What I find disturbing is the encouragement from the organization to ultimately be lazy and steal from productive people.
People that work less in order to take advantage of government programs not intended for them are taking money from people who contribute to society. That’s how it works. It’s not government money, it’s taxpayer money. Somebody busted their ass and got taxed for it and a lazy Jehovah’s Witness took that guys money, ultimately their labour. Totally unethical, and for a religion to promote this behaviour is unacceptable.
Government programs are meant for those with disabilities or some other valid reason that they are unable to have a job so by encouraging publishers to be takers from society, Watchtower is taking funds from the most vulnerable of society.
