  How do you feel about people on government assistence?

  by free2beme in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  for a long time, before working with people in this situation, i would have answered this question with .... "i feel for them and i know how degrading it must be, to come to this point in their life to have to depend on the government to sustain them" .

  ... once i got up close and personal with these people, i have learned that my answer only applies to a small group of those on government assistance.

  well from my experience, those on government assistance are more often about taking advantage of the system, then they are about actually being in need of help.

  i met a friend of mine for lunch today, and lunch extended into coffee.

  now this is a girl from a rural background and always seemed to be doing the right thing.

  as coffee progressed she asked me what i thought of the new blood card- we discussed that for a while, then she mentioned another doubt.

  Is There Truly Any "Underground Reform" Going On?

  by minimus in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  not an organized type, at least.

  as an elder, i would try to bend the organization's rules so as to be more moderate and give the "sheep" a little more comfort.

  but no elder or group of people could organize such a group and stay within the watchtower's (kingdom hall's) walls.
