Neither my wife or I will never donate money to the Navy and Marine Corps Relief Society. All they do is encourage bad behavior by taking the money from responsible Marines and then they hand it over to the most irresponsible Marines.
Well, I think I can understand that point of view...I don’t see that from where I am at right now, but you sound like you see it and I can see how that would make you feel about it.
I think that is the nature of some relief of this kind, and even though some people do stupid things and can’t manage to save money from one payday to the next, I think some are just stretched tight to begin with.
In this case, I suppose I take the good with the bad. My mom was involved in the organization when we were kids, so I have always felt a connection and enjoyed giving to them.
They helped me replace an engine in my car once. And gave me money when someone stole my wallet on payday.
