   =========================================   
   Jabriol has already said the homeless are just people too lazy to work and   
   should be allowed to die in the streets with their illegitimate children.  A   
   typical Jehovah's Witness attitude.  Only most JWs are smart enough to keep   
   this belief to themselves.  Although I agree some of the homeless are lazy,   
   most I have seen in my volunteer work have been alcoholic, mentally or   
   emotionally ill to where no one would hire them - even if they could hold a   
   job, and moms with children.  The cost of living is so high in the cities   
   and some suburbs that they cannot afford the rents.   Or no one will rent to   
   them with 2 or more children.   The JWs could do a lot for these   
   unfortunates with even 5% of the WTS annual $$$ take.  After all Jesus   
   didn't only preach to the people - he healed them, fed them and encouraged   
   others to help feed them.  Their KHs could shelter the homeless on bitter   
   cold nights.  They could run clothes-closets and soup-kitchens from these   
   heated halls.  They could hold free classes in English for immigrants,   
   and/or teach people (getting off welfare) how to go about finding decent   
   jobs.  Yet they do nothing!

   The Watchtower and Jehovah's Witnesses do not   
   believe in charity.  But what does the bible say?   
   The bible says give charity according to one's means
