I have yet to see a JW volunteer to help ANY charitable organization that actually does anything. I have never heard a JW say that the WT could improve in their efforts to help people in practical ways. I suppose it's for at least 2 reasons:
1) Criticizing the ORG is forbidden. [ Just try it and see what happens ]
2) Worship of the Org is the actual practice of JWs. [ Just say you don't serve or worship the ORG or the GB, see what happens ]
Jws have been consistently presented with selected information for so long that they can only reach 1 conclusion. That is, the WT being a perfect ORG, ran by God. That premise, based on half-truths, omissions forms a " special relationship " between the ORG and the R&F. The R&F don't question because they have been conditioned to " wait on Jehovah." They just assume that the ORG is sending out special task forces to handle disasters. There is no " first responders " unit trained by the ORG. They call each other like normal people after a disaster, the word spreads and survivors help survivors. The only difference is that "worldlies" don't announce their righteousness ahead of themselves, or use humanitarian efforts [ which should be done because it's right ] to promote themselves above 99.9% of the population.
The fixation of the D2D work as being " the way " to preach, and the delusion of the WT and Awakes being " the truth ", has blinded JWs so much that they will literally hand a starving person a magazine about a future paradise where the starving person can eat. That is, if they don't just walk on past.. In the meantime they will berate "worldly", " Satanic ", " false religious" organizations who are actually feeding people, clothing people, and housing people. Then they will turn around and join the OSCE. Notice the first words in the following video.

The hypocrisy of the Org is simply astounding. They are such hypocrites that they will let a starving person die while claiming to " teach them to fish." The problem is that according to God's word, we should be " giving them a fish ", to keep them alive while we " teach them to fish." It doesn't make any sense to let someone starve while handing out magazines and books about a future paradise. Just imagine if the ORG started truly helping people 100 years ago. The END is so close! Only a few million more will die, so why bother? God will take care of it later....
" But whoever has this world’s means for supporting life and beholds his brother having need and yet shuts the door of his tender compassions upon him, in what way does the love of God remain in him? Little children, let us love, neither in word nor with the tongue, but in deed and truth."
" Many will say to me in that day, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name, and expel demons in your name, and perform many powerful works in your name?’ And yet then I will confess to them: I never knew YOU! Get away from me, YOU workers of lawlessness."
