I won't be making any donations, although my husband more than will make up for me not giving. He's very generous $$$ wise, plus he donates a lot of his time and skills on a regular basis.
I don't agree with their stance of only helping their own, and not even all of their own at that.
The ones well connected, or the ones that are considered 'pillars' in the congregation are the ones that benefit the most.
All help given has to be approved by the 'service committee', so those that aren't in good standing will probably get what's left after everybody else in 'good standing' has been helped.
My fact is part of those relief committees and he tells me that 'inactive' ones, the trouble makers labeled 'spiritually weak' ones, are left
for last. Nope, I don't be donating a penny to the WBTS.
