YES YES YESSSS!
I attend a foreign language congregation more specifically all of our members are either originally or descendants from a 3rd world country. With that being said we only preach to people who speak our language or our native mother language....most but not all of the people we talk to at the door have immigration issues and family issues that live overseas. These two were the worst combination because these people would work hard to pay the landlord and stuff but at the end they would not have any money to clean up after themselves because these people feel just because i live in the ghetto it does not mean i have to keep my living quarters clean
When we find people like this they are more apt to accept a bible study, with that being said sometimes when the study goes well the brothers and sisters will find somebody to help them out with their immigration issues, help them apply for food stamps, help them find better work and finally hand them a mop and a broom After we give them a helping hand bribe we expect them to attend the meetings with us. but only to find out we've been taken advantage of just so they can gain US green-card or residences which is not easy to get.I just think some times the dubs like to be taken advantage of just so they can convert somebody/keep a bible study. but they fail to see that they are being use so someone else can get ahead in life with saying the magical word Thank You 2 us.*Puke*
I think the better question to ask if you went to a jehovah's witnesses house and see their house as Fxxxing filthy... and i've seen my fair share. the worst one was going to attending the JW BET ASSEMBLY AWARDS but my mother did not have enough money to pay for the hotel so a brother recommended that we stay in his sister and law's house (also a JW) since my mom agreed to the brother (XOCO's sister did not agree) so we stayed with the SIL. when the SIL law open the door for us it looked like the dirty streets from our third world country and their was some man in the home who was not a dub and kept making jesters at us (scared the bejeasus out of us). It even gets worse...the brother who suggested to stay w/his SIL got to say in a room that had its own bathroom nice sparking tile and fresh new sheets bed etc,etc. what we got was just pure S**t, i mean the entire room was covered with dust no sheets on the bed and the floor was covered dust and sand. I refused to lay on the bed!!!it was just so fucking nasty ass! what was wost was her bathroom i mean it had rust rings all over the tub, tile and shower curtain, also the bathroom sink and toilet was covered in some (i don't know what the fuck it was) so i'm gonna call it black death b/c that what it looked liked... The wost part of it all was that our host did not clean the room or the bathroom us MY OWN MOTHER had to clean up after her. This was soooo f***ked up on sooo many levels that i just can not fathom.
I could not reason how the cleanliness scripture went passed her airhead. but then again it must be some of the traditions that people keep when leaving a 3rd world country IMO.
