O.k. So this is the deal. I am completely fumming mad over this. You all know how the Jdubs do not associate with worldly people and are always saying that the "worldly" people will be destroyed and only JW's are worthy to live. Also how immoral the "worldly" people are, yadda yadda.....
Well, it recently came to my attention that a "sister" in my old congregation, HINGHAM MA, has turned to a "worldly" organization for financial help to purchase a van she is in need of. Not only that but this "sister" is using a program SPECIFICALLY set up during the "worldly" HOLIDAYS so other "worldly" people can contribute to those in need during the holidays. The program runs in our local newspaper and the names are changed for privacy but because of the details and town this lady lives in, I know for sure who it is.
This same lady when she found out my hubby and I left the organization told her grandaughter, a friend of my unbaptized daughter, not to call our daughter anymore becuase we are apostates. Apparently she is trying to raise her grandaughter as a jw. btw: That was fine with me because her 13 year old grandaughter was smoking and having sex with a 14 year old boy. And I told my daughter that "she" was bad association for my daughter anyway.
Now, don't get me wrong, this lady does have a real need. She is raising 5 disabled kids she adopted without a husband and needs the van to bring them to special school programs and the Hingham MA congregation has never reached out to help this lady in any way. But come on, isn't it hypocritical to accept help from the people and programs you are trying to condem? This lady doesn't let ANY of the kids even talk to their nieghbors but yet is going to receive help from not only her nieghbors but other people all over MA, probably ALL of which are NOT JW's.
Why is it that JW's have no problem condeming "worldly" people but yet take advantage of the programs these people set up and donate to?
Hypocrites I say!
