  I make Seitan weekly. Its pronounced SAY- TaHN (rhymes with John), but I like saying that I eat SATAN. lol

  So Snowbird, how do you go about making the pad tai sauce? Whenever I make it, its always too soy-saucey

  i have recently found out that someone close to me is receiving medicaid and in the process of getting food stamps.

  this is so unfair and annoying.

  Mrs Jones, yes, I am annoyed and bitter that I am being shunned. And yes, it helps me want to tell on them. I am trying to put that aspect aside. This is why I am taking time to think about it and get opinions. I am not making any rash decisions. I do not know what WIC is, and I am not sure if they are on/with that.

  What if she is depressed and feels like she can't work anymore? What if she thinks that she will be killed by God because she can't do enough for the society? This is a possibility...hence the reason I havent taken any action yet.

  What if she really is injured and you just don't know it? She's Not. I DO know this

  Maybe she actually NEEDS the support of the system for a reason that you have NO IDEA about!!!!!!!!!!! Uhhhh, I dont think I deserved the trillion exclamation marks. My reason for judging is the fact that I've heard many statements from the husband before they started shunning my family. They believe Field Service is the most important thing, and they are taking advantage of the system.

  Yes, its legal. But I still believe its unethical. I'm just going to let karma work its magic.

  I didnt pull this information from the National Inquire . Its not like ya'll are elders and I'm sitting before you, accusing these people in real life.

  Take a Deeeeep Breath.....its all just conversation at this point. This couple is not the first example that I have....they just happen to be close in

  proximity and relationship to me. I've known others who have cheated the system, and I always just sit back and stew over it. So I'm just

  getting thoughts and ideas, and I appreciate most of the opinions here.

  I'm with Moshe on this: it's pathetic how JW's are taught that the entire world is under the control of Satan and how we should be no part of it, yet they have absolutely no problem in sucking every dime they can out of government programs while 'pioneering'. Years ago (at least in our area), they generally would not let you pioneer if you were on welfare or disability as they thought it set an incredibly bad example. Times changed though and if they want better stats, then you better lighten up on how a person supports themselves. I know of at least 3 people around here who 'pioneer' while collecting a Disability cheque. Hmmmm......maybe I should make a couple of calls...........

  It's not that I care if someone genuinely needs welfare, foodstamps etc. due to the economic crisis. That's what it's there for. But I do find it disgusting when I see people milking the system as it costs the taxpayers billions of dollars each year.

  My point exactly

  I suppose that's why I started this thread, Mrs. Jones. I haven't thought it all through at all, and I just wanted to hear some others' opinions.

  Ideally, it'd be awesome if the parents got busted and were forced to start working. But I suppose they would end up getting in a lot more trouble

  than I'd intended.

  Hmmmm, I'm kinda wishing I'd kept my cranky thoughts to myself.

  First off, these people live in my parents basement. I know them very, very well. They started shunning me within the last year. We know (and are related to) many of the same people.

  Secondly, I assure you that neither plans on furthering their education. It was a topic of discussion many times before I started being shunned. Further education is still evil in our neck of the woods. Becoming a ministerial servant and having his wife be an exemplary pioneer are far more important.

  Thirdly, whomever said my actions of turning them in would cause the child to suffer... this child has a domineering ministerial servant for a father and a mother who recently said that her baby will be homeschooled when the time comes (there are only a couple small children in their kingdom hall). This child is screwed no matter what. My intentions will ALWAYS have that little child as a top priority and I would not do anything to cause that child harm.

  To BREATHING, I appreciate what you said. You hit the nail on the head and for that I say "Thank you". BottleofWater...your advice is pretty good too

  Not saying its illegal, but unethical.

  Yes, I'm jealous. But only a little bit. I'm still willing to work my butt off for everything my family has.

  To be honest, I'm sick with a cold today and am stuck in bed. Too much time to think.
