   ====================   
   How is it balanced?  A JW can get help from just about any legitimate church   
   out there.  The WTS helps no one, not even their own.  JWs have to help   
   other JWs while the WTS just rakes in the money.  When I did volunteer work   
   I didn't ask anyone what religion they were, and I didn't care what color or   
   race they were.  And despite what Onebrow claims I didn't get any tax breaks   
   or money form the US Government.
