But, the Jehovah's Witnesses live by every word of the governing body. That is not the same as living by every word of God. Is it? Is the governing body calling itself God?

Every church I've been in has done that. However, "bread" is very important as well, such as what we read in the Parable of the Sheep & Goats in Matthew 25. To ignore that is to ignore Jesus' message on that. And notice it doesn't say just to help your "own".
Speaking of which, the largest charitable organization in the world is the Catholic Church, and even some other churches have donated to it because it is so extensive and efficient, such as Catholic Relief Services (CRS). And most of their aid doesn't go to Catholics.

Vee can you tell me what you were saying here?
It' a long long run on sentence that' is not readable.

And another JW and I were talking about this recently, and they don't do much outside their own denomination when it comes to charity.

I also have another problem.A person. Gave me this rule of thumb.
If you provide examples,2 or 3 is enough.
But if you provide 10 examples that say the same thing it's not a thread.
It' called a ramble.
It was tottal uncalled for.
Other holy books have been through the fire.
Here's an interesting example.
Christians in the 4th century destroyed the whole entire Library Of Alexandria with all the sciences of the world in it.
It had Paganist books in it.That tops everything you said about the bible.

They are taught that to preach the Jehovah's Witness way is charity enough.
Just think! If you would just listen and obey them all your troubles will be gone when you finally reach their paradise. And, it is forever! What more do you want? What more do you need?
I suppose I must add that it is some sarcasm there.
Jehovah's Witnesses do not answer questions that can put them in a bad light.

Oh ok. I didn't know Bee a d Jayhawk are Jehovah' witnesses. Thankyou for the information.
Jay isn't a Jehovah's Witnesses, but he is in the business of ignoring people.
I think you mean Vee. She is a Jehovah's Witness.

I think had he ignored my post from the beginning I'd be fine with that.
But if your going to attach my post for bad
English:You should stay and respond.
Just to attack a post,then run off,and ignore their response is really rude.
It's un Christ .If you attack someone' s post you should at least allow them to respond.
This is a debate area.Thst's not debating IMO.
He isn't a Christian either.

The GB teaches us every utterance from God, over and over, year after year. The GB is correct.
But, sometimes they are wrong. You have said so yourself. Isn't it you who says that being able to correct a misconception is what makes a person agreeable to God?

Strange--When the flock is in trouble and in need--The real teachers of Jesus would already have taught them--Matthew 6:33-- If they aren't living by that super important truth Jesus gave to all for free, they must be applying it to their lives, because their teachers do not teach them that super important truth along with the temp fix.Or before
Therefore, keep on seeking -FIRST- the kingdom and his( YHWH(Jehovah) righteousness and all these other things will be added to you( sustenance, covering, spirituality)
