Do you give to beggars?
by jean-luc picard ini have seldom given money to beggars.
i have often thought that many are people who just do not want to work.
however, i am starting to wonder if i ought to: and how much to give?.

Violia -- i'm so sorry for the misery the country you contributed taxes to treated you this way --- not to mention the evil congregation not coming to your aid. i would have gone to all the churches professing to be "christian" for help/assistance. gotta love the watchtowers' love of brother/neighbor - OMG!

Lady Lee --- in all fairness to wontleave, i have to admit i know many who are scamming the system (in one way or the other) --- healthy individuals who learn how to use the system in the U.S. they have a sense of entitlement like spoiled kids who always expect handouts when adults, and it's unbelievable!!! it's very disheartening when you know men/women who are very industrious and working hard to provide for themselves/families. the social security fraud (i'm not referring to the ones who are legitimately handicapped or ones that are really entitled) is a joke here. people learn about tax free disability and they are off and running. i think it's easy for humans to be lazy especially if there's entitlement packages and easy ways out and they hear about them.
unfortunately those who desperately need help suffer when they should be receiving REAL assistance and it makes me sick.

i heard thru reliable source only of missionary couple who exited the religion and were having a rough go of it (they weren't kicked out on the street/left homeless) -- some wealthy brother took them in and was helping out but seems they were elderly when they left. thank goodness people are giving and helpful. i hope no bethelites are living in tents.

YES -- always. it doesn't make me feel good to give but makes me sick they aren't getting real aid/help --- meds, whatever. i realize there are lazy ones who won't work and the begging is a job for some but they obviously have mental problems, are dysfunctional, delusional, but still need help.

i think there's more than a few reliable horror stories of their free labor force being kicked out in the streets.
