It is true that, in a general way, there is no provision for helping the poor. However, there is one class of people within the congregation who are poor by choice. These are the sacred cows (no pun intended) known as pioneers and
special pioneers.
I don't know how it is now, but when I was a JW, those folks got everything given to them by people who, in many cases, might have need the things given worse than the recipients. They usually had part-time jobs and,
overall, a pretty carefree existence.
