DIOGENESISTER:
You’re totally right about the story of the ‘widow’s mite’.
It was meant, as you said, to make the rich hypocrites look bad because they bragged but gave out of their surplus - whereas the poor widow gave an amount equivalent to all she had.
Sadly, this account has been misconstrued to mean some poor person should give if they are starving to death.
If anybody is looking for the JW religion’s “poor box”, I don’t think they’re gonna find it🤣..If anybody does find it let us all know! Probably like finding a four leaf clover or the philosopher’s stone.
