    Ever since Hurricane Rita Jehovah's Witnesses from all over have been coming down to the effected area of Texas to help other Jehovah's Witnesses repair their homes. Out of the 850 homes on the list, so far, more than 400 have been completed. I was "struck" by the comment of one volunteer by the name of Perham. He said he would like to help non-Jehovah's Witnesses but added: "You gotta look after your family. You can't take care of everyone in the world." Towards the end of the article I think I found out the real reason why they can help only a few non-Witnesses. "Many volunteers want the work here to finish quickly so they can back to door-to-door witnessing. Evangelizing has fallen off since the storm because so many people are busy repairing homes, volunteers said."

    See "Church members come far and wide to repair hundreds of homes"

    ***They arrive at the area Kingdom Halls from all over the state - and some from beyond its borders - to repair more than 850 homes that belong to their "brothers and sisters," other Jehovah's Witnesses.

    Be still my heart. How very NOBLE of them! Are their NONJW NEIGHBORS any LESS stricken and in need? (GAG)

    ***Jehovah's Witnesses who can't drive to Southeast Texas donate money to help the cause, Avila said, which is used to buy supplies and food.

    WAIT A MINUTE!!! He had better check THAT out with the "sassiety" who says NOT to send donations for ANY PARTICULAR DESIGNATION.......THEY will decide where your money goes!

    ***Also, several nonprofit groups, like the Red Cross, have donated frozen and canned foods.

    Were THEIR donations received ONLY by JWs???? Or did the Red Cross make any distinction as to WHO these would go to?

    These "praise the WTS" make me sick.

    ***No one is paid.

    'Spose not but...

    ***No one is forced to work

    They are most likely ecstatic to get out from under the WTS ratrace regime of the boring and redundant meetings-study-service-more meetings-more service-more study, ad nauseum.

    ***The Bible instructs people to love each other, Avila said before quoting John 13:34-35:"A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another; even as I have loved you, that you also love one another. By this men will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another."

    What a hypocrite!!! Too bad that this is not practiced on a regular basis in home congregations rather than as a bible quote for the public to read and THINK it is really the Watchtower "way".

    I can't read any more of this disgusting and self-promoting propaganda. I'd like to keep my supper down, thank you.
