@GoneAwol the good samaritan story is not a good example, so lets change it a bit,
suppose that along the road i notice two people bloody and battered crying out for help,.. one i do recognise as my relative and one as someone i do not know. Its only logical and natural that i would rush to my relative first and do all i can to help her before i look at the other person.

@DS211 if a disaster strikes i first and foremost worry for my own relatives. The next thing is other people.
Ephesians 2:19 tells us that fellow brothers and sisters are part of the same household and Galatians 6:10 says " . . .let us work what is good toward all, but especially toward those related to [us] in the faith."
first things first, and that is our brotherhood and people who have chosen to be part of that international brotherhood and household of God

@Kate the GB members nor any of the more than 20,000 JW FTE's dont take any salary home. If they would have done so the costs for that alone would be in a range of 40,000,000 - 50,000,000 a month

@JW Gonebad are you serious? do you think the ceo's , project managers and FTE's dont get salaries,.. do you think their offices come for free? Get real . Here in the netherlands it is crystal clear how much money is flowing away on salary costs, offices , fundraising and other things. And the philipines is one of the most corrupt countries in the world. The Red Cross cant do any thing about that http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Corruption_in_the_Philippines

@JW Gonebad Those Red Cross people you spoke with are liars. A big chunk of every dollar is spent on managers, CEO's , fundraising events, big offices , thousands of people called staff, overhead costs etc etc. Only a part of every dollar will reach the Philipines. Once there, what is left of this dollar is further damaged because of corruption on the island itself.

@kate last service meeting we had this week had a little talk about helping our brotherhood no matter if that is locally or internationally. If we, in our congregation, see that people cant afford the heating we would help. James 2:15-17

the only ones asking themselves where the money goes and the ones that do have a problem that JW's donate to the world wide fund are people like you... people who do not identify theirselves as JW's or who are one but secretly are not.
its like doing your groceries at walmart, because you hate 7eleven, but at the same time still wanna know why people shop at 7eleven, how much they spent and what 7 eleven does with its money.
Its our money, we gave it,.. now it belongs to our organisation and it is our business what we do with it. Eleven years talking on this forum did not change that and never will.
