With their own two hands

Faith in action.

Not like the Topix crowd.

What a crock!

When Jehovah's Witnesses are asked why they do NO charitable works, they love the lie "we just do not brag about them"
Yet every time they save the WBTS hundreds of thousands of dollars they cannot contact the local news fast enough.

Saving a wealthy multi-billion dollar corporation is nothing but pathetic.

Why not post how many habitat for humanity homes they have built (even for another Jehovah's Witness), how about the soup kitchens they run?

Nope Jehovah's Witnesses and the WBTS do not even care for their own needy, they send them to the government the hypocritically claim to by "no part of".
They are only "no part of" the government when it comes to simple respect or defending our freedoms they freely take, including handouts.

Why if they don't vote can they be on welfare? If they think government is the devil, why do they take from it?

What do JWs do to help the community other then making their little cult grow bigger?

I deal with a lot of charity work and I have yet to see one JW there.

Quick build KH's only serve the mighty money machine in new york to spread propaganda and to promote their agenda.

In other words your so called faith in action is a load of shit.

They are hypocrites.
They take tax breaks meant for charities when they do not charitable works.
They seem to think because they pay taxes (otherwise they would be in jail) that gives them the right to disrespect our country on one hand while the other sticks out for a government handout.

As a kid, I was forbidden from doing charitable work for the elderly through my school.
I wanted to do something charitable, I always rejected JW dogma as the garbage it was.
Can you imagine informing your child they are NOT ALLOWED to help others???
The indoctrination not to help others starts with the children.
Unbelievable to decent people, but this is the truth.

Correct. I do not always vote in every election (except presidential) If I do not like either party, sometimes I just let the chips fall where they may. But the presidential election, I do vote. Voting is a privilege as an American, but not a requirement. But the tax base takes care of welfare and other programs.

Jesus built no building.
The Apostles built no building.
Nimrod built a building.
We follow Jesus and imitate him, in our spiritual walk.

The government is not the devil. But it is under the devil's influence. And no one on welfare "takes". Welfare is there for a good reason.

Society owes something to those whom it has failed.

If you are chronically on welfare, as many Jehovah's Witnesses are, hey better to spend your time recruiting more cult members and sucking off society, then you are NOT paying taxes.

Anyway, that reason is still hypocrisy.

Jehovah's Witnesses only pay taxes because it is the law.
The WBTS takes tax breaks meant for charities when their corporation has none.

If they were truly "no part of this world" as they love to spout in their propaganda, they would not be so willing to take government handouts.

The most hypocritical thing is that the WBTS and fellow Jehovah's Witnesses do not help their own needy, they send them straight for a government handout.

But hey, don't expect them to even be respectful and stand for the National Anthem because then they are "no part of this world", same with even providing humanitarian aid to our brave troops.
No way!

Tipsy, always pretending with one scenario after another, that he is just an "innocent observer", but always popping up to defend pedophiles and the rights of JWs to suck off of our welfare system, and Americans that are actually working and earning a living.
Some Jehovah's Witnesses even pretend they are "teachers". They are so out of touch with reality that they have no idea that "teachers" are not allowed to be on a computer all day on the tax payers dime spreading a cult's propaganda.
That is stealing and a cause for firing.
But hey, what else is new. Jehovah's Witnesses think that if they are committing a crime, it is okay.

So doesn't the Watchtower owe the people it has failed? What about 1975 gareth when they took peoples houses and money because they led people to believe that armageddon would be here and they didn't need it in the new system . Why would the Watchtower even care about money and property and just tell the people to just leave things alone? Why gareth? because they are crooks and Jehovah will deal with them and you too for saying what they did was ok!

right, faith in not neccessarily skilled people building a place that may well not be up to code for them to gather in

yeah, I'd say that'll take a lot of faith to go into a place built by amateurs

People on welfare don't pay taxes. They should not be allowed to vote. Either should government employees. These two groups are being paid by the taxpayers. They should not get a say in how the taxpayers money is spent. Oops, wrong forum.

we had a members in our congregation that worked all summer and pioneered all winter.. Collecting. an unemployment check.. the rules are here .. that you are to be ready and able to go to work at any given moment.. If your out all day pioneering then you aren't looking for work nor available.. Strange the elders never gave that a thought. Just bragged about them spending so much time in service.

With their 2 hands these tradesmen. build for the WTS. taking time away from their familys and jobs . Yes. with there 2 hands they slave . and they are unpaid for theit work. Strange the bible does address that very thing ... and it is looked upon as a wrong doing.. to not pay for their laborer.. Yet! They don't.,, Nor pay for gas , nor rooms , nor food . It falls to more unpaid workers to care for these tradesmen. Most of whom. do so willingly yet. blindly ..

amazingly, government employees do pay taxes

and while welfare recips don't pay income tax, they do pay consumer taxes on purchases, with rent they are paying a portion of their landlord's property taxes

and are not less worthy of having a say in how that is spent than any other taxpayers

Well I guess it depends on what area you were raised in.

Not one JW I knew of was on welfare. In fact, me being a teacher, supporting three kids, and a wife that doesn't work, was pretty much the "poorest" person in the KH.

The KH I attended was teh typical suburban middle class area.

If AMOM's KH had a bunch of people on welfare then that ought to tell you about the area she lived in.

Since KH's are assigned territories, then AMOM must have grown up on welfare.
