   ##  So?  What disaster isn't a news-attracting event?  Handing out   
   sandwiches and hot coffee/tea to the homeless at night does not attract the   
   News media and they still do it.   Picking up the homeless on bitter cold   
   nights to bring them to shelters and hospitals doesn't attract the media   
   either.  There's nothing about this in our papers or on TV.  How do I know   
   these things go on?  Because I knew several of the women who made the   
   sandwiches and/or drove the vans (one was Baptist and the other Church Of   
   Christ).   I also saw the van down by the river where the homeless live.  No   
   media involved and Ann said no one asks or cares what religion the people   
   are.  They don't care.  They see them as human beings, not as some   
   "religion."

   > It doesn't sound like where you live is any different.  People are people.   
      
   ##  Except these people from our local churches are willing to help   
   everyone.  No one asks what church the person needling help belongs to,   
   unlike the JWs.
