  I noticed this item about a JW immigrant family arriving in the US. They are immediately love-bombed by fellow already settled immigrants. Very heart warming but... What of the JWs left rotting in the camps in Uganda? What is the much vaunted brotherly love doing to help them?

  To quote the article in part:

  The International Institute, which last fiscal year resettled 623 refugees who had fled war and persecution in several countries, will help the family find work, enroll in school, register for Social Security, and learn English.

  The JW Organisation is happy to take the spoils for other people's humanitarian work but do the heavy lifting? Leave that to someone else.

  Worldly organizations provide practical and ongoing financial assistance, whilst the welcoming Chelmsford JWs glow in the limelight.

  I like your turn of phrase.."do the heavy lifting".

  and it is a warming story I hope and pray the family are able to adapt successfully and in peace.
