It is just to get her free from the evil church or are you looking to possibly sponsor a long term care similar to what the church is in a position to do for her?

I know from being apart of a benevolence program people like this are the one's we as a congregation are looking to help but at the same time would rather spend the money on a full on church member rather than someone who does not believe and is only in attendance to take advantage of the church's generosity.

If you want to help look to see who has this person's long term interest best at heart.

Helping her express her hate for God is not going to help her situation with the people who can provide at least some measure of assistance to her family and her situation.
Reading comprehension Drich...see if you can locate some and put it to use.

Nothing is said about a hatred of god.  What is said is the person's parents don't want them to associate with people who are not JWs, therefore are worldly, in the jargon.

It also sounds clear that she is dependent upon her parents due to her health.

The JWs are known for being able to completely turn their backs on people, even family, when the person doesn't follow all their rules and regulations.
glob...

I know the JWs are buttholes if you are not in tight lock and goose step with their law. that is why I asked what where the intentions of the person who wants to help? IE what does the op want to do to help his jw friend? is it 
a.. just to hate their god?
b.. long term help? (because if it is to just to open hate the jw god they will shun her and take any help they are giving ther or the family away..

IE if you are going to help her hate god you also need to be read to fill the need the church currently is filling for the friend..

otherwise keep out of it as you will only her the jw friend more if you help her cast off the church that maybe supporting the family

Do you understand now?
