In all honesty, they'd probably be doing a decent job as least as far as rebuilding is concerned. While I think there are relatively few doctors who are Witnesses, the Organization as a whole is very well organized when it comes to disaster relief. Even if 80% of the population were Dubs, the UN would still be sending in doctors and medical supplies etc. while Witnesses from all over the world would be decending on Haiti to help "save their brethren". And with such a large percentage of the population being Witnesses, I'm sure headquarters would cough up enough cha-ching to make sure all the KH's were rebuilt in record time.
The criticism I have towards the Organization when disaster strikes, is that their help is almost invariably focus all their attention on helping other Witnesses first, and other people second. Not only that, but their motive for helping out non-Witnesses seems to be not out of genuine love for their fellow man (because they're not taught that), but rather to "give a fine Witness". This is truly a shame and I don't blame the average Witness for this---I blame the "Slave", because they're the ones who have instilled the "us vs. them" attitude in the rank and file, no doubt so that Witnesses don't find out that 'worldly' people are no different than what they are.

I'm doing the math, lets see. Only 20% of Hatians would be hungry, 20% looting, 20% complaining, 20% shooting others, etc.

What! taking care of their own before helping others. What's going on, reminds me of when Jesus fed the 5 thousand with 2 fish and a loaf of bread. Jesus fed his disciples first, you silly rabbitt's, taking care of family first. Was that wrong? Two types of people on here. Those that help and those that complain about those who help.

As soon as all the R&F dubs in the helping Congregations ran out of money, all aid would stop. Headquarters would still be building monuments to themselves and investing in Wall Street, though.

JW's would suddenly have newfound appreciation for the various world militaries (especially the USA), the Scarlet colored wild beast, and "worldly" people in general who are (and still would be) donating to save Jehovah's Witness lives.
