good question... I heard they shut their doors in NY during 9/11...
They'll make sure everyone has a Watchtower.. but thats about it.. as far as I've seen
i've heard lots of stories over the years of the wonderful job the jw's do in assisting those in need in disaster zones whether they be earthquakes or floods.
it would always be reported that the witnesses were the most organised in setting up camps etc and would out do the red cross and other such organisitions.
but also that they would quickly set up mini congregations to keep the disaster struck brothers spiritually fed.. has anyone here been involved in disaster relief work with the witnesses to clarify:.

james harrison has magical blood.. specifically, his blood contains an extremely rare enzyme that can be used to treat babies dying of rhesus disease.
if you've never heard of that disease and figure it's not a big deal, well, wait for the numbers.. harrison, being a generous type, has donated his rare, life-saving blood roughly 1,000 times over 56 years.
this has saved the lives of--seriously, you're not going to believe this--over two million babies around the world.. .
hey did anyone hear about the body they found down by the river?.... the found a woman with bowl on her head, a banana in her mouth ... and a spoon up her butt......

proverbs 6:16 .
nwt:.
there are six things that jehovah does hate; yes, seven are detestable to his soul: lofty eyes, a false tongue, and hands that are shedding inocent blood, a heart fabricating hurtful schemes, feet that are in a hurry to run to badness, a false witness that launches forth lies, and anyone sending forth contentions among brothers.. hebrew:.
Wow .. when I first started reading the list .. I said, 'sounds like the congergation I went too!'... really .. oh forgot what you were looking for ....

not sure about it specifically....but i see three catagories...and what do you think is the specific one is????
i fit in the first one...and you guys know what the deal breaker was for me.... (changing the bible to make it say what they wanted it to in the nwt...especially adding the name jehovah 237 times in the nt...or cgs....when there is zero ancient manuscript for doing so...even though rev says to not add nor delete nuttin...they added the name jehovah twelve time in rev alone....even though not a single one is a quote from the ot or hebrew scriptures!!
and that is not right either....how did we not notice that we have the only bible around with the name jehovah in the new testament.....sooo deceitful about that) (and that is the longest parentheses of my life)...lol.
god forgive me...i have to live this sinful sexual life even though i will die at armageddon

we believe that 99.9% of earths population will be soon put to death because of their unrighteousness and hatred of god.
this probably means that you wont make it.
sorry bout that.. god is using us to warn the entire world of mankind.
great read... well done..
i stopped the study.
my mother started going to meetings again too.
the relationship became serious right before i went back home.
I am no longer sure how to worship him.
in spirit and truth.. works for me, I left 23 years ago... glad I never went back.. I never will after finding out how corupt the Governing Body is..
but when I left I went into the world still believing it's the 'TRUTH'..... but knew my dedication was to Jehovah not to the Watchtower.. that is how I survived.. I kew they were wrong to say you can only get to Jesus with the Watchtower.. that is just WRONG..
Welcome again.. enjoyed reading your letter.. hope you stick around here.
