Hi Voyager!
This reminds me of my JW mother in law. She has claimed Benefits for years and yet has been working for cash in hand payments for years also usually three to five days a week. Now she's a pensioner she still works for cash in hand three days a week and claims Council TaX Benefits also.
Normally I wouldn't give two hoots BUT this was the woman who would not let us take my husbands elderly grandfather in and put him in a home instead because we were 'not spiritual enough' and no longer attend meetings! We would set a bad spiritual example for him!!!!!
Old Witch!

BadBoy, TheEdge, I wish I had it in me to do it, but both hubby and myself are worried about the consequences for her and the father in law. We don't exactly feel sorry for them but would feel guilty if they ended up in prison, even though they do deserve punishment.
They have actually stolen from us about a year ago a cheque we were given by a relative and we were unwilling to take action on that also. Before digital phone lines came in we didn't know who it was who was making 'funny' phone calls to us, silences, funny tapping sounds, breathing...etc. Then the 1471 system came in. We discovered it was them. Hubby told them about the new system and that we could tell who was making the calls and lo and behold the calls stopped!
We're great believers in what goes around comes around and are quietly watching and waiting. We've seen it happen too many times not to believe in natural justice!
As I'd personally like to get her into deep shit I know that my motive's probably wrong and I'm not feeling overly concerned about the benefits system. Also, the less we think about them, and have to do with those crazy dubs, the better!

Incredible isn't - who has the conscience here? lol - NOT the dub - I know what you mean though, I'd feel bad about 'shopping' someone - BUT the Benefits System is in place for those who are genuinely in need of help - and sadly there are more people (especially elderly) who are NOT claiming what they are entitled to.

Hi TheEdge - Yes, I agree with you about the benefits system but...just the same. Sometimes I wish we were hard and heartless just like the in -laws but then I realise, I'd rather be soft and thoughtful so..as I said before, what goes around comes around....we'll wait and see.

Thank you for your comments and reply's.
I would dare to say that if the Governments, around the globe were to catch and round up all of the JWs who are receiving Social Security benefits, disability checks, pentions, veterans checks, and the like, and who are also (working) and taking money under the table for (on-the-side jobs), then entire (new) prisons would have to be built. There would no-doubt be tens of thousands of them.
Every congregation I have ever been in, (always) had some older brothers and sisters who were receiving government benefits of one kind or another, who were also taking on some form of side job, (even in the home) that would earn them extra cash.
My own Mother included!
When she was alive, she received Social Security benefits, plus part of my Dads benefits, and she was always making extra money doing such things as: (1) Taking in ironing. (2) Cleaning peoples homes. (3) Baby sitting. (4) Cooking and delivering meals to elderly. etc.
Many times, when I would give her money to help pay bills, I found out later, that the money that I had given to her was being spent on her taking other sisters out to eat at some fine restaurants!
I nearly hit the roof!
Thanks!
