This is the story of my JW experience / life! I have a major issue with this mentality.
Growing up, at least half my cong were on UI, welfare, long term disability, OAP, or other pensions. There was a culture of finding a way to get free support from "this old wicked system of things" . A jw kid from down the street lost his legs in auto accident and got a pension from the auto insurance co. His family called it a gift from Jehovah.
Many had lots of kids, just to collect more government support payments...
Don't want to share too much family stuff here, but my observation is that all my rellies, and long term JW family contacts were raised to 'play all the angles' to get free money from the state or insurance co.
Is this just a local thing?
