Why Jesus Did Not Get Involved in Politics

 Do Jehovah's Witnesses Help the Community?


Jehovah's Witnesses are politically neutral.  They are, however, deeping involved in helping people of all races and backgrounds in their community.  Consider a few facts: 


*Jehovah's Witnesses include over seven million volunteers who spend a total of more than 1.5 billion hours annually teaching people what the Bible contains and how it can help them  overcome harmful habits and practices, build happy families, and otherwise improve their lives.


* They print and distribute literature free of charge in over 500 languages, including some in which no other printed literature exists.


* They conduct public speaking courses that have helped millions to learn to express themselves clearly and tactfully.  


* They sponsor  literacy programs that have helped tens of thousands of people worldwide learn to read and write. 


* They have organized over 400 Regional Building Committees worldwide to train volunteers in construction skills so that they can build centers of Bible education.  In the past decade, oer 20,00 houeses  of worship, or Kingdom Halls, have been built.


* They are involved in disaster relief around the world, rendering aid to Witnesses and non-Witnesses. In a two-year period following a recent spate of hurricanes that struck the United States, Witness volunteers rebuilt over 90 Kingdom Halls and 5,500 homes.
