Bennetts in WWDB?

By QBlog in Miscellaneous

I just came across a blog post titled "Help Out a Disabled Person." The author explains an encounter with a disabled Quixtar IBO in the World Wide Group.

Also, a posting by someone claiming to be disabled. They say they still want to work, and if you'd only go shop online at their website.

This sounds a lot like the Bennetts, who operate the (now changed) United A.B.L.E. Association. Are the Bennetts in WWDB? Maybe so, maybe not. And I wonder if this new "disabled approach" could be replacing the standard "curiosity approach?"

Anyway, the author of the Help Out a Disabled Person post is understandably concerned about how to handle the situation.

So the question of the day... if this person is being taken advantage of, do I have any sort of obligation to save them from themselves? I'm really torn... part of me wants to say "Stop! You're going to end up in real trouble!" But these people, once they've gotten in, they've usually been brainwashed to the point that they refuse to listen. Frustrating.

Frustrating indeed.

When I was ni WWDB, they Brad Wolgamott me to build your dream find a cause...and "if you didn't have a cuase go down to the local children's burn ward"

But it was usually some sob story that could be aided with money, then you are supposed to tell propects you want to earn money for (x) cause.

But then at dream night, FED, leadership, its all BLING BLING MOTHA EFFA!
