think it's not that they don't care about the world, but that the world is a big place, and they have to start some where. i've come to have great respect for jehovah's witnesses, and I listen to them when they come to my door.

Watchtower relief effort...
by undercover ini googled some different religion home pages this morning to see how some religions/churches were responding to the disaster on the gulf coast.. all the ones that i checked, catholic, baptist, lutheran, presbyterian all made mention of the disaster and had already started some relief efforts.
the cathoic church has its own relief website, catholicrelief.org where various relief efforts around the world are listed.
(one interesting one is that the catholic church is teaming with the mormons to bring food to niger) .
