We had people fall back on the Cong for money (begging???). He was going through some hard times and asked the elders to ask the brothers of for some financial support for him. But I assume begging in the streets would be looked down upon, because it protrays a negative image on Jehoober. Could you imagine, someone coming to your door telling you that the way you live you life is bad, the same guy who you just gave 2 bucks to on the street yesterday!!! LOL

Scripture has a more gentle gentle treatment of beggars than do Jws. For example, Lazarus in the parable at Luke 16:20-22 has a higher position in Jesus' eyes than does the rich man. At Mark 10:46-52 Jesus heals the blind beggar Bartimaeus. In Acts 3:1-10 Peter and John healed a lame beggar. If JWs dislike begging this could be an alternative.

They don't have a problem with it at all. Just look at the articles they put out asking the dubs to "contribute" more.
