True Story, my dad had a friend who went to Las Vegas. He got to playing BlackJack and was winning, after something like 28 hours straight of playing and being $500,000 to the good his daughter finally convinced him to cash in and go to his room to rest. He laid down to nap and never woke up. Died in his sleep. His children gave almost all his winnings to the church the man attended. Catholic. They accepted it.

Wow...talk about ethical dilemmas.

Lol, I can just hear some representative from the Vatican, reading a 60 page study on why it's alright for the RC Church to accept winnings from casino gamblers. Lol

What a crowd. I only have one question for y'all. Would you begrudge the Church if it took an equal amount of money from the proceeds of the man's life insurance?

Dave, I never said I had a problem with them taking the money. Actually, I was impressed by the dedicatedness of the children.

Or refused to take money from the VOTF?

I would say that taking life insurance out for yourself is never a matter of personal greed or covetness because if you "win" you don't get the money anyways.
