    That's what happens when you start with a false premise and begin to build a defense. I have no real response...

    "The W(atch) T(ower) S(ociety) uses 90%+ of all donations to disaster relief and printing Bibles and bible aids!!"

    Amazingly, Watchtower's vast multi-billion dollar real estate empire, investment funds and other assets must be acquired with the other 10%.

    As already pointed out, since WT has no financial transparency whatsover, any claims by anyone as to how it uses its money is pure fantasy,guesswork or lies.

    I remember as a kid people in the hall helping ones that needed food etc and more recently giving money to those in need. But in 40 years never have I seen the org give anyone a dime.

    When my three children were very small and their mother was hospitalised for a three month period, I had to get assistance from a group run by the local churches. Initially, I tried to get help from our local congregation, only to be accused of trying to "use people."

    I can tell you this, the irony was not lost on that local, church-run, welfare group!

    I am a firm believer in donating to charitable causes that concern me.

    I recall once mentioning that to a brother who commented that I should be contributing that money to the organization.

    He stated, "They do more than any charity is going to do! They provide the chance for eternal changes."

    My comment: " I don't think someone with cancer cares about the eternal...they are just trying to make it till tomorrow."

    Blank stare, mouth open.

    Oh, sorry, another point:

    I recall the response of the commander in Angels and Demons (the movie)

    "My church feeds the hungry, comforts the sick and dying. What does your church do?"

    Great question for a Witness.

    I usually hear the response about teaching someone to fish being better than giving them a fish.

    yeah, a kid dying of AIDS or a family suffering from the ravages of Alzheimer's or Parkinson's really wants to learn how to fish!
