wt feeds their sheep only propaganda to keep them ready to be exploited.
So-called "Spiritual food " with the sole purpose of keeping control like a rape drug. drinks laced with addictive substances, and little true nutritional value. A few morsels of good , self - evident counsel as ta opping.
Just found this thread . The comment about other religions helping people is right .
l live in Tamworth , UK . Well a village just on the edge but my Anglican church teams up with all of the Christian churches in the area . There is a group called Tamworth Christian Churches which works together to pool resources , talents and buildings .
30 years ago our ,then, local vicar had a vision ( not necessarily literal ) of using the empty old school buildings as a hostel for homeless teenagers . Tamworth Cornerstone Housing Association was born and has provided accommodation for young people needing a roof over their heads ever since .
A local Evangelical church has been running a food bank for many years . All local denominations support this project . My church encourages a reverse advent calendar each Christmas . Every day through Advent you put a food item into a box for the food bank .
A few years ago TCC started providing shelter for homeless adults over Christmas . This has grown each year and this year will be open for 3 months , hot meals and a warm bed over the worst of the weather . Not just that , because the project now runs for longer many homeless people have been helped into permanent accommodation and into the "system " so able to claim benefits .
l could cite many other ways in which all of the Christian community come together in what is quite a small town in order to help people . l have never heard of the WT doing anything like this .
National Christian groups like the Salvation Army help the homeless , lonely and abandoned every day .
So yes churches DO ask for money and volunteers but both are put to good use showing Christ's love in the most practical ways .
