Here’s something new. This year’s “Don’t give up” convention encourages theocratic welfare. Brother Pioneer is doing a lot of carting and having trouble making ends meet. His landlord doesn’t get it and decides to evict him and his wife.
Brother Elder likes brother Pioneer’s talks and is impressed by his ministerial school credentials. So when brother Pioneer confides in him that money’s tight, but that he pays his rent on time and his landlord wants to evict him for no reason (??? sure, we’ve all heard that one), bro. Elder doesn’t even consider clarifying the situation. The Christian principle of coming to an agreement between 2 parties doesn’t even cross his mind. Nor does he mention God’s principle of working to support your daily necessities. No, the answer is just to put the able-bodied couple on spiritual welfare. He explains to the couple how it works.
Next bro. Elder decides the best course of action is to screw that worldly landlord and get the congregation to move bro. Pioneer and wife to another apt.
Bro. and sis. Pioneer marvel at Jehovah’s generosity.
and bro Elder smirks at how simple it was for Jehovah to fix that situation.
New light shared, but not too surprising when you consider the video’s producers have been living on Jehovah’s spiritual manna for decades.
