  Can JWs donate to the Red Cross?

  .

  i do remember that as a jw, i was not allowed to donate to the salvation army because technically it is a church, but i don't remember anything about the red cross.. if jws are not allowed to do so, why not?

  as far as i know, the red cross is not a faith-based organization.. marianne

  2. scandals

  did the wt ever discuss the un scandal?

  if so, do you remember what they wrote and how it was received by the r&f jws?

  the reason i am asking is that my sister is "fading" but still believes it is the "truth" and that the society is above reproach.
