Comments on: Ex Jehovah’s Witnesses For Haiti http://www.davehitt.com/blog2/ex-jehovahs-witnesses-for-haiti/ The Only Blog That Gets You Smartenized® Tue, 31 Jan 2012 04:07:14 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v= By: khadija yeomanis http://www.davehitt.com/blog2/ex-jehovahs-witnesses-for-haiti/comment-page-1/#comment-5502 khadija yeomanis Thu, 13 May 2010 14:59:31 +0000 http://www.davehitt.com/blog2/?p=1012#comment-5502 I just wanted to say in a very neutral way, I lived for a number of years in a country which I will not mention, in the home of my parents-in-law. We were not poor, in fact my father-in-law had a very good job as a government official. What amused me was the way tinned food and other supplies would make their way to our home, all specially boxed and labeled as being "aid" from the various main stream charities you have mentioned here. Why I was often amused was because of the fact we were neither needy nor destitute. Yet, around us in the village there were indeed many who could have benefited from these things, but they simply never received them. This was common practice. I no longer live there. But I just thought that unless you have actually been on the ground, everything else you hear or read is simply hearsay.... good intentions or not, compassionate heart or not. Another thing, when I give, I don't tell others that I gave, because that's nobodys business. Recommended reading: "El Tunel" (The Tunnel) by Ernesto Sabato.... alot of the motivation in charity here seems to be like that of "society" as reflected in this existentialist work.... and anyway, everyone who has been educated knows how fallacious it is to tout one's own good work against someone else's short comings to provide a contrast and make one look better in the eyes of others. This is so juvenile. Please, at the end of the day.... who cares??????????

The JWs are taking care of their own, and non-witnesses are getting the leftovers. Which was SOP when I left 30+ years ago. Maybe you need a "new truth" directing you to treat your fellow man equally. But then, they're only "worldly." Nothing in that article contradicts what I said.

Read for yourselves from this article proving these “Ex JW’s” don’t know what they are talking about. They are totally lying. If you people don’t want to the truth, fine – but why do you feel the need to lie about the organization now? If you want to help the victims in Haiti, that’s great! Encourage people to contribute to the Red Cross or whatever organization you want. But don’t lie and say we don’t help anyone. http://www.dominicantoday.com/dr/poverty/2010/3/4/34997/Jehovahs-Witnesses Below just a couple of quotes from the article. Feel free to read the whole article though. “At 2:30 am, Thursday, January 14, Witness truck drivers from their branch office here in the Dominican Republic were off to the border with 15,000 pounds of relief supplies. They were some of the first on the scene. They continued to send shipments of 30,000 pounds of food and medicine supplies every few days.” “A group of Witness Dominican doctors and medical personnel began to arrive in less than 24 hours after the quake. Among this group of 19 were an orthopedic surgeon, a general surgeon and other medical disciplines.” “The Assembly Hall of Jehovah’s Witnesses in Santo, Republic of Haiti, remained intact after the quake and served as a temporary clinic and medical center for the injured. Three Kingdom Halls in the affected area are being used similarly, with local Haitian Witnesses who are doctors providing medical attention.” Here is a link to a newspaper article regarding our relief work in Haiti.

(Galations 6:10) The need to speak abusively about the JW's (1 Peter 4:4) Makes it clear to see that you are not completely informed about JW's. The JW's where there on September 11th, giving aid to the workers at ground zero, they provided food and shelter to those workers. The JW's also were one of the first to come to the aid of those in need after Katrina and many are still there today helping to rebuild not only JW's home but anyone in need. JW's were one of the first groups into Haiti providing food and shelter to anyone in need. They have turn their Kingdom Halls into hospitals and many JW's who are Doctors and Nurses, and EMT's from around the world were there before anyone one else. The Haiti JW's have lost 104 and still counting in earthquake. I don't know how long you were a JW, but I have been one for over 35 years and "NEVER" have I ever heard to turn away and not help my neighbor!
