Apparently, other countries (Not the U.S.A.) have felt that Watchtower is not a
beneficial religion. I don't have the data, but there have been countries that want
to rule that the JW's are a destructive cult or at least not a legitimate charity or
religion.
As pointed out though, in the U.S, there is no necessity that they do more than
advance their religious ideas. They don't have to be viewed as a positive contribution
to the community by a majority because the courts will be liberal in their application
of the law.
Still, grass roots beginnings sometimes amount to something. The pendulum is
swinging toward dislike for these "religious" groups and anyone that teaches
hate (JW's hate homosexuality and interfaith and politics).
I would challenge the claim that the organization even does any real relief work as
a charity. They ask the members to donate to the worldwide work when a disaster
strikes, then they send the RBC to organize the totally volunteer group. I say they
make more money than they spend on relief. Most of the food and equipment is
donated by members, all of the labor is free.
Medical care for their Bethelites- Well, if you make it up the ladder. Now, a claim can
be made that they take advantage of younger workers and dismiss them before they
cost money in healthcare. Eventually, successful lawsuit will overwhelm them on that.
